Are Zs still selling poorly?

~950 last month..

Not good, about the same rate as last year, no?

Then again, I've only seen 4 370Zs since I bought in November. I like dat. :icon17:

Other than GT-R (I can't afford) the z is the only Nissan I'll ever buy. Their others cars are extremly ugly in my eyes
Its good to see they are back in the game though

I sort of see a positive from this. Means our cars are more rare and unique. :tup:

sounds good~ :D

New Maxima looks hella nice!

2nd. New Maxima > Anything sold by Toyota/Honda.

Rare and unique sounds good to me. I don't like the direction of the Maxima. Fwd and Cvt trans. in a "sports" sedan? No way!

I would buy Toyota if they come up with the FT-86, I would bet the paint is better than the Z is... :stirthepot:

:iagree:

I ilke the 07-08 TL-s better
New maxima look like crap. Again, it's all references

The new maxima's styling has grown on me a bit. Kinda hated it when it came out but I kinda like it now. I won't give up my 6-speed max for the CVT though. The maxima lost its sports sedan standing when they got ride of the manual six speed IMO. I don't agree with Nissan calling it "the four door sports car". I've driven the new one and it is a nice ride if you can deal with the trans.

The only reason Nissan sales are up is because everyone is afraid to buy Toyota.
