That the Z4 manages to push the other Z to fourth place with seductive styling and thrilling engine performance is no real surprise. Those two key components are completely absent in the Nissan. The Z Roadster's VQ engine, now upsized to 3.7 liters, produces the most power in this test, but sounds coarse and feels rough while doing so. And it just doesn't look the way a roadster should. Lop the roof off a burly, broad-shouldered Z and the result is a bulbous lump fitted with a face only a mako could love.
lol...I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the roadster either..and the engine has always been a sticking point with the media.

Still, who the hell cares? It's a magazine's opinion. Enjoy your car through your eyes, not someone elses.

I like this guy's comment:

This is how sports cars should be rated. Who cares about money!? We want the Passion and pleasure of driving a quality sport's car. Not the cheapest and (more times than not) chintziest car money can afford.
lol what?
