Looks Only: 370z or Cayman S

I like 'em both....but, I sure couldn't afford the maintenance expenses on the Cayman S. If the Z was the Touring Sport model w/rear spoiler I would favor the Z.

You're asking the wrong people. Why would 370Z guys buy a car and then admit something like a Cayman S was better looking? We're biased admit it or not. My first choice was a used 50k Cayman S until I saw a Z coming in at 38 new. Value became more important than $pending big bux on pure German engineering. The only thing that bugged me about the Cayman were the two gigantic bumper tabs that stick out on the rear. It is is just plain ugly. As for it's weight, you can tell which one of the two is about 400 lbs. heavier.

Cayman from the rear only... The z dominates every other angle

I like a more aggressive look, so the Z does it for me. For those more into the sleek look though, then the Cayman would be better.

FWIW, I know more people that dislike how the Cayman looks vs those who dislike the 370Z's looks.

I think the Z looks better in the first picture. But the white of the "gaymen" is better IMO

Yeah...

And why does it have hemroids??? (By the license plate)

And I agree with AK, on that first pic, and with every 370, if it doesn't have a rear spoiler, I think it's quite ugly... So in that instance if I couldn't add a spoiler to the 370, I'd take the Gayman, but I'd leave it in the garage on jack stands so I can just say it's broken... Not

Of course I wanted the sport package with spoiler... But my car doesn't look bad for a leased base model right?
