And if you think that makes it difficult for a moderately mature-looking American male to drive a Toyota Yaris Liftback for a week, you're durn tootin' right. 'Uh, yeah, it's my daughter's car' is a lie one can tell only so many times.

It's still a treat despite being old by automotive standards. The Nissan 350Z was introduced way back in 2003 to less than unanimous acclaim, some complaining that it didn't look like the original 240Z and others saying that it was too bulky or not ...
