Nissan is a pretty successful car company. They might not be making what you and I want to buy, but their overall marketing effort to the rest of the world seems to be pretty effective. The vast bulk of their target market appears to prefer cars that aren't particularly exciting. Exciting cars tend to be "niche" vehicles with a limited market due to their expense and/or relative impracticality.

It's 2 niche cars. And one of them, they're commanding a hefty chunk of change over it's worth. DCT's are no longer $30,000 transmissions. Those days have been over for at least half a decade.
I can't stress enough the Z has been an infiniti parts been sports car for over 13 years. It's not that complex of a build considering it's not built on its own proprietary platform like a corvette. It doesn't have a proprietary transmission like the GT-R.
There's no rocket science behind the Z outside of Synchro Rev Match for the manual and maaaaaybe vvel
