OT: What do you think of the new 370Z vs your boxster or a cayman?

Not to get to far into this hornet's nest but if you look at the evolution of styling from the original 240Z to the current 370Z, I think you would agree that alot has changed, either for the better or worse. That is simply a taste issue.

If you look at the same time period for the 911, I think you would agree that very little has changed styling wise.

To me, the 911 is a very boring car, styling wise. It is as if Porsche cannot come up with anything new, so they pretend that they found the design of a lifetime.

I like the styling of the new 370 in that it is fresh to my eye.

IMHO.

PS-On the engine side, I don't see any real innovation from either Porsche or Nisan.

I do like the BMW two stage turbos and the Euro diesel engines though!

If you ignore looks then buy the 370Z if you are a drag racer or don't have the cash for the P car. If you are a road racer then steal the money to buy the P car.

Looks are always subjective but I would say the Cayman is the best looking of the 3 by a wide margin. It's one of the best looking car in the world (IMHO). And, if its top only went down then I would own one.

Check it out. This online mag has a fairly objective opinion on where the vehicles rank, and it's interesting that they wisely put a used Cayman S in the mix. Gives you an idea of what you'd get for roughly $35K.

There is a very reliable statiscal study (trust me..) that if you drive a Porsche you will earn more money in your life and attract a more attractive/intelligent mate.

HELL...

You'd HAVE to earn more money... just to cover the repairs!
