Please don't post while high or drunk. Thank you.

I don't think getting a second beater like an altima is worth it. You have the cost of the car that's several thousand already, plus insurance, plus the gas for it too. Unless you can get a dirt cheap car with 30-35mpg, then sure it'll balance out eventually.

And the 370z says rawrrrr

:icon18::tup:

The service tech at my Nissan dealership refered to my car as a 350z, how sad is that? :facepalm:

Somehow I am reminded of Top Gear's test of the BMW versus the Prius - if you want good gas mileage, get a powerful car and just drive it like it is a Prius.

OTOH, if you try to drive your low power car like a 370Z, you won't be saving much gas :)

As for the snowbelt, I bet you knew where you lived before you bought a 370Z, so don't blame us :D (And I am switching back to the RE050's this week as the last <32 night should be Wednesday.)

I think we are lucky the 370Z just has to pay for the incremental cost since so many parts are shared with the 370Z and other cars, and I hope that means the group will continue.

Of course, with the Nismo and IPL models being too close to badge engineering, I don't think that helps Nissan's overall cause like AMG or M models do.

I don't know the stats compared to 350z sales or what Nissan foretasted sales were for 2009/2010 model.

HOWEVER there is one thing I know for sure

If Nissan had spent a little more time on DESIGN (looks) of the 370z it would sell much better.

I repeat my comment to an earlier poster. Please, please, I think it is a mistake to post comments on this forum when drunk, high, tweaking, stoned or tripping. Thank you and just say no. It's one day at a time, brother.

The only sports car out there that is as nice or nicer in looks than the 370 is the camaro. The only appearance weakness the Z has is in the grille. That can easily be taken care of by removing the bottom lip and adding the appropriate chin spoiler. :)

In the end looks are subjective.

You are right, it is not hyper right now. But within the next couple decades, the US won't even be able to afford to pay interest on its loans. Meanwhile, the US continues to print money to pay off its own debt, and can do so because the US dollar is the main currency being traded and bought. Since the US government is the largest holder of its own debt and is printing money to pay itself back, that sounds like a recipe for rapid inflation to me.

we're all screwed!!!!!

You got to admit they did a piss poor job by selecting a design from a local homeboy out of Surrey BC.

Q: What car manufacturer runs a "contest" for next car design?
A: The one that has no money or imagination, NISSAN

Lol, after I posted earlier I went to lunch and stopped for gas. I had a guy ask me how I like my "350" and he is thinking about getting one, he was in a 98-02 Z28..........

PWNED himself without even knowing

Don't like how it looks don't buy it. And I'm pretty sure the guy who designed it wasn't a gangsta off the street but a Nissan Designer.

Yeah it was. He had on a hooker-skin suit. Name was Leroy Nissan.
