Nissan’s 370Z has been around in pretty much the same guise since 2004. Yes, it was called the 350Z back then but essentially it’s the same car. Similar chassis, familiar interior, and much the same drivetrain, albeit with much more power. So how does Nissan justify selling this car...

The Golf 8 is around the corner, but VW has treated us with a revised Golf 7.5 GTI. I say treated, because that’s what it feels like from behind the wheel. I spend some time with the 7.5 GTI noting the key differences, and report on whether or not...
