Motortrend tests 2015 Nismo 370Z

I got a laugh when the reviewer wrote "the interior felt like it finally made the jump to modern times and better matched with the aggressive exterior styling". It's the same f'ing interior that the Z has had for 6 years, for crying out loud!

I agree with the criticisms of the $46K price tag - that's ridiculous. For that price I'd buy a Challenger SRT8 Scat Pack (pretty much fully optioned) instead.

The seats and the Alcantara on the wheel, doors, and dash are new though, right? That's enough to make a big difference in how the interior feels.

Would you believe that alcantara costs so much yet a lot, not all, car enthusiasts do not really like it for its 70's-80's suede look?

I don't like it myself and much prefer leather.

Really? Wow, I'd take Alcantara over leather any day. Heck, I'd take the base cloth over leather.

Leather is hot in summer, cold in winter, and doesn't hold you in place very well (IMHO).

I'm with you. I can't stand leather seats...way too slippery. I also find cloth more comfortable when driving long distances.
