The thing I love most about those top gear guys, is that their so dramatic. A japanese car, with a French engine, designed in California, by an Indian chap from Alaska :D . My favorite is still the GTO clip.

Did I see that one? Hummmm....I'll have to go check...

Anyway, they really killed the 350Z in that review. I would have to feel one for myself but I thought the 350Z was a little better than what they said it was. Also, that engine they complain about has one a ton of awards so I don't get it. But, everyone does seem to complain about the ride...oh well, I'm gald I got my 8.

It's Jeremy Clarkson, he has a bit of flair for the dramatic. It's a much better car than his review would make one believe, but good reviews on good cars don't get the ratings. Look at his review on the C6 vette, you'd think it was some pile or junk.

Oh come on, he butchered that Z like it was the lamest car ever. The Z isn't as bad as he reviewed it. Now I'm starting to doubt the credibility of his reviews :D

Maybe he had the Ferrarri (for power), Cadi (for comfort), and Miata (for handling) in mind while he was driving that Z.

He did kinda rip it bad. But the things that he said alot of the 350Z owners complain about. So it was an accurate review in some aspects. But I still like the 350Z. But I still for some strange reason I still like the 300Z better than the 350Z.

Does anybody else have all the videos go screwy after a few seconds? You know like watching a scrambled channel kind of? It goes away for like 1 second if i minimize and maximize but then it comes back. Really annoying.

Look at his review on the C6 vette, you'd think it was some pile or junk.
Oh no he did not, OK…now I think the guy is on something (cept for the 8’s review…lol). The C6 is the worlds (I don’t’ care what they say) best sports car. No car performs as good as the vette for that price. But, we all have our taste I guess…


But I still for some strange reason I still like the 300Z better than the 350Z.
You are right, the 300ZX was better looking than the new one. I would have kept the new engine of but traded in some of the new cars looks. My problem with it, don’t get me wrong my first car was a Nissan and I really like them as a company, is the BUTT…I mean what happened back there man??? I just don’t get it…it’s rear is UGLY!!!

If it came with 4 seats (comfortable seats for all passengers like our 8) and had a different butt, I would probably be driving one. Maybe they will change the looks soon…???

I kinda remember the review of the C6. I think they agreed that it has good preformace, it's just the touchy feely things that the vette was missing.

I think the car is pretty expensive over there too, 50 thousand pounds if I remember correctly. That's 95 thousand USD. That's pretty expensive for a base vette. Don't forget they have lots of other makes to compete with it, including TVR ummmmmm.
