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.

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).
