That's a matter of perspective. How much more will it cost you to drop 500-600lbs and add an LSD?

The 370z is in no-man's land for under $30k. If you want a light RWD coupe, you get a Twin. if you want a light RWD convertible, you get an ND Miata. If you want power (and don't care about size/weight), you buy a 435 hp Mustang GT for $28-29k.

There's a reason 370z sales are so poor despite Nissan slashing prices.

Nissan does not have their $%&@ together. Just a little bitter after they killed the IDx...

Unless you have a problem with domestics. Then your only option is the Z. which imo looks way better than the American cars anyways

You have a problem with domestics, but would be willing to spend 30k on a Renault?...er...I mean Nissan.

Is it based in America? Designed in America? Or by Americans? Produced in America? By one of the traditional "domestic big 3"? Then it doesn't fucking matter where it was 50 years ago or whatever. I know nothing about Renault other than it is or was somehow affiliated with Nissan. But you can in no way call Nissan a "domestic" company

Haha I actually like the styling on the latest Mustangs and Camaros... maybe because they're starting to look more European (Mustang) and Japanese (Camaro).

Here I am thinking the opposite- that the darker colors, such as blue and black, help mute the most egregious aspects of the new front, and the white (and presumably steel) highlight it.

God its so bad...

No LCD on the 86?! Good! Not that I am looking to upgrade, I really like the simplicity of guages.

I like the way the current gauge cluster is set up. However, I do like the additional information the new display offers. A compromise: remove the analog speedometer and put the LCD there!
