Why didn't you just put an oil cooler on rather than selling for a loss and buying a Cayman? Now you have the same performance, a car that is not nearly as pretty, and you are out a ton of money.

I chose not to put money into a car if the manufacturer chose not to own up to the issue.

Actually I have purchased 2 Caymans since I got rid of the Z. The first was an '08' manual. I then drove an '09' with PDK and PASM and traded the '08' in on the '09'.

The original plan was to buy a Nizmo when it came out. My sales guy new I wanted one. This gets back to the original point of Nissan's costs.

That’s because every “merkin” face magazine reviewer is going drive it (370Z) like it’s in a demolition derby!

Then the solution for Nissan is simple. Let the journalists drive the car on the highways.

Cayman engines have a 20% failure rate by 60k miles and the 2009's with DFI have serious problems with carboning. The rear main seal problems are a sign of high quality?

I'll give you the rear main seal. I replaced 2 on my 996.
20% failure rate at 60k. I don't think so.
Just spoke to the regional rep today about the intakes and carbon. He said it can be an issue on DFI engines. Gasoline type and driving style are players in this game. The Audi R8 has this issue as well.

Hopefully VW can fix the entire BS………….I’ve owned Porsches in the past and hopefully the problems will get fix in the future!

VW may will fix the issues. However, it is a given that Carlos will merely go the smoke an mirrors route.

Robert, thanks I am really enjoying the new car.

Almost forgot, the oil temp issue was my only complaint with the car.
