well, i'm not entirely shocked with the results, i mean, the nissan was the one and only non luxury vehicle in the group, so its impressive that they chose it to be apart of the comparison. aside from that, i am amused that even though they thought the Z drove better than the Z4, the styling is what set them back. for me, function over style. i certainly think looks play a large part in purchasing a vehicle, but if it drives like crap, i'm not buying it.
like everyone has said in this thread, the whole comparison was based on opinion. you'll get groups that will love/hate each one of those cars and will spout out 100 reasons each one should be #1. for me, do i think the Z falls in dead last? probably not, i think it should be slotted above the Z4, but its merely my opinion
