Yeah, no.

That's from a C5, you are aware this is from an older generation (one which dates back 12 years ago). Unfortunately, the newer interiors are not that great either, but one cannot deny what the car can accomplish on asphalt.

Are we honestly bringing interiors into the equation here? I thought we were talking about low-weight sports coupes, not leather-lined luxo barges.

I don't see any luxobarges here? I just see an idiot recommending a C5 Vette when we're discussing a high-strung 4-cylinder and a V6.

I'd consider the C5 as an alternative. The interior isn't much worse than that of the S2000. You also get the V8 rumble and power, which I personally prefer over a high-strung 4 or 6.

And nobody can fault a C5 for lack of performance. For other things, yes, but we're talking about sports coupes here. I've never heard anyone compliment an S2000 for its wonderful, relaxing ride and low NVH.

The OP asked which car was more stylish. I just can't accept either of these cars as "stylish". I think virtually all the Japanese performance cars are more garish than stylish. Corvettes and Vipers are cartoonish. These days you have to look to Europe for a stylish automobile.

But there's nothing garish about the styling of the S2000, which doesn't resemble most Japanese cars.

C5 Corvette interior:

S2000 interior:

I question the sanity of anyone who doesn't think the S2000 interior is one of the best-looking in a contemporary production car, nonetheless who thinks the C5 interior "isn't much worse."

I happen to hate how both the 350 and 370Z look, inside and out, so I'd never consider them. They look like bloated cartoon versions of vintage Zs and ZXs. I also don't understand how anybody could cross-shop between a C5 and an S2000. They are completely different cars with different emphases. It's not just about numbers, after all.

Wait, are we talking about more stylish interior or more stylish in attracting the womens? Because the Z gets their attention more than an S2000, at least at first.

Women who care about which particular $30k sporty car you drive are not women I'd want to attract.

I've had it for 12 years, smartass. My first car was a Honda Prelude Type SH and my second was an Acura RSX Type S--yes, I'm partial to Hondas and high-revving inline-4s. Before I got the Prelude, I drove my dad's old 1987 300ZX. T-tops, baby. That's how you get women.
