I'm sure there are exceptions out there (like this one!) but most forums are just nutswingin' all over the place with one or two people who actually know what they are talking about when it comes to any car except X. Of course, a lot of this has to do with no one wanting to admit the new car they just bought is worse off in any way to some car that they view as "inferior."

I'm starting to lurk away from general here, though. There are a billion X vs. 370z threads and they are all a huge joke with nothing of merit said whatsoever.
