Atlanta ajc auto show rant

scope22 · 03-14-2016, 06:27 AM

Went there this weekend, was really excited to see what nissan brought, and it felt like a kick in the nuts. No GTR, ONE silver Z with base interrior, not even a nismo. The guy that was there from nissan said that 370z should be getting a refresh by the end of the year, but most people there are really hot and dont know anything anyways...

what do you expect? THey don't even include them in the lineup in their commercials. I don't think Nissan wants to sell them.

I went to the Cleveland Auto Show a few weeks ago and not even one 370Z or GT-R. Last year was the same thing if I recall correctly.

I kinda brought up this same issue back during Christmas time and all the car commercials are in full swing. Nissan never shows the Z or GTR in them. Not even a cameo just for a coolness effect.

But I do understand why since the Z isn't a top seller for them ( it's past due for a make-over) and with a price tag of $150,000 for a GTR Nismo the average Joe that would go for the Maxima's or Altima's can't afford that car.

Nissan hates us. What else is new? We happen to be fans of their two least profitable vehicle platforms; the ones they produce the least and sell the least of. Why should they care what we think when for every $35k Z they sell, they move like 500 $25k Altimas? Nissan isnt an enthusiast brand like Porsche, which is why they offer an affordable sports car in the first place.

My customer got a Sentra while hertz gave me a Kia. I felt discriminated.
