It's not gadget-laden, but is very functional (sport-tourer) and has a sufficient number of amenities to make it generally commensurate with modern sports cars.

My first Z was a 240Z and my last one before this 370Z was a 280ZX Turbo. By the time I got the Turbo, the Z had gone far from the sports car category and become a bloated GT luxo-cruiser. I lost interest in the platform. Thirty years later, the 370Z goes back to my expectations of a performance sports car and I am completely happy with it.

Well said. Its what a sports-car should be. If you want airconditioned seats and heated massage lounge chairs get an Audi A8L or the like and leave the real sportscars to those of us who know the difference. People beeotch about what it doesnt have, forgetting what they actually bought in the first place.
