Default New C&D article- Fun to Drive

Has anyone looked at the new C&D article - "The 25 grand question" what to buy?
It seems they ranked the NSX and M3 as 5 stars while the Z06 only got 4 .
Good to see some things outrank the Vette especially with all the defectors lately going to the plastic side.

Most defectors are going to the C6 Z51, which is quite a bit different than the C6 Z06.

The article had the C5 ZO6. It must suck because C&D only gave it four stars.

Ask Scot.

He had the NSX lease and owns a C6 Z06.

But he is trying hard to get banned in off topic right now.

Well can't really knock C&D for being biased, they did rate the C5 in the 10 best every year (I think) it was in production.
Hmm, any mention about the beloved EVO?

M3:

Cost of ownership (as in reliability and maintenance): $$$$ (the lower the better)
Curb Appeal: 4 stars
Fun to Drive: 5 stars.

NSX:

$
5 stars
5 stars.

C5Z06:

$
4 stars
4 stars.

That's pretty much how I would rate them too, and I've driven all of those cars. The Z06 is much faster than the other two but lack the steering feel and precision. But 4 stars is still pretty good.

I was surprised the S2k didn't make it in there.

Especially considering there are thousands of much newer s2000's driving around and maybe 100 NSX's in the stats you can actually buy for under 25,000, all of which either have cosmetic/mechanical damage or unusually high miles.
