Actually, the rear space in the Z is slightly more generous that the Porsche's "rear seats."

Note: Rear seats are in quotes because they are hardly realistically-sized rears seats.

I lived in Japan for a year, and I never heard of such a penalty.

Also, I was there when the 350Z was first introduced, and guess what? No back seat!

I wouldn't mind having a small back seat..big enough for the dog to ride in, while still having a hatch.

Nice. You would put your dog in your Z???? Would you smoke a cigarette and pee in the seat while your at it?

WTF? You're equating letting your dog ride in the car with willfully damaging it?

I guess you must not like dogs much, eh Michael Vick?

i am just wondering why this POS thread is still open and wasting space, considering we all know there is no such thing as a 4-seat 350Z

The new 08' Nissan Altima Coupe has properties of what has been mentioned throughout this thread. Hopefully my wife will change her '06 Eclipse for one, of course the 3.5l.

Ed, If you decide to go with the new coupe, please post an evaluation. I'm looking at this car as well (not as a replacement for my Z, but adding another car). This vehicle (the 3.5 liter that you point out as the one to buy) looks like a car on which you could do a lot of customization (suspension, tires, wheels, and engine). Fun stuff.

after having the Z for so long, I just can't see having seats behind me. For some reason, I like feeling like I'm in the cockpit of a plane.
