Nissan 370z vs Chevrolet Camaro, MAN you guys were right.

Wether it be a "roof rack" or a "hood rack" I think we all agree...it's just a nice rack.

yeah, my next door neighbor has a brand new camaro in black, first off, such a bad choice of color on that car lol, but yes, its very nice exterior, interior, what were they thinking?.

Def go with the 370, you wont regret it. As for your wife, i was looking almost the same cars myself before i got my Z, the A5 & g37, style wise, the A5 is a beautiful car, even inside, its just if you car about power, you need to step up to the bigger engine, but as far as drivability in my opinion, the A5 is better then the G.

I disagree..Ive driven the A5 and its highly underpowered..fit and finish were great, but Audi's are on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to reliability..I would've picked a 335i, but went with the G because everyone in my area has a A5/S5/335i/135i

edit: my bad..you meant drivability..well since its underpowered and has awd..i guess it is..but whats the fun in getting a slow good looking car?

Well for her power isnt much, its more reliability, though the car will be leased and under warranty, she doesnt like going to the dealership, so its looking like the g37 or the lexus for her. I am pretty much made up on the 370, now just not sure if I wanna get a vert or coupe as I know not everyone likes it, but I love the convertible, just wanna make sure I am confortable in it.

I will have to disagree with that statement. Ive owned 2 Audis that were turbo charged and never had any issues with the reliability of the car in any way. Those engines can go 200K easy with no probs, other than the usual things that pop up in all cars. Plus their interiors are far more superior to most cars. I would have gone for the TTS but I wanted the power so I went for the Z but I do know that I did downgrade on a few things by going with the Z. Plus even when modded Audi never questioned that when it did come to replacing things that were actually blown by it being modded. I once had the paint on my radio buttons wear away and they replaced the whole radio no questons asked. Nissan actually looks for ways to get out of fixing things if modded.

The A5 is a little weak on power but the S5 isnt.

Just MHO

While my Audi was reliable too, it's hard to hide from 10 years of Consumer's report data....

Go for the G37 coupe...

Same engine, more "girl friendly"

One other tip...don't co-sign for her...either you buy it, and let her drive it, or, she buys it and drives it...unless you've been together for 5 years or longer, have been through financial issues together, and work well together on issues...

Can't say I have ever liked the new Camaro. The new Z design and the whole G35/G37 series are design winners.

At the risk of a "fight", I'd have to say few cars rival the style of the Z. Corvette, the Sky, and perhaps (uhhh...) the Solstice (but that's stretching it a bit).

Speaking of interiors, unless there have been changes, the Elise cockpit is really spartan. Love the body, though.

For all those looking for a four door, im surprised no one has mentioned the Nissan Maxima. I've owned three over the years and they were all solid trouble free rides with good performance.
