Very true...though I think the 2007 design has really come around, in a big way.

It needs to have an automatic transmission (since I'm a newer driver I can't drive stick shift yet) and I just want it to be economical.

Suggestions?

The Datsun 240Z is another very good car:

Didn't Nissan factory recondition some of these cars and sell them in their showrooms.

I am very, very tempted to look into a 240/280Z for my next car. How's reliability on them? I imagine parts could be had rather cheaply?

I'm not really sure, but perhaps that was the case. I can't imagine those are cheap though as they're essentially showroom condition vintage cars.

The early ones didn't survive well as they used a rather thin steel which rusted. I suppose parts can be had easily but then it seems most vintage car parts can be had easily save for those Talbot Lagos or something.

These might be the ones to find.
