When I was researching the 370 I was kinda disapointed with how much subjective information was out there. Most magizines don't re-review a car that they have already tested without some significant changes made to it. Nissan came out with it in 08. Offered a couple different colors for it 09, made some of the options from previous years standard in 10 (in-cabin filter, ect..). There are too many new cars coming out to being "wasting" pages in a car that isn't any different that the one they reviewed a year or 2 ago. If Nissan wants to keep their cars in the mags they will have to up the hp 10 or so ever year, tweak suspenions settings, and hand out face lifts more often.
It is just like in the sport bike world. No matter how good a bike is when it comes out. It may get good reviews the next year if it is unchanged, but by year number 3 it is the "red headed step child" and will be all but forgotten even in the shootout issues.
