+1.

Well, except for the Toybaru part. Breaking loose at 20mph because you've got Prius tires isn't a good thing IMO.

I think the best direct competition for the 370 is the Z4 or Cayman. There aren't too many 300-350hp RWD 2-seater sports cars out there.

That particular problem can be fixed without spending a great deal of cash :P I think they did that purposely to make it oversteer and feel like more of a wild beast than it really is. Nissan went the complete opposite direction with the 370z and its staggered rears.
