How Many Years Will the 370 Be Made Before Being Replaced?

I had an RX-8 before I bought my Z. Really useful back seats, hard to believe. But I'm so happy not to have them in my Z. No more back seat drivers!!

I loved my RX-8 but had some serious issues with cold-starting in sub-zero weather. Nothing quite like the RX-8 on narrow winding roads. The Z feels like a beast in comparison. More like juggling a hammer. I sure do like the torque in the Z, but I do miss the wonderful light steering of my old RX-8. I do NOT miss the truly sucky gas mileage. Today I got 25mpg after a 3-hour drive averaging 75mph. Never saw more than 19mpg in the RX-8 and more usually it was 15mpg.

It was nice to have the RX-8 experience, but I'm currently having MUCH more fun with the Z. No regrets.

Going back to your original question, 5 years may be stretching it. I could see the Z hanging around long enough to get direct injection, maybe another displacement increase, and then gone... some hybrid thingy lurks in the future. Enjoy it while you can!
