Now that may have been just a bit of a toss-off for a funny, but when the Z beats a car in nearly every category and you choose its opponent... well, sorry, but that's just not playing fair!

And please, the Z4 does NOT look better than the 370Z, yet the Top Gear crew was all gah-gah over it. To me, at least, the Z4 looks

I think that line was a nod to the Z.

It's interesting how differently people can interpret things, eh?

No sweat, if that's how you read it. For me, at least, I interpreted it as them preferring the BMW no matter how the Z performed. And I think they were a little too pleased by the looks of the BMW, certainly more than those of the Z. They were literally gushing over the BMW.

I was also a little offended by the fact that the Z had to share the spotlight at all!
