If you're car shopping and cannot see the difference you deserve to be disappointed.
I can obviously see the differences. What's weird is you guys can't see the similarities. Like, is there a single automotive magazine or website that hasn't compared the 370z to the Mustang? I just Googled 370z vs Mustang and got 17,500,000 results. I started clicking and I think 17,499,999 were legit comparisons.

Nissan isn't a dying brand, Infiniti is in a lull much like Lexus a while back. They'll rebound.

What's amazing is, Nissan refused to add things like carbon brakes to the GTR instead of steadfastly keeping steel brakes. If they did something as simple as that, itd still be one of the best sports car buys in motoring history.

Nissan has always been a little slow on the updates. But they're revolution makers. When they change, everyone changes.
Is this true? I don't see them being that revolutionary at any point ever. And they certainly aren't leading the industry now, although I'm open to hearing your argument on that.
