I couldn't resist making a wisecrack about how we must've traveled into the future. They were like, what do you mean? So I said it must be 2010 already, seeing how the 370 had arrived.

I slay me.

I remember walking into my local Nissan dealer after January 2nd. They had a 370Z in their show room. As I'm checking out the z, one of the salesman approach me and started telling me about the Z (lol.. I know. I can probably teach this guy but I'm just listening like a noob). I asked him I would like the base with sports pack. He told me that I can't add sport pack to the Z unless I get Touring Model. I asked him, where he heard such thing? He told me that it's straight from Nissan USA. I left the floor laughing!

My salesman told me that if I rotate the tires they will last twice as long

He also told me the car comes with a full-size spare and isn't it nice that you get five of these nice wheels and tires.

Thanks

If you can wait until 2011, then there will probably be another vehicle that is better and newer at that time. You can wait forever waiting for the next upgrade. Don't wait while your life passes you by.

Or clean the paint with brake fluid for the extra shine.

What? You don't use brake fluid on your paint? Better than claybar!

Where did you read about direct injection? I've only heard about a hybrid version and the 40th anniversary edition.
Link please.
If your not in a hurry to get a car right now just wait for the direct injection version, if the rumors are true. Then when you get aftermarket parts for it you will have even more power

Dude this thread dates back from 2009

.

Since then we learned that the best car to buy is in fact the Miata with its über strong doors

Wait, what about the super-fast, F&F Civic or better yet, a supercharged Yaris!!!!

I was also told that the sports package is only available for the touring. It's embarrassing.

Just wait forever and compliment us all on our nice cars in the mean time.

Yes, you can just go out and buy yourself a new '10, and start enjoying it right now, or you can hold off just a couple of months.

Then you'll have two other good options. You can wait for the 2011, you'll pay a premium price, but get the latest and greatest, or you can wait for the '11's to hit the market and get a 2010 "left over" and probably get a real good deal because they want to move them out.

I am very happy with the 2010, and don't see how the 2011 can be much better. Maybe more power, maybe not, but if more power means that much to you, you can add it on yourself later. The savings by buying the '10 may be the deal breaker. You can't go wrong with the '10.
