We think alike. I have minor regrets of not picking up the 2011 STI sedan.

The 5.0 performance is nice, but its still a Mustang and I see more and more old ladies driving them each day.

The Z06 is a sweet car and I'd love to get one. They are just as useless as the 370Z because they're both 2 seats with a useless trunk. "Its a flying gas can with 2 chairs" as my buddy calls my Z. I got a chance to drive my buddies 2007 Z06 two weeks ago and it's so much smoother than the Z and I don't mind the interior. For me the difference between getting a used Z06 vs a new 370Z is just the matter of flipping a coin. I'd be just as happy either way.

I dont understand what people mean when they say this?! Its just a mustang, why the negative connotation? Isnt a Z just a Z? These two cars have been head to head in price and performance for longest time until recent...i dont undertand what makes people think thier 30k car sets them apart from another 30k car. When i had my 370Z i loved it, same with all my 350's...when i saw a mustang...i would ONLY care if it was a GT and always saw it as formidable comp.

Everyone likes to think their kool-aid is sweeter.

In my opinion...

Tier 6: Kia/Hyundai/Suzuki
Tier 5: Ford/Nissan/GM/Chrysler/Honda/Toyota
Tier 4: Lexus/Acura/Infiniti
Tier 3: BMW/Mercedes/Porsche/Audi/VW/Maserati/
Tier 2: Ferrari/Lamborghini/Aston Martin/Bently/Maybach
Tier 1: Rolls Royce/Bugatti/1-off type cars of uber-low production hand-made

Anyone in one tier above someone else who wants to talk smack about brand is just being an idiot imo. as many of the brands have vehicles that are worthy of a Tier higher or lower than the one the majority of their vehicles occupy. Once you move 2 tier levels, then you start to see some real gaps. At 3 tier levels, it's probably a different world, no-matter how loudly Hyundai wants to say that their paint is better than Mercedes.

Mazda is a subsidiary of Ford, and unlike VW/Lamborghini, is not removed far enough in prestige (imo) to warrant it's own category. Jeez. I can't list them all. My all-potent opinion is narrower than that!

Ford sold Mazda, same with Volvo.

Mazda started in 1920, in 1979 Ford bought 7 percent of the company gradually going up to 33 percent over the next couple of decades. Then Ford sold off most of it's shares and now owns about 3%.

There is only one pure tier 1 car......the 2004 1/2 350Z with Miata doors.....everyone knows that!

I have not seen it featured in a rap music video yet. It cannot qualify.
