Z looks like a retarded jelly bean
STi looks like it has a potato pealer in the back
RX-8 isn`t a real sports car/is a girly car
I have heard em all. What people don`t seem to realize is a review is one man`s opinion. A man who is no better nor smarter than anyone else. Don`t let the negative comments get to you. I think they`re all great cars.

I love my z... it just bothers me that when they reviewed these two cars they didn't keep in mind that these are sports cars... they shouldn't have put so much emphasis on ride quality... i'm not saying that the rx-8 is a bad car, i just thought the article contained too much bias....

I would worry about the guy on Top Gear...he rated the 350Z the best sports car of the year later on (money talks...this guy just says what he needs to say to get paid).

I didn't have to bother to drive an RX8 because it was butt ugly and I knew it was a gas hog and the reliability of the engine was definately a question mark. What's odd even Emunds.com rated the RX 8 better than the Z. What were they thinking? I love my Z and for those that want that RX8 more power too you but don't say I didn't warn you.....

Yes, the Z is a sports-car, and if you're judging a sports-car by those marks then everything from a 911 to a Ferrari 360, sucks.

Yeah reviewing a sports car and *****ing about the ride finds my last nerve. I actually WANT a rough riding sports car, I couldnt imagine driving my Z with a maxima suspension where I cant feel the road AT ALL. If they want a luxury car, get a luxury car. I personally hate 'em.
die yuppie scum!
die yuppie scum!

here's my mock situation:
"Well, the 350z only has 2 seats, doesn't have alot of room, which makes it impractical, and has a somewhat harsh ride. I give it a C-"
Later that day, after the comment was made on video, Mr. Reviewer finishes up his last bit of work, and heads home.....
..in his 2 seater Corvette/Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche/Lotus/etc.

Yeah, that didn't really scream "unbiased results" to me.
