How many pics do you see of a Z next to a Gencoupe, or even WRX in someone's driveway? The Z and Mustang are two flavors of sports car, but they are both still sports cars. In America they are directly comparable, even if their take on what being a sports car is is slightly different.
BTW how do you get a better interest rate on a longer term loan? If you are intent on paying it off in 3 years than get a 3 year loan, the interest rate will be less, AND the actual interest paid will be less. I think you are confused on how that works.
On the original topic, the ONLY reason to spring for the new car would be you simply want a new car. There is no substantive reason to get a 2013, they don't look as good IMO. If you just want a new car, work the dealer for a deal on a 2012. Same thing mechanically, no out of place LED lights on the front facia. And they have an incentive to give you a better price.

Its not 1969 its 2012? What's that supposed to mean??? So we are supposed to forget a huge part of Z history so you can have a rant? We can't forget 69 because the Z34 philosphy of design is the reiteration of the 240z and its the emphasis of my point. So you want to negate facts to stress opinions? Yeah ok...
The interest rate is equal through the term but finance charges are lower over the 6 year term. That's the numbers that you don't see upfront. 3 year loans typically charge $3 extra per $1000.
Anyway dude... you're going around in that useless cycle of trying to point out what people have in there garage when you haven't been to everyones house. I know plenty of people with a Z and a WRX or EVO. I don't know where you think every Z owners second car is a stang or vette. Most I know don't own both. But I do know many that have owned both... its hilarious you say that cuz I myself have been contemplating. Used EVO as a second car just because AWD sports is a different type of driving that I also enjoy. Imho buying a vetter and a Z is redundant. Even if the vette has more power.
You are stating opinions and not basing anything on fact. You are implying that because of your narrow unresearched demographic surrounding your tiny world has stangs and vettes with Z's. You automatically compare the two.
What I'm comparing is an autos heritage, design concept and philosophy and observing the country and culture of the countries in which that car came from. price competitve segments vs engineering competitions are two totally seperate entities. And if you've read my post? I said the only way the Z 2 seat sports car is comparable to the 4 seat muscle car grand tourers is by price comparison.
The description of the 2 types of cars alone prove my point. TO FURTHER PROVE MY POINT... if you own both a vette and Z or stang and Z... obviously they aren't comparable because you get totally different driving experiences, if they were comparable? ALL YOU WOULD NEED IS ONE and not the other.
You chose to buy a vette and a Z... great. But you aren't the world. Maybe you have a couple friends with a stang and Z. Guess what they aren't the world either...
You are seriously confusing the commonality these cars have as sports cars vs being competitive.
