Motor Trend 8/29/12 2012 370 Review

What is different in the 2013 rear? He said it was re-designed. The only thing I am aware off is the fog light.

that is correct, i believe he was mistaken/mistyped there. i read this article a little while ago too. seems pretty fair and overall positive for the Z. here's hoping nissan brings in some focus to the car's goals when it gets updated soon

The Z IS competing with the Z4 and the TT. Here in Germany the TTRS lost to a 370Z in a video comparison. Simple check of the article shows why the Z cost more than the others they mistakenly compare it to....chassis dynamics. Period.
In fact here in Germany the Z is known as the Japanese 911. The shape, the power etc.
MT has it wrong. Where in any literature is the Z remotely even trying to compete with those priced much less. That's an assumption they have ZERO proof off.
Since a TTRS is equipped with a 5 cyl turbo, base or otherwise the Z stands out with its lack of turbo and more torque, linear V6. Better brakes etc. To get a TTRS with comparable Z power you will pay much more. The article lacks rational analysis of the actual market the Z is in to begin with.
