The way I described the Z3 was that it looked like a Miata on bad steroids.
I agree about the G35, too. I saw one on the road the other day and I really
liked it. Saw a new 350Z in dark metallic blue and thought that it looked quite
nice. I'm still not a fan of the new styling, but the blue looked good on it.
