The Nissan 370Z and the BMW Z4 are two seriously sporty offerings headed in two different directions. The Z4 is softer, heavier and more stylish than its predecessor, while the 370Z is harder, lighter and takes some risks with its exterior. The 370Z is a coupe (although it available in a drop-top), and the Z4 has a stow-able aluminum roof. The BMW is a genuine luxury car offering, while the 370Z sits on the lot next to the Quest and the Versa. However, the two vehicles share similar dimensions and performance numbers, and both contain the letter "zed," giving Top Gear enough reason to pit the two coupes against each another on the test track.

Make the jump to see how the duo of Zs fare in Clarkson's review while we try to figure out how the BBC can afford Jurassic Park-style CG.

You know I don't get Europeans, Top Gear especially.

They often complain about suspension being too soft, but when someone builds a car with well performing suspension, then they complain about it being too rough.

Hypocrites.

Anyone can build a car with soft suspension that is comfortable in straight line. Anyone can build a car with suspension so hard and unforgiving that it handles well round corners. It takes engineering skill to combine the two into a single package.

Thats why BMW is always ranked so high. I will admit they do that very well. I still dont think its worth the extra 17k
