FR-S & 370z @ My work parking lot

I don't understand how people compare this two cars, they have nothing in common.
Sorry for the pic quality I take it on the go.

No doubt. One is a sports car and the other is a sports coupe.

IMO the FRS rear looks out dated already.....

well they're both sports coupes (coupe just means 2 door), but the FR-S is a 4-seater.

That's probably what it is, the angle the picture was taken at.

At least that's my understanding.

I don't think there is a set definition, exactly, but the closest thing I could find was on, of course, our good friend wikipedia:

"Classic coupés are hardtopped sports cars or sporty variants of sedan (saloon) body styles, with doors commonly reduced from four to two, and a close-coupled interior (i.e., the rear seat placed further forward than in a standard sedan) offering either two seats or 2+2 seating (space for two passengers in the front and two occasional passengers or children in the rear). The coupé could be a classic coupé or four-door coupé."

Truth be told, if there was a black manual Z-car available in town when I was ordering my FR-S, I prob would be driving that already instead of waiting for the FR-S Love those cars!

They are pretty much the same size when compared side to side. Only similarity lol.
