So it's either the 370Z which has uninspiring exhaust note and the synchro-blah, or the Z4 S-drive 3.0i with the exciting new feature of LOSING a freaking handbrake. Sure is hard to choose between two blah cars....How about neither?
I'd take the slower, more expensive, less well equipped Z4 over the 'racing hen', because I just can't get into the zed's over-styling and JV interior. There's also the fact that, based on a survey done in my neighborhood, I don't want to have to put a whole tub of gel in my hair and grow some zits and a weak mustache.
Would really be jealous of said zitty, mustachioed gel-vessel's syncro rev match though...

The perfect world would be all of the Z4 - the retarded folding top (for pussies)+ 370Z Syncro mesh+ 370Z kit level+ 370Z power+ the twin testies, the big ones I mean.
Goddamit! I'm going to watch this despite the fact that it will spoil any enjoyment of my legally-downloaded copy when iTunes finally makes it available in 2018.

Yeah really... I remember when they'd run out of cash and have to cut back. I don't need a bunch of dinosaurs in a car review; it's just silly... and not funny silly like usual.

That was a good segment of last nights TG, i was surprised how much Clarkson loved the Z4,the looks of the 370Z are still to grow on me but it did look good out there on the track & its time wasn't far behind a 996 GT3

I FINALLY gotta chance to test drive a new 370Z over the weekend. I am telling you, I LOVE it. Again, I am just a lowly peasant trying to move up from a lowly 2003 SVT Focus.
While AWD is something Americans don't need, it is invaluabe to the skier. It makes even snow tires that much better. There's nothing like going through 6-8" of powder at 55-70MPH before the plows are out.
That said, what Jalop wouldn't want this car for a more sporting option. It sounds about as pure as you can get at that price, being decked out to the threes. $30k. 332HP. 3200lbs. 3 pedals! While I can't see buying a new one over a sub-$20k used Z06, let me know when the lease returns start coming in...

Thanks for the promo! Now I can 'spend' even more time here. Ugh.

Top Gear and Legal are two words as part as RIAA and Legal mp3 downloads. At least in the US. Screw it buddy. Jezza approves it.

I couldn't beat Jeremy's NSX lap of the Laguna Seca in GT4, but I would love to see how well I can lap the old Chevwoo around the track.

He's chubby, balding, aging, kind of an ass but generally commands attention. Sounds like the perfect BMW target buyer to me.
