Default WTF? No bluetooth in the base model?

Okay so you're telling me that the hyundai comes standard with bluetooth and i have to upgrade to bluetooth with a Z? I have to get the grand touring to get bluetooth? Also, does the base sport have a navi? I think the nissan website sucks. Where are the interior shots of the z?

Lack of options too wtf?

But really though, do i have to spend 5k in package options to get bluetooth?

WTF I AM BUYING THE MODEL THAT LACKS OPTIONS SO THE CAR CAN BE HAD FOR LESS $, WHY DOESNT IT HAVE LUXURY OPTIONS!?!!?

seriously dude.

you can get an aftermarket hu w/ bluetooth, but the console for the 370z looks like it would be hard to get a dash kit for. I would just pony up and get a higher trim.

.. or you can go buy a genesis. everyone loves the tiberon 2.0

Default bluetooth

Considering it's required by law now in california i think they should have offered it with the base model. Especially since the Genesis has offered it. It's not a hard option to install. Not sure about the product planning on this note. I get that they're trying to upsell, but if i can get a genesis coupe that's nearly as good and nearly as fast for half the money... seems like a smarter option.

It is kind of lame you can't customize more like you can with many European cars. I think Bluetooth is going to be a more and more standard option though, as laws begin to be passed banning cell use in cars.

Well to answer your second question and give you something else to whine about: No, the base does not come with Nav. If you want Nav you got to move up to the touring. The sport package has nothing to do with Nav. The nav package is something different and only for the touring.

Lastly if you like the Genesis so much just get that. Just don't cry when a 370z beats you.

If you would consider the genesis then you should go buy one. The Z is in another playing field alltogether. The Genesis may be nearly as fast but who knows the reliability of it plus......it looks cheap. Its a reason hyndai offers a 10 year warranty on there cars because even they know their cars are not reliable.

No, you offer a 10 year warranty if you're sure your cars are reliable. If you're sure that your engine will last 10 years, what's the point of offering a 5 year warranty? Give customers a 10 year warranty to give them more incentive to buy the car. If you know that the engine will only last 5 years, offering a 10 year warranty is suicide. You'll be buried with warranty repair costs.

looks like someone is going to be buying a hyundai and maybe trolling somewhere else instead because they want their precious bluetooth.

Goes in to buy a sports car and leaves because it has no blue tooth. Hm. I guess when you're racing on a real track talking to mom at home matters most to some. And wait isn't webridestv a youtube account that does testing?

actually hyundai offers alot more options for the money than a 350z, but most of us didnt buy the Z for the options.
