Actually I saw last week, salees have increased. SUV and large veehicle drivers are trading for economical gas savers. The Chevy cruze has been the #1 seller for 2 months. Hybrid sales have also doubled. If you can imagine trucks are being highly discounted due to lack of sales.. Its 2008 all over again. This time its permenent.

It looks like sales go up and down. There's no particular rhythm or rhyme so I don't understand why you guys are getting your panties in a bunch?

They are going down each month year over year. As far as within each year, sales are highest from early spring until mid summer. Then sales die off for the fall and winter as they should for a sports car.

I'm still hoping there will be a next gen Z, but I'm not too confident.

80K Camaros and 74K Mustangs were sold just in 2010.

Only 10k 370Zs were sold in 2010. LOL

You know, why is that? I don't understand how the muscle cars are still selling at such a high ratio compared to the Z's.

Bigger for the fatter American mass market, much more mass produced, cheaper sub-$25K entry models, 4-seats, trunk space, etc. They're a whole lot more practical cars. Where as Zs are purposeful vehicles - they're meant to be quick, agile, beautiful, and borderline exotic/somewhat exclusive alternatives to Porsches. Practicality is not a forte of our cars, and I'm happy - it makes for a much more focused car.

Since day 1 the Z always had a bone to pick with vehicles way out of its class - it was faster than some Ferraris and Porsches back in the day, for a fraction of the price.

In the Kansas City area there were not any Z's available and I could only find 3 used ones. I'm also slowing the numbers down by buying used instead of new. A two seat sports car tends to get less miles put on it which means you can find a decent amount of low mileage excellent used versions. The car hasn't changed much and a lot of used 09's are showing up. The muscle cars have 4 seats thus can be used for family driving if needed, so more miles generally.

Not sure why that means a vehicle cant survive. Nissan builds as many as they know will sell. Theyll end up making money on every car sold because they can guarantee the car will end up in someones hand shortly after its build.
