What was your second choice?

mcphelps · 09-01-2009, 12:54 PM

The Z was my second choice. I was waiting to trade in our 06 Pontiac Solstice on a 09 Solstice GXP Coupe, but GM temporally closed the plant, delaying its introduction. That gave me time to think: With all of the short comings of the 06 Solstice, I could always tell myself "It's only a $20K car". Bottom line, though, was that all of those short comings hadn't been addressed in the coupe, and it was going to come in over $30K, which I was not willing to live with at that price. Once I started looking at the Z though, I never looked back. Plus, I have a 2001 Pathfinder with a VQ35, and it has 250K miles on it with a minimal amount of repairs, so it's kind of made me partial to VQ Nissan's and Infiniti's.

Some of the usual suspects have seriously tempted me at one point or another, but I went an 08 350Z and I really like these cars in most ways. Now I'm fighting back 370Z'itis since my 350 is just a base model. I want a white/persimon with all the goodies

Bmw 335 Coupe (Alpine White with Saddle Brown interiors). Still have my 350z.

370z is winning by far. My wife still pushing for a 4 seater.
Might get her an lease on that 335, but I WILL HAVE MY 370Z!!!!!

the only other car i test drove was the solstice gxp coup, but the 370 blew it away in pretty much every category, except removable top.

it was a no brainer.

My wife and I were looking closely at a 2008 Yellow Corvette convertible until the salesman mentioned that the son of the dealerships owner had been driving it for the past three weeks! Later that day we saw my beautiful Magnetic Black 370Z Sport Touring. We drove it home 2 hours later...
