Depends what they test it against. Throw it in with some hopped up econoboxes and the Z is king. Put it in with some real sports cars and they think it is getting old, needs some power, should handle a little better. After reading all of the comparisions over the years what I have taken away from it all is that the Z is one well rounded car. It has looks, good power, good handling, etc. It is not the best at any one thing - it does everything well from the factory. I think that is why we all love it. For not much more than the averaged price sedan you get a true sports coupe that can hang with cars twice the cost or more, etc, etc. just like most of the reviews say. It was nice to see them praise it after reading a couple of articles where it came in pretty much last. I still can't see buying any other car I could afford over the Z so what they say doesn't matter to me anyway but I'll have to shoot my WRX driving buddy a copy of the R&T link. 
It's a great car and unbeatable for the money, but I worry that history will repeat itself and the car will get too expensive, too bloated, and too dated to stay relevant. It seems to me that the trend has already begun, let's hope they can keep it in check before it suffers the same fate as the 300Z, the Supra, ect.

Lets just hope nissan doesen't phase out certain parts 0f the 350 as they are doing with the 300. I have a ton of 300 parts and getting some of them takes time. Sometimes too much time.

I'm concerned that unchecked, the prices of the cars that we love are going to keep increasing until they once again price themselves out of the market, especially with the upcoming Supra as well.

I've got a feeling that toyota will escalate the pricing trend with a new supra at about 40k to start. I hope this doesnt happen because there will be no sport coupes for under 30k soon.
Oh well still love my Z.
