"Manga comic looks?" I think I should take insult to that as a 'manga comic' lover. Same could be said about your facial hair mate.

I was surprised they didn't borrow the pink convertable Micra. That thing is a sin against nature. But the Hamster did look good in it

Pretty nice, I like the comparison at the end. 1x Cayman S = 1x 370Z + 3x Pixo

I can't wait for the Cayman S vs NISMO 370Z comparos. That should be quite a contest.

Unless they compare noses

I actually was seriously pondering a used Cayman S instead of the Z, but I really didn't dig the interior. It just didn't fit me nearly as well as the Z, and the quality of the dials, etc., didn't fit my expectations for a $60K+ car.

Also, being a porsche owner just seems like it would be embarrassing somehow. Getting out of a Porsche just seems to say "I'm an annoying dweeb".

It just seems weird that the regular 370Z is being compared to the Cayman S instead of the regular Cayman in most of these. I'm guessing there is going to be very little difference between the NISMO ans the S when they go head to head (well, except the price )

Think about it for the price difference you save between the two you could put an extra 10k into the Z and destroy the Cayman S.

Nice video. I actually obsessed over the Cayman S for about a year before it was time to make a purchase this February. The 370z won me over, and I chose it over a 2 year old Cayman S.

As much as I love Porsche's, I agree with what the video said... the 370z just looks mean compared to the Cayman S. Now... the GT3 or Turbo on the other hand.... but thats apples and oranges.

It's "coupé" (coo-pay), it's never been supposed to be pronounced coupe. Coupé is a french noun meaning "cut", like we cut two of the four doors and now it's a coupé.

I definitely thought about the Caymen before I bought the Z but in the end it just screams ”I bought a caymen because I couldn't commit for a 911". Personally I don't like driving the lowest tier model a manufacturer has to offer.

I like the fact that the 370z is bench marked to the Porsche cayman s; however, a porsche is still a porsche. Essentially you're paying for the name and performance behind the badge. I remember I was cruising through some Porsche forums when a magazine did the comparison between the two, and people had nothing but "fan boy" remarks to say about the Porsche.

I think as a car enthusiast you should be able to appreciate cars such as the the cayman S and the 370z on different levels.

Like so many other things we, Americans, say "coupe" and the rest of the world says "coupé."
