Nissan 350Z – Brian Chee's Opinion:
I love this car because it defies reason, deals directly with the heart and is quite affordable. Sure, in the sterile lab of vehicle evaluations it has its compromises – poor visibility, low-slung seats that penalize love handles, cargo and dicey materials come to mind – but canyons aren't in laboratories and the real world requires a blast of fun once in a while. This sweet, sweet car sure delivers fun. The short-throw six-speed manual transmission, the tightly wound V6 engine…and that sexy-mean-sweet-devilish design makes this one heck of a car. Write it down: the 350Z will one day, be just as much a classic as it fore fathers. But heck – who cares about that when there's a twisty road to run and a bright blue baby to take on it?
