Nissan Z
The Z is a commendable attempt to salvage what's left of Nissan's sporting soul. Now an SUV-heavy brand, Nissan has seized an opportunity by redesigning the 370Z's body to give it a look reminiscent of the original Z. Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine that develops 400 hp or 420 hp depending on the model, which is more than enough to compete in the segment. What's more, the Z offers a six-speed manual gearbox, though sadly not with the sportier NISMO model.
