Well I was always told it had something to do with taxes. If you check the non-VAT price of the 370z over here in Europe, it's basically the same price as they get in the US.

Over in Belgium it's more like 45k VAT for one with full options (orange leather, 19" + GPS, etc.), without VAT I think it's more like 35-37k.

But a porsche cayman for example would cost me $85 000 so its not cheap with cars in Sweden.

Absolutely do not get a yellow 370Z. I want to be among the few who chose this car with this color.

You're lucky they stopped making the yellows! Great color and even better looking in person!

The only complaint I have about mine is the incessant paint chips, the car is amazing in every other facet.

I love the Z!!!!!!!!! i'm so happy in every aspect except one...

it gets way too much attention, when I'm driving or standing next to the car, that's a good thing. When I street park it to go somewhere, especially in Manhattan, I feel the worst anxiety of my life. I think it's bad for my health.

Too pricey...? It is the best sports car on the road at its current price point. The only issue I have is the jackasses who constantly want to one-up me on the road...like they are pissed because they are not driving my car. I constantly get race challenges from drivers of Honda Accords, Toyota Priuses, a Volkswagen beetle, and even 4X4 F250 Pickups trying to burn the back of my neck with their fog lights. I usually don't pay much heed to them, except some are reckless and dangerous just to try to get a rise out of me...

Was about to order a BMW 335is for $55k. I realized buying a Nismo for $38k makes me just as HAPPY! Easy on the wallet and don't need all the bells and whistles or the Prestige/Ego of owning a Beamer just yet..

I'm head over heals in-love with my Z..and yes..I only have the base model I've done a few small things to it, and it doesn't compare to any other car IMO. I'm just a big Z fan. I liked the Camaros at first but to me, the interior is cheesy. And the Mustang's are too played out to the American publicity. Point blank, the Z is better bang for the buck and plus you wont see them every 5-10 minutes on the road
