I have to say, I saw the 370Z at an auto show a few weeks back. Me and Mrs. sat inside and it's very roomy and comfortable. The interior was not too bad, not nearly as bad as the Mini with it's 'Gumball Machine' gauge and Revell® grade plastics.

I still wouldn't want one though, just brought the wife over to distract her from the E-class and S-class Mercs parked across the aisle from it...

(don't actually think it worked though - predict an MB stablemate for her in the near future - But wadda ya gonna do?)

The one thing I did find disconcerting was the 997 TT Cab listed at $147K while the Audi R8 had a sticker of only $125K. The R8 has it all over the 997 Turbo IMHO.
