Not to mention it's not a very practical car, 2 seats, no trunk, etc. Also, only rwd, so not the easiest car to drive in winter. Another thing is the car is a bit too rough, too sporty, and too harsh for the non-enthusiasts among the poser crowds who may opt for something that looks like a sports car but rides like a lexus.

Well said??? Yes, assuming Mr.Pharmacist is looking for a 4WD sedan around $40k.

The numbers posted by the OP is from the Canadian market sales, manufacture will look at the numbers from global sales.

I would not believe the Z is in endangered list as long as NISSAN is still making it, the Z is the symbol of NISSAN, and how could they stop bring it to Canada??

We have little number of Z in Canada, but we won't have none.

I wasn't taking about myself. I was talking about the average canadian. Yes for the general public a 50k 2 seat gas guzzling stiff riding sports car is neither affordable nor logical. Are you disputing this?

They did in '96 with the 300zx tt.. What makes you think it couldn't happen?

Nissan was hoping that the sales of the z34 would match or eclipse those set by the z33.. -Not happening anytime soon..
