Welcome to the fourth in a roughly weekly installment. “If This Car Were An Animal What What Would It Be?” is a feature designed for those days of the week when life gets a bit too tough, and when all we want to do is sleep and wait for the weekend to arrive. The idea? Every week we come up with a car, and then an animal that we think that car resembles. Then we invite you to give your opinions, and thus a furry and terrifying creature is born. Just a bit of fun, really!

The Nissan 370Z in Gunmetal

If feel a bit bad about writing about this week’s car, the Nissan 370Z. You see, despite the mocking tone of this silly feature, I actually adore this car. It is sexy, beautiful and damn good at its job, and I love it beyond all belief. However, it is odd that such a beautiful car actually resembles an animal that is considered to be pretty ugly. However, all the hallmarks are there – the powerful metallic body, the bulging back, the rounded curves. Yup, it does look somewhat like an armadillo!

... looks just like an armadillo!
