OT: What do you think of the new 370Z vs your boxster or a cayman? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I have had several 300zxs in the 1990's variety. I really liked the car. They were all normally aspirated with 5 speed trans. Very simply, handled well, decent power and reasonable on price an upkeep.

I haven't like the sit in the tub feel of the newer 350ZX. I do like the looks however. Used, these cars are a stone bargain.

I owned a 280ZX. I loved the looks and the comfort for a long trip was excellent. However, in terms of sports car feel, the ZX had become too bloated and far from the original concept. Again, I liked the car but I found it to be more of a 2 seat luxury cruiser than a "I wish this road had more curves" dicing tool I feel the Boxster is..

The 370Z just doesn't "do" anything for me. I don't care for the styling and the space robot head/tail lights.

I haven't driven one (probably never will) but I've never cared for it's predecessors, either. I've owned one japanese sports car and that was an RX7 back in '79, IIRC; my one and only brief exit from german cars.
