i figured it was clarkson just from what you all had said... he has really odd taste in cars, like i said see his 100 best cars ever episode and the order he puts things in and the cars he chooses and the ones he leaves out are just ridiculous... if i remember correctly he said the Ferrari 355 was the best car ever made, and then he totally bashed the Ferrari F50

Considering just about EVERY other place that has done a comparison has said they are a tie and picked the EVO over the STi as being a more fun to drive car ...

Hopefully the build quality issues were just because he was driving a first model year car, but I think he's pretty much on point with the rest of it. The 350 is a gimicky car that could have been a lot more than it is.

as far as the interior goes, I've noticed all the things he pointed out in all of the 350s i've been in. The hatch looses all practicality with that strut tower/style bar. I dont' think the engine note is quite as bad as he says though. I would take a G35 coupe over 350z anyday. They are better looking (IMO), more practical and almost (if not) as fast.

ummm was it me.... or did he not like the car.. LOL

few things he pointed out. I'd agree with.
About the compartments. and lack of trunk with the massive bar.
But I still think its a nice car.
Still glad i bought a evo instead of it

Renault is know to make shitty motors lol

The Murano is yet another example of Nissan's amazing revival as a car company. Only a few years ago, it was struggling financially and it had little to offer consumers. That all changed after CEO Carlos Ghosn took over and Renault of France bought 44% of Nissan.

This just one more reason i dont liek nissan that much.. Near 50% french owned.. I dont shop at traget casue they are owned and operated by french canadians. They dont allow toys for tot's or anything.
