Here you go. I just came back from Costco and bought way too much. Don't go using it all at once. It's all in caps though

My post from before:

Quote:

Whatever they manufacture. Nissan doesn't produce as many 370Zs intentionally now. Their sales goals are low by default, unlike the 350Z which was highly incentivized and also was a car that returned after a very long 6 year hiatus.

The 370Z simply has different goals set by Nissan. It is a quasi-halo car for the brand now. But it is so inexpensive to manufacture simply due to the amount of parts it shares with the Infinitis and various other Nissans (from the transmission, engine, mounts, suspension components, battery, steering, pumps, interior pieces, headlight bulb and ballast, radio, navigation, user interface, brakes, this list can go on for a while).

Also its lack of practicality hurts it against the Mustang and Camaro, which has always been the case historically - starting from the late 70s. But a lot of it comes down to the fact that Nissan simply makes fewer of them intentionally, as well. The market was saturated with 350Zs, and that really, really destroyed the car's resale value and began to slightly hurt its image.

I know there is always a lot of talk about the "next generation" Z, but with sales numbers like that you have to wonder if Nissan can make the numbers work, and if the Z brand is worth it to them to keep going in its current state. I tend to think if they do keep the Z they will try to reinvent it as an eco-friendly sports car... an electric or hybrid sports car that everyone can afford.

In any case the 370 will definitely go down as one of those rare cars. 350s are all over the place because they managed to sell a bunch of them each year from '03-'08 (or '09 for the roadster), but the 370 will never really saturate the road like the 350 did.

Wow... like I said in the other thread. Say goodbye to the Z. If there is another genration of them? It will be a serious poser car or a electric sports car. The Z will be going down as the last japanese legend.

The hyundai genesis coupe will be the formidable sports car and scion will be its main competitor. As other posers embellish in wanting a rare sports car to have bragging rights don't even understand the impact this will have on JDM motorsports and the overall quality expectations of the cars coming over the next 10 to 15 years. Mustang and camaro will most likely be the only affordable options while korea and Scion go from so called sub standard rice machines to asian import gods.

The only competitive Z's will be the strong few of us that is determined to go FI and keep the track heritage alive on the Z. Its downhill from here. The fwd regal gs will be considered a real sports car. The sonata and veloster will be considered high performance vehicles.
The corvette will get realer and so will the price. As well as mustang and camaro. When the Z finally comes out again it will be @ current GT-R prices and the GT-R will start @ 150k.

RIP affordable fun to drive powerful sports cars. Its 96 all over again. But this time we have hybrids to make sure there's no resurgence of the affordable sports car.

To those that wanted exclusivity. Your dreams are about to come true. Enjoy the repurcussions.

Some people are so afraid cars will be slower with a "hybrid" moniker its not even funny. Progress is a good thing and so is change. We will still have sports cars 20 years from now, it will just be different. Heck, if you look back 50 years ago, do you honestly think they would have believed 6 or 4 cylinder engines make the power they do in modern engines today. Compare a first gen 240 to the 370 and the differences are astonishing to say the least. It's kind of like saying a Porche GT3 R Hybrid is no longer a sports car or a modern F1 car no longer a race car because it uses some other source of energy.

long term, electricity in cars is a good thing (especially because the move to more widely used supercaps is going to make me filthy rich). Short term, it sucks. Companies are half-assing designs and they sell because they are "eco friendly"
