If I don't get nav do I still get the nice entertainment center? I don't really need the nav but love the looks of the entertainment center, which I thought was only available if I got the nav system.
Touring adds the Bose system. It's fine, but I wouldn't upgrade to touring just for the Bose. Not terribly difficult to replace the base sound system (and it needs replacing).

Both cars seem very similar and it seems like that Porsche emblem would cost me about 30K extra, and I think that the 370 is a better looking car.
I am coming out of a 2008 Altima, I have owned a 2003 350Z, and a 2005 350Z.
I live in Chicago so I will have a winter car as well.
Any advice on options and trim levels?
Thanks for any help you might offer.
See if you can upgrade your car situation by keeping your 2008 Altima for a bad weather car. That's what I did with my '08 Altima coupe and it's the perfect situation if you can manage it. Trouble free Altima in bad weather and fun Z all the other days. It's my 10 year plan!

Other than the rearview camera what are the differences between the nav and sport packages?

Sports package has nothing to do with the nav.

The sports package are the 19 inch rims, bbk, rear spoiler and if you got the 6 speed the Rev-match

Once you nail that down then I would work with a few different dealers to get the best price. Of course its your money to spend...just my 2 cents.

I STRONGLY recommend Venture Shield Ultra, Avery Fusion Nanofilm, Xpel, or something similar installed by a competant installer.

Black is VERY bad when you ding it/it gets freeway sandblasted. The wax then shows up as white specks in the little sand-blast marks. That clear bra will pay for itself.

Do it before the car leaves the dealer. My dealer (GM though) let my wrapper come in and install it on their showroom floor.

Do you have a link to the clear bra? Is it something I can install myself?

You might be able to, but it's probably worth paying someone to do it, since you get the warranty with it then.
