i expected to see more quantity for June but oh well. i only see a 370Z once a month or less in my area so it's great. :p

yeah i only see 2 or 3 a month as well...and thats counting mine..haha

yep, it's great that it's a 2 seater. bascially a useless car for most normal folks. the way it should be. :D

Car sales are going to get worse and stay that way. I do not think we appreciate how significant the credit boom of the 90's was in terms of making us all think we are much wealthier than we actually are, which led to rediculous and unsustainable spending habits. Many producers in our economy grew in the same bubble fashion to meet consumer demand, and we are now seeing a popping of that bubble. This bubble-bust cycle equates to jobs also, a lot of them high paying jobs - not least of which young real estate agents who made money like mad for a few years and spent it just as fast, thinking it would last forever. Overall, the economy will get a bit worse, then improve at more historical rates (averaged over 1945-2010), but even then we are unlikely to see the same consumer spending - s.a. new cars - that we got used to in the 90s. People are realizing they have to save money again, after the national per capita savings rate has been negative for years. Personally, I save 15% of my pre-tax income, and that's one of the reasons I could not afford a Z until I was 40 years old. It blows my mind to think 20 year olds are buying $40k cars....of course many of these purchases are subsidized by rich baby boomer parents, which was very common the 80s-2006 (my dad gave me $5k for my first car in 1994, and the Z is only my 3rd car!). The baby boomers, however, have recently found their wealth shrink drastically too, the money trees are all wilting. We'll see how it goes...hope for the best.

Wealth, sh*t, I just went speachless! Excellent post!

April ------ 952............1,561
May--------1,217.........1,278
June---------892............924
July----------976............890

I'm glad I don't see many 370Z (maybe one or two) or 350Z in my town - I don't like to see myself coming :) Also explains why a particular model is hard to find new or used.

If you want exclusivity, get an older NSX - 8101 sold in the US total. The only time I see another one is when VIR is having an event or I go to a meet.

Still looks on track to it my prediction a few months ago ;)

I am one of those 823 Zs sold in August. :driving:

Mine was one sold in Feb 2009 :)

Any possibility of a breakdown by color, model, transmission?

Dwindling sales number probably reflects the stiff competition in this segment. The new 2011 Mustang 5.0 is just too good for the price and the volume at which it is being manufactured at is going to give Nissan major problems with the sales of their 370z.

Kind of, sort of. A father at my wifes work, his son wanted a 370Z! But when dad, found out how much the head lights were to replace, said no way! So he bought his son a new Mustang!

Sales seem similar to 2009, ignoring new model bump, may be too early for 2011 Mustang to have much impact yet.

Not sure they compete in the same segment either.

how much? and why is daddy buying his kid high powered sports cars?
