I work on BMW's and like alot of what we produce but Ive owned a L30, B15, Z33, S13, S14 and now a Z34. I like Nissans and I wouldnt mind getting another 240 or older sentra(probably B13 or B14) as a daily so my Z can save her miles.

Hell yeah. Though I have owned other brands as well, I mainly owned NISSAN. I've owwned 98 240sx se,98 nissan altima SE 06 g35 coupe sport, 08 altima 3.5se,09 G37S coupe and now my 09 370z base sport. I'm hoping to pick up a new 11 juke or 2.5 altima to go with my Z.
My wife wants to throw in the new 11 focus or chevy cruze in the mix of choices. I'm still leaning toward Nissan but we'll see???
I test drove the new cruze ltz and focus titanium 5 door. And I have to admit they are better than any low 20's car nissan has in features. But nissan usually always wins in performance. Nissans are almost always extremely fun to drive with the exception of versa and sentra.

Anyway, of the two the focus performance was very sharp. The dct shifted nicely but was missing a little torque compared to nissan 4bangers and you shift the car with a little button switch on shifter. That made it corny. There is still just enough torque in the focus to get by in real life driving and its taut suspension makes it sporty and funI'm saving the juke test drive for last. I'm hoping my wife likes it due to her being used to nissan ergonomics... its her decision. As long as I have my Z its all good
The cruze was really nice on the interior. It's near luxurious and iit floated like a 70's caddy, yet handled like a modern sporty coupe. It was weird but cool mix. Lol. Torque was almost nowhere. Acceleration was subpar for its price range as a 4 banger and on par with a versa. the engine sounds were extremely smooth and refined. Its a very well engineered car but underpowered for dallas highways. Maybe in NYC where you are doing 35mph 85% of the time a cruze would work? Still my wifes decision.

I'd consider myself a Z Guy, but when it comes down to it I'll always be a Ford Guy

Yeah I am definitely a Z guy I guess. I have always liked them. I want a 240Z with a Chevy 350 crate motor.

I never set out to be brand loyal, but right out of high school I got a 280Z. Because I was hanging around Datsun shops I was offered cheap B210's as I delivered pizzas in them to get through college.

Years later I bought a 300ZXtt and drove that until the 370. Inadvertently I became a Datsun/Nissan guy, or is it simply the cost for a great car. The 300zx was $45,000 while the NSX was $90,000 back in 1995. Now the 370 competes with cars considerably more expensive all while delivering Jap dependability. It is a tough combination to beat.

If Nissan drops manual transmissions I will be disloyal for sure.

I have to disagree that the S2k was the first entertaining Honda

Not counting the NSX, the Prelude Si was a pretty cool car.

But for sure Toyota and Honda are boring today, and could use some excitement.

Defintily a Nissan guy with a Nissan fiance (soon to be wife)

Between the two of us:

1 1992 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo
1 1992 Nissan 300zx 2+2 (Her car)
1 1993 Nissan 300zx Non Turbo (part car - resto project)
1 1982 Datsun 720 4x4 (resto project)

Plus I have the JDM 300zx Nose emblem Tattoo'ed on my back.

....sooo yeah. Definitly hardcore Nissan fan. But I do love my '06 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins Diesel (only full size truck I will ever own. Not a big fan of the Titan)

Plus I work at Z1. You have to be hardcore Nissan fan to work here!

Trucks wise, I'm a Dodge man. Cars, was a Pontiac man until it took a DUMP. I was actually in the process of getting a G8GT... (The actual paperwork process) when Pontiac went Dump, and the financing went, got , absolutelly RETARDED. The salesman was like "we can't work this". I was like..."Well, Bye! They had a Nissan Stealership right next to'em. He goe's "you like ta go fast huh, wanna try a Z". I was offended that he though that I would even be interested in anything but American Muscle(yea,I know the G8 is Austrilan, but they believe in V8's just like americans do Down Under). Being the Tall Cool One, that I am, I responded "sure, why not"... AND THE REST IS HISTORY. This car was Sold on the first corner I took, I did'nt even realize it was a V6, it sounded odd, but pissed off...and PULLIN!!! I was a total virgin to Imports... Now, I'm a WHORE!!!!!

I like to look at all makes of cars for the price range that I'm looking at. I go with the one that is overall best for me in that price range. Last year, it was a 2010 Maxima and this year it was a 2009 370Z. I'm not exactly Nissan loyal (although I have owned only Nissans), but they are usually the best option IMO. If my price range had been $10k higher for my current car, I would have been in a used Cayman for sure. For my next car I'm planning to stick with Nissan with a GT-R, but a used Gallardo LP 560 would also be tempting 5 years down the road.

You can get an 04 Gallardo (7 yrs old) right now for around the same as a new GT-R, so I figure by 2016 the 09 LP 560 should be around the same price. I haz big dreamz and hopefully will have big paycheckz soon too
