I've driven quite a few sports cars and found horrendously annoying things about them. I know many others that complain about the same things. But they aren't really stressed in the reviews. If the Z has a 4inch long piece of plastic on the lowest part of the console that you can't see and looks cheap? That piece of plastic will get 2 paragraphs in a review of negativity. The whole FR-S interior is pretty chintzy, yet no one cares to stress it in summary length monologues.
When I see shyt like that, I have to call corporate politics. Remember, the Nissan corp is probably the only japanese car company that doesn't have a "Direct-Alliance" with an american automaker. They almost had one with dodge for the titan. But the auto-bailouts killed it. So now they have the Daimler contract instead. hmmmmm???? USA, angry for not sharing Nissan secrets with american companies? I have yet to see an american car with any type of DRM/SRM or serious dual clutch. Maybe they need help from Nissan and Nissan isn't helping? Maybe Nissan doesn't want American Corporations digging deep in there pockets and destabiling there Euro-Asian way of doing business???
And maybe the corporations are mad at that? Maybe they are using the car mag reviewers they have in there pockets to write trash articles on the Z??? Bad halo car press affects all models to some degree. Hitting the halo is the kick in the balls...
Mitsu, toyota, honda and mazda are all linked to american automakers. Subaru shares a lot of technology. Nissan isn't big on sharing with american companies and are always secretive in there business dealings toward the american market. I call "corporate american jelly".
BEFORE PRESUMING FANBOYISM...
I'm not saying there isn't any realism to most of the Z's issues. But other cars never get this much bad press when there are cars with more issues. BMW, Audi, Mitsubishi and hyundai have seen more reliability issues in there sports cars. Where's the laundry list on there complaints??? Just keeping it real.
