And if FWD doesn’t scare them away, the exterior design will.

I see your point, but some people prefer to shift the gears manually (present company included). Also, it is nice to still be able to buy a car with a hydraulic steering rack!

Using a toothbrush you should be able to reach all parts of the caliper visible to the naked eye (when wheels are mounted).

I’m left here wondering why the engine spins so fast on the highway? Wouldn’t you want to gear the car so that top gear cruising on the highway keeps the car off boost?

you’re thinking of the R. You can buy non-R GT350s for less than $50k lightly used.

I get crap in my office sometimes because I’m the only employee that owns a Porsche (purchased used). Yet nobody bats an eye whenever someone buys a new $50k+ pickup truck.

Are the air vents on the front and rear bumpers functional? (talking about the ones on the corners). If they’re not, sinful. Especially since on the front they removed the fog lamps (why exactly?), which only makes it more obvious.

Are we really arguing about this? That lap time was set by a 600 hp race car. Not anything remotely resembling a production car.

I’ve stayed away from them for the following reasons:

If it’s remotely close to the weight of the BRZ then the current power, or slightly less (300) is just fine. That doesn’t need to blow up the car’s price much at all.

The 350Z ALSO shares its platform with the Infiniti FX35/45 crossover SUVs and if you think that fact had no impact on the platform’s overall weight you’re just kidding yourself.

No, the correct answer is 6 gears. When i’m cruising at 80 mph in my GS-R the engine is spinning at 4300 rpm. This car needs a 6th gear.

Developing a new Z car alongside the Infiniti Q60 “might” be initially cheaper for Nissan, but I think it would result in a massive sales failure. It would be just as heavy and big as the Mustang/Camaro, less powerful, and more complicated.

Whatever it takes to delay the plague known as yellow tree pollen.

In reply to your headline:

How about no? V12 smoothness >>>>> any other engine.

And sure, 12-cylinder engines are cool, but smaller engines with forced induction have them beat in pretty much every way objectively possible.

Other than fancy seats, exactly why should anyone buy this over the other Lincoln sedan? It doesn’t stand out enough.

Toyota/Scion for years offered a dealer-installed supercharger kit for the Scion tC. Scion freaking tC.

Oh right because Toyota would drop the most popular transmission choice.
