I read this story with some amusement. If Nissan is serious about competing with Porsche, maybe they can start with modding up their interiors so it doesn't feel like you're surrounded by cheap plastic (which you indeed are). I've sat in a 350Z, and it's nearly as bad as any given Chevrolet. I have often contrasted the 350Z against the Maxda RX-8, the interior of which looks and feels much more refined. Besides, I don't see the California Highway Patrol ordering 200 Zs. ;-)
