Mustang and Camaro are on every corner.
The Z is rarer, and albeit not so much faster, but plenty fast enough.

This is important. The 370Z lacks a killer-app, a chart-topping figure that gets people talking. Don't get me wrong, I love my Z because its 9/10s as good as the other sports cars in every category, but it doesn't beat them in any category either. No trump card. What are the big selling points for the other cars?
Mustang & Camaro: Highest horsepower.
FRS & Miata: Cost.
WRX & EVO: All wheel drive.
Boxster: Luxury, and handling.
Corvette: Value. Porsche performance that normal people can afford.
The Z is 2nd or 3rd place in each of those categories, so it represents (for us) the best overall package, but compromise doesn't shout loud in the press.
