Default No Glovebox?? 350ZX? *Video*

See if you guys can find any other mistakes in this car review video.... How do these people make such large mistakes LOL! Talk about having a lack of attention to detail!

The link to the video is just under the picture of the redline Z with the guy standing in front of it.

these people really didnt pay much attention to the car, theres the "glovebox" behind the seat, the open hatch button above the license plate, and theres an electrical outlet underneath the front cupholder, one behind the seat, and theres the child seat anchor and another outlet in the trunk

Agreed. Plus he was saying that it's not as fast as the s2000 or boxter? If I remember correctly, the 350z beat both of those cars in that Best Motoring video.

Kept referring to the last Z (the 300) as the 350ZX, and this one as just the 350Z. No glove box, too funny.

But, he sounds like half us techs when the thing came out too. It took some of the guys awhile to find all the little things, like the manual rear hatch release under the rear strut bar.

did he say it is not a pure sports car like the boxter or the s2k? He also said 27 more hp than the g35...I thought it was only 7 more.

".....the Z is a 30K Porsche."

Ohhhh someone's gonna pay.

There's so much false information in that.

It's like my final exam all over again.

I like the idea of e-mailing him. At least he might take more time to write his next review.... Pretty sad.

If he'd taken the time to at least do a summary glance at the owners manual he might not have come off as such a dumb*ss.

Very unprofessional, but then again, this looks like a cable-access show. Check the About Section...

The quote about the massive stereo system that can blow you out of the car has me laughing.

Really that many adapters! I didn't know that, I feel left out, I only have the one behind the seats.
