how about that 370Z???!!!??
i finally saw one on the road and thought it looked pretty cool. but I can't say that I would have any interest in buying one. given what they want for one - in the $30k ballpark - I'd be FAR more intersted in buying a low mileage used 987S...even if I had to kcik in a few grand more to get that car - that would be way more fun and a better bang for the buck.
you could probably get into a used cayman (base) for the 30k price point. which I htink would be classier and more fun than the Z.
i agree wiht a lot of the above posts that point out that something like hte Z is a great car on paper, but when you get in, drive it, and take in the "whole package" you are gettin ga better built classier car with teh Porsceh. specs only tell you so much.
the best example I can think of was while researching what car I wanted - i test drove the new EVO X. on paper the magazines talk about this car like it is the holy grail. i was expecting to be blow away - i was totally let down. quick, but not wicked fast. and it felt cheap and very NOT sporty. i then test drove, teh same day, a mazda RX8. spec wise - NOT nearly as fast as the EVO. fun to drive - the RX8 was TEN times more fun. it felt like a sports car. i seriouslyh almost bought a used RX8 instead of the boxster, but ultimately, i was looking for a third car - that was all about fun - and a drop top two seater just fit the bill. if i was looking for a somwehat practical sporty car - the rx8 would be a serious contender, despite it's lack of torque and crummy MPG.
the Z will probably sell welll - and I'd love to try one - but i kinda doubt I would buy one - ever.
