What the Alfa and the Z have in common is.... So called "enthusiasts" usually don't get it when they're out and being sold. When they're gone, people realize what's missing in current cars and realized those cars they mocked in the past were actually the driving experience they were looking for. Look at old mustang vs Z threads on here and you'll see what I mean. There was a time this was more of a mustang forum than a Z forum. Advertising and the need to feel more Americana made people shun the Z with the quickness and run to a mustang. While the mustang was a faster car. It can't hold a candle to the Z driving experience. Now at the end of the cycle. Reviewers are finally saying it is a good car, just dated. But 4 or 5 years ago. They were all hating the Z until Carlos Lago decided to NOT join the auto-propagandist status quo media and give his REAL OPINION. Because he's so respected. The Joneses followed by being more positive and altering the 4 years of trash talk that followed an isolated incident during a corporate(car) & driver test. They blamed the accident on Z brakes. I believe they fvcked up and blamed the car. Because of that article and mind control style writing. The Z became hated. So don't let the hype sway your soul.
