To me the Audi sedan versus 350Z comparison isn't valid on any level. He should compare the Audi with the G35. As an aside, didn't the G35 destroy all the competition in recent Motor Trend comparison test?

But if you throw value into the mix I think japanese cars are hard to beat. Look at the LS430 for example, is it a better car than a S class? maybe, maybe not. But factor in a $20K savings and I think the Lexus is a hell of a bargan.
i agree with everything you said. Except for the WV/audi part.

I think it should be VW/audi

No, No, he had it right the first time, that was a reference to the 80's FIASCO when Audi thought they could get german quality out of their WEST VIRGINIA manufacturing facility. It was ok for a while, but then all the cousins married each other and there was no one left to build any cars.

well I did mean VW. But for some strange reason I mixed it up. I guess it's because I used to live in WV and I drove a VW (Fox). Don't laugh, I it's true. If I were making it up I would have said a VW corrado (those were cool).
