I've seen numerous articles in magazines comparing new sports car models with slightly older models. However, the Z almost never gets mentioned anymore. For example, the FT-86 speculation pegs it agains the BMW 1M and TTS. No Z mention. I've seen this time and again lately with various models. So is the Z an ugly duck now or is it considered to be in some lesser category than the TTS, 1M, FT-86, etc etc?

The Z isn't "fresh" anymore and yeah it's probably mainly a 2+2 comparo. The Z is more in the Cayman/Boxster/Z4 crowd than anything else.

Well with the FT86 there is still a lot of rumors of where it will land, 1M or down with the Gen coupe 2.0T.
The Z hit its stride already and has nothing new to offer from Nissan until an engine update or a style update.

I have a hard time believing that toyota will put out a 300HP coupe to compete with the Z. Still, the concept looks nice.

Well, technically it does not need 300HP to compete with the Z but it would require them to meet the weight of 2500lbs.
