Throw in inflation into the mix and suddenly a splurge on a $40k sports car isn't as appealing. I think that's one of the reasons companies like Hyundai (Genesis Coupe), Toyota/Subaru (FT-86/BRZ) are targeting the sub $30k sporty coupe market. Those that can still afford to splurge will likely venture upmarket, while those who could barely afford the 370Z will likely look towards something more affordable. I think $30K-50k sports car segment is gonna thin out even more if the economic slump continues. Overall though, I think all affordable sports cars are in trouble in the short term. Power specs appeal to the new car buyers in this segment, and with the Mustang and Camaro getting bumps in that department, the Z is gonna be less appealing. It's all about ego's and image when it come to sports cars after all.
Absolutely true. We could go on and on about this, especially how "core inflation" is a joke.

The Z being so limited is a very very good thing for the owners. Nissan builds what's ordered, be it by the customer or dealership. The 370Z has the 2nd best resale value for a sports coupe, behind the 335i and ahead of the Audi A5/S5. Not even the G37 can make that claim.

Nissan truly got it right with the 370Z in more ways than one. Owners can look forward to keeping their cars for a long time and still getting a lot of money back for them if they decide to sell.
