Lastly, if I were to consider another performance coupe, while it may be more expensive, the R8 is just secksier than the GT-R (and unlike with Nissan, I know that with Audi, the service department won't treat me like crap if something needs to be repaired under warranty).

I would certainly consider another Nissan.
I will say one thing; my days of bashing American cars have been over for a couple years now. I have both a 2003 Lincoln LS V8 and a 2004 Cadillac CTS in my family “neither is mine” and both those cars are rock solid and have had zero problems over the past few years.
So, while I would consider a Nissan, I would most defiantly give an American car another chance as well when shopping.

I've had absolutely nothing go wrong with my car in almost 4 years of hard driving. And, unlike Toyota's, the car has a soul. I love the thing. But I will not buy a vehicle JUST because it's a Nissan. It has been great, though.

I've owned one of each of the big three asain automakers and here's my take on them. First I had 94 4Runner which was tough as nails. Seriously the biuld quality was amazing I sold it with 200,000 miles and it didnt have a squeek.
Then a 99 Honda Prelude, which I made the mistake of supercharging. The cars build quality compared to Toyota was a joke. My friend opened the door one day and pop, there goes the spring again (happened to both doors twice). Oh and yeah I replaced the interior door handles because the fake crome kept peeling off. And after the modding starting it was the biggest closet peice of **** car.
Anyways to the 350z...I would rank Nissan close to Toyota but still behind them in biuld quality and way better than Honda based on my 350Z. Only thing I hate about Nissan is their lack of attention to paint quality. And foreal their window motors suck A S S.
To sum it up...I would buy a Toyota for a Truck or SUV (since they have no exciting cars whatsoever in production today.) For car/coupe wise, it would have to be a Nissan make. For luxury I would go straight to Infinity; they can't even be touched luxury/performance/value wise, not to mention all their cars are RWD.
btw I love my Z

Hey all - my first post as I'm new to the forum. I love my Nissan 350z and am convinced that for the money it is the most performance you can get off the lot. Having said that - just under 2000 miles (just past break in) my engine ran dry of oil and started to make a variety of noises (valve clattering and etc. I believe.) Very long story short - but I fought with Nissan for just over six months before they gave us a new engine. Unfortunately that process soured the joy of the new car a bit. I still love the car, and have a blast on a regular basis - however have come to believe that although Nissan cars are solid for the most part - Nissan Corporate is a monster and has no clue how to deal with basic customer service. Knowing that I'm a bit reluctant to get another Nissan - unfortunate.
