Default Didn't realize how pricey the Z can be in other countries

So I was in Ireland last week on a buisness trip. Beautiful country. I noticed everyone seemed to be driving tiny cars or midsize ones with small diesel engines. So out of curiosity, I checked the price of a 370Z since I hadn't seen a single one out there (or any sports car for that matter).

The MSRP on a 370Z with A/T and Navigation was over 62000 Euro!!! That's about $90,000!!! Freakin nuts! As much as I loved it there, this scared hell out of me. The thought of driving a diesel for the rest of my life is heartbreaking.

$57,000 USD in Panama

And Minimum wage is $1.8 per hour.

Only in the US the Z is considered an "affordable sports car"

I paid $65K Australian for mine and at 1.07:1 exchange rate that was US$69.5K

I know of an individual in Oz who has purchased a NISMO in CA and a front cut JDM from Japan to turn into a deidcated RHD race car. With the AU$ t US$ s favourable, he has a landed a car at 55% of AUstralian sticker price. It is to be a dedicated race car, so he didn;t "have" to purchase the front clip, but having done so, he has all the bits required to make it RHD (as well as spare engine and g/box for instance).

Gas here is A$1.55 per litre, not as expensive as elsewhere but still more expensive than the US.

I agree, only in he US is a 370Z cnsidered affordable .. here it is a premium vehicle, marketed by Nissan as the "cheaper halo" model (GTR being the ultimate halo).
