When was the last time you saw a caravan of BMW's (Better Money Wasted) going down the highway or a parking lot with 200 to 300 of them with people drooling over them. CR can say what ever someone pays the to say, I mean say what ever they want, but he public knows what they like.

Yeah, I wouldn't know a 350Z if it fell on me. But a Corvette, no matter what year or generation, you KNOW is a Corvette.....

I've subscribed to CR for many years. I believe that they are honest & not corrupt or bribed.

Their problem is that they tend to be very conservative & timid when it comes to these kinds of reviews & also reviews involving things like herbal/natural medicines. Alot of their info is very accurate in other areas. There just not very adventurous, especially when it comes to Vettes.

Hmmmm.....why would they? There really is nothing for them to crack about. The 350Z is inferior to the Corvette in every way. Corvettes do live forever and I have to disagree with you on the Z car because the Z car is in my opinion and the opinion of many the ONE and ONLY Japanese car that has any history, any tradition, and any classic status.

However, again, it is still inferior in every way. I owned a Z car and sold it when I bought my 'vette. I had two cars to choose from to sell and it was either the Z or the Firebird and as you can see below, the Americans won.
