What comes after Z?, we wondered when Nissan let the stage go black in 1996 and officially bid farewell to the Z-car at an event at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Sales of the twin-turbo 300ZX had been declining as fast as applications for library cards, so Nissan simply stopped selling the car in the U.S. It made us wonder where the Z fit in Nissan's future.

The answer came in 2002, when the Nissan 350Z appeared, a serious sports car that seemed to measure itself against the Corvette in both speed and style. It brought people back to Nissan, but lots of the young enthusiasts didn't know what an icon the Z had been for the company since its inception in 1970.

With the 2009 Nissan 370Z, all that changes. As a Z should be, the 370Z is a statement of purpose, not just another car on the showroom floor. With this second-generation version of the revitalized Z, the car has moved on from affordable performance to something that brings new descriptions into play — not only like quick, fast, strong and powerful, but also gorgeous, luxurious, nimble, graceful, delicate and smooth.

This is a car so good that it makes you wonder what kind of car it is: a sports car, a sport coupe or a muscle-bound pony car? And that's where the 2008 BMW 135i comes in, a pocket-size BMW M3 with an affordable price tag to match.

luv da bmw 135i..best..:)

[svmetalhead3]

yeah but the 135i is wayyyy faster than the 335i

[08turboSS]

The 335 is 200+ lbs heavier and its also a 1\4 of a sec slower to 60 mph then the 135 check BMW's own website for more performance figures too. 135 is a faster far more nimble machine....

[khyentse8]

yup watch the comparison test.

[4MATICbenz]

no, on the contrary, the 335i edmunds tested last year was quicker than this. It was a 335i sedan which achieved 60 in 5.0 flat and i bet the lighter 3-series coupe is quicker than that.

dude 370z brings more performance? r u crazy???

[4MATICbenz]

This car is adorable, looks especially great in convertible form. A tad over-priced, though. Would easily spend 5-6k more for a 3-series

This Camaro coming out will be nothing like anything from the past, you have to admit that. Even the V6 is now worth the money.

better car*...sorry about that

370z or 135i tii, the nissan brings a little bit more performance than the bmw but bmw is bmw and a best car for everyday use, performance is pretty good as well. Hyundai sucks and camaro's consumption will suck to
