Why aren't 370's in commercials?

They don't need to advertise it. People actual seek them.

Several things are to blame IMO. Z cars have a following so there is no need to advertise. The platform is great, but it is OLD. Also those of us in the market for a small two seat car is a very slim segment. Everyone wants a huge lumbering beast with a big screen in the dash and the WiFi.

Not sure about the z exactly but I imagine sales market is the number one reason (not a huge market for 2 door, 2 seat coupe). As to the poster comment on GT-R not having commercials it was actually done that way on purpose. There is a GT-R documentary and the project lead specifically stated that if they need to make a commercial for it to get recognition then it is a failure.

In addition to the previous post, who in their bright mind would advertise an increadibly impractical 8-yr old idea (it's actually 9 maybe 10)?

As has been stated there's no need to advertise performance cars because people who want them will seek them out. When's the last time you saw an ad for a 911?

Oh, and Nissan doesn't give a $h*t about us. There's that too.

Sportscars in general are going the way of the dodo; the market has spoken, and it has 2.5 kids and a dog and wants 4-doors, 4 wheel drive, and 40mpg.

That and petrol-heads don't really need to be marketed to. We tend to be highly informed, super passionate about our preferred brand (actually, religious is a better term), and few of us have a TV in the garage anyway.

Guess its better off this way. I know around my area (Maryland) I do a double take every time I see a newer Z since its so infrequent, then it seems 75% of those are 350's. Camaro's, Mustangs, 911's, Vettes out the behind, I do like to be in a minority, for instance I'm sure the above are all great cars but wouldn't buy a new Camaro or Mustang simply because there are so many running around.

A Z in my neighborhood is like spotting a big foot, I drive a nizmo and I haven't seen another one since I purchased it in nov, and I have only seen 1 other older base Z, but I kind of like my Z being a rarity it turns a lot of heads young and old, and I get more complements then my C6 vette and Bimmer M3 combined.

The Nissan 370Z Is a Classic-Car Bargain Masquerading as a Current Production Model

Here is an interesting take.... mentioned here it's in a unique segment. It will be discontinued one day and people will be like **** this is a car with very unique aspects. NA6 banger with 2 seats and having a drive full of character

This article has a lot of truth in it... we are so hot for a new Z but if it comes out auto-only with electric steering and hybrid power the enthusiast modder crowd will shed a small tear.

The don't even make a Brochure for 2017 370Z. Have to download and print. $50K car in Canada, and can't get a $1, professional brochure.

Oh well, can't drive the Brochure. LOL
