This is to all the tools saying this is an FRS/BRZ forum

Regardless of what forum it is if you'll have to be an idiot to choose an FRS over a bugatti, ferrari or any car that obviously looks better. i'll still be unbiased and not pic the twin.. That being said.. i think the new Z's have ugly headlights.. the rear however i think looks better. I'll go with the FRS's front for this.

If the thread insults you get the hell out of here and shut your trap, with that in mind... we should use the space for more specs, actual problems or valuable information regarding the twins. The car you choose is entirely up to you, after all you're going to be paying for it, modding it.. taking picturse of it.

I'm very picky and cannot decide.

You're trolling I hope. There is no comparison.

The only thing I think the forum wants to waste their time answering is which looks better? The FR-S or the BRZ?

And for that my vote is the FR-S.

I like the new 370's rear.. i'v owned two 350z's and always liked the rear of the new Z's better but the headlamps look obtrusive.. just me.. i like sleaker designs.

For HP I'll take the Bugatti Veyron. For looks I would take my FR-S. The Veyron is a hideous bloated monster. I also used to love the way the LFA looked until the FR-S came out. If I could get the engine and features of the LFA in my FR-S it would be a dream.

This is going to sound ricey, but the 370z is one of those cars that looks better with a whale-tail to balance out the high front hoodline.

The pre-facelift Nismo 370z's are the best looking IMO:





That said I prefer the simpler, cleaner lines on the Twins.

Agree, i've never liked the Bugatti.. just trying to be honest there tons of cars better looking and you can't really say you'll pick the FRS over anything. I actually traded an e92 m3 for my FRS and not really becuase of money issues simply because of how easy to mod, light, simple yet stunningly good looking.

I think the responses are exactly what are to be expected. When asking a question as subjective as what looks better then you are going to get some strong opinions. Two of the three cars you say "obviously" look better I think are butt ugly!
Is the forum running out of space????
Do we really need more specs (have they changed), problems (real or perceived) or valuable info (there are tech threads for that).
People that are responding in a manner that apparently does not meet your high standard are also aware that this OP has a great track record on asking the dumbest possible questions!
So to use your own words "If the thread insults you get the hell out of here and shut your trap"

350Z looked decent (and arguably started the movement to bring back the Japanese RWD sportscar in the 21st century).
The new iterations get progressively less attractive.
As is expected from facelifts, the first iteration is always the most coherent design - the ones that follow always exhibit a "change for the sake of change" tendency.
