I am waiting for BMW to put the twin turbo 3lt DIESEL engine in their coupe version and hope that they will allow to order it with a manual transmission.................then I will wait for a big block V8 engine to challenge it in a red light.

PS: As an added bonus i will love to get 36 mpg

c'mon alefcole if you order the one now you can probably get it by Jan. Euro delivery and PCD--what a great way to start off the new year.

Plus new orders will be getting the start button engraved with "YEAR ONE OF THE ONE" till the end of february 2009 (when a full year since launch has passed), so I have 3 months to think about it. Better wait and test drive this 370Z, just to be sure.

Poor mans R8???

.. I think it'll be a very good competitor EVEN though 35000 pounds is equal to $50, 000 but they have VATS and stuff which brings the price up. Looks nice actually.

I'm coming from an '06 STI, and while the 08 STI is fun to drive, higher quality and comfier than mine, it is quite overpriced and lacking features a 35-40k should have such as keyless entry/go, one-touch up and down windows, etc.

135i doesn't look that aggressive but it's a performer. STI on the other side is a serious performer as well but looks okay. Nothing I'd brag to my friends about. I like my car to have appearance and power. I guess that's why I drive a Z

Appearance and power are very subjective and what looks beautiful to one looks ugly to the other one. Power is the same thing, for someone driving a honda civic as a daily driver 300HP may seem a lot, but if you own a 911 turbo then 300HP is a slow turtle. I think your final choice is down to one simple thing:

How much power can you afford, in other words HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU WILLING TO SPEND.......then your $32000 dollars car will look just beautiful into your eyes. :stfu:
