Why dont you see many 370z's on the road on your commute?

They are just popular. If you see a 350 heading the other way down the highway you only have to wait about 30 seconds before you see another one.

lol thats sad too but I was referring to the 4+ mustangs. they are popular here too. i think I've seen more newer mustangs than 370s.

One of the reasons I was attracted to the 370Z was that I didn't want to drive something that everyone else seems to have, like a Camaro, Mustang, or Challenger. I can drive anywhere here in the Saint Louis area and see those cars numerous times, while on the other hand I very rarely see another 370Z on the road. I was up in Iowa at Camp Dodge for 10 days last month and didn't see one single 370Z or 350Z on the road in that entire state the whole time.

I was also wanting to stay away from those cars due to them (in my eyes) being so popular with the backwards ball cap wearing type of guys.

To me, the 370Z seems a more classy car, more appropriate for someone my age (40's), and it is an absolute blast drive!

Ive only seen 4 in the last 5 months here in the Indianapolis area.

Still pretty rare out here. Heck, I haven't seen my own for almost a week.

I was surprised at how few I see on the road in Socal. I know they are out there, but I rarely ever see them in OC which I found strange considering the massive number of them for sale at local dealers.

The fact that this car has a much more mature and refined character has translated to the type of enthusiast that would buy this car; one thing I loved about my Saab is that I would never see one even remotely close to being as clean done up as mine which is something I took into consideration before deciding on a 370Z.

There are a billion freaking Mustangs, Camaros, Porsches, 335i, and 350Zs around though.

After driving an NSX for 10 years, I really don't like to see myself coming. And before that I had an MR-2 SC, which is pretty rare around here as well.

I'm glad the 370Z is still a fairly unusual sight - I think I've seen two roadsters since I started thinking about getting one in the last month, both black (maybe the same?) and a black/persimmon coupe, which I think is the one I bought later.

I live in Hawaii and just bought my 370z touring/sport. I upgraded from my '05 350z. I'm in love!

I would have to agree that the Camaros are all over the place (probably transformer fanatics . I think there are 2 other 370zs that I've seen tooling around in my neighborhood, and that's it - which is fine w/me!

I get angry when I see too many, so I kinda like it the way it is. Although here in Los Angeles, I see more and more every week. 90% have been female.

wolf370z

In the time span of a year I have seen LITERALLY MAYBE 7 370z's. POSSIBLY. In fact I think it's closer to 5. Oh and that's not just my area I went to the Miami area in May and I saw one 370z.

I really like having the "exclusivity" of the 370z because there is maybe 2 more in my area and they're all stockers and not the same color as mine. It's nice having a car that isn't a part of the growing population of 42,012,381,405 mustangs. In all seriousness I see AT LEAST 20-30 mustangs on my normal commute. It's not scary it's pathetic.

In over a year I have only seen 1 370 nismo and 1 370 on my way to work (23 miles each way). 350's are everywhere, but for whatever reason you never see 370's around here. Even though I live in a small city, the roads are absolutely packed during business hours, and tons of out of town beach traffic so don't start with the middle of nowhere comments lol.

Slade

I live in a town of about 60,000 and there are three people that I know of that have 370Zs (one of them is my cousin), I'm the only one with a Monterey Blue Z.

I see waaaay more Camaros and Mustangs. It's odd that I've only seen a few of the new Challengers, new Vettes are more common.

The 370z is one of those cars that you'll notice if one rolls up next to you and I can count on one hand the times that I've seen one in the Golden Triangle area of Texas, and one is a forum member here. I prefer that it stays that way, I didn't want to drive something that you'll see all over the road.

I hope it will keep this way. Make my car looks special

How does that bode for Nissan continuing to make a sports car though? Yah its rare and cool but thats why Honda killed basically all of its sports car and now is said to be killing the Si Civic as of next year. Sales are low and Honda ran at the first signs of trouble and look how boring they are now! lol Slippery slope to be on when it comes to being cool but not just another Stang rolling down the road. Hope sales are strong enough across the board to keep up sports cars in general and they all dont run like little Honda girls when they see sales are slumping!

I've only seen two 370's in the past month here in OKC. I see a lot of 350's on the way to work, but never any 370's. I'm ok with that.

Chuckster

Albuquerque has over half a million and I hardy ever see 370s. I'm sure a huge reason you see camaros and mustangs everywhere is that a lot of people want a sporty car but you really have to be in the right situation to be able to own a car with no backseat. The camaros and mustangs are the family car for a lot of people, and they just don't have the option to get a Z. I bought my Z for fun and I have an SUV and an old nissan frontier to drive when I need something else.
