Yeah, there's an article both on EVO and Autocar (ITA versions).
EVO believes that the 370z is in difficulty on bumpy asphalt, unlike the Cayman which absorbs the bumps better (it seems they're looking for a bug at all costs...). With Autocar, it is believed that the Cayman is a true sports car, while the 370z is seen as a great GT.
Autocar believes that the Porsche is very cold and "German", unlike the 370z, which is passionate and original. In this I totally agree. I used to have a Cayman S, sold it and feel no regret.. It was too cold, too "perfect"; I don't want my car to be "perfect", I want it to be passionate, I want to be "proud" of it!
I do not know how you Americans consider Porsche, but here most of them are driven by what we call "cumenda" in Milanese dialect, people interested only in the blazon, buying Porsche to be fashionable. Unfortunately, Ferrari is following the same behaviour. We live in a world in which passion and competence are overwhelmed by the desire to appear (Berlusconi rulez!
), and it seems that we don't need "true" cars anymore (Be prepared: soon you'll begin to see FIATs on your roads
).
