While I love my Z a lot, I have to agree that I prefer a separate enclosed trunk. I initially was deciding between an E39 M5, the Z, and an STi but the Z was the most reliable, more driver focused, not as common, and most importantly was more of a driver's car.

Its called a Z Roadster :D

The G is a large car...quite heavy too, pushing 4100 lbs. Have you driven one? I can't stand the pork myself. I wish the ZR was on a diet...more in the range of Corvette weight, but I live with it.

It amuses me how the industry has gone to 'it handles very well despite its weight' when referring to the over 4K club of sedans and such when in reality, all of these cars are over weight and would be more fun sub 3500 lbs.

I like how this thread has turned into "why do we think people have moved to other cars"

I'm thinking of upgrading to a Shelby for multiple reasons

1. The lack of back seats is more of a hassle than I originally thought it would be
2. Oil temps here in El Paso
3. Fear of looking at the car wrong and voiding the warranty
4. Aftermarket support
5. Lag at launch
6. Nail polish for paint
7. To name a few

:rofl2:

I'm thinkin' Lotus (that's sort of on topic, right?!?)

what about the 370z?

Nuthin like the hater threads

Hater thread?

Nobody is hating. Just expressing their feelings.

I love my Z and plan to keep it a long time. But other people have other goals for car ownership, and there's nothing wrong in asking them why.

I had so many cars and tried my best to keep them but always something happens that I end up selling it and getting another car.

So I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my current Z for different reason like an overseas job, etc. I might upgrade to a different or next year model which has not change much including the Nismo, or wait for the next model Z. However I wil not be getting a domestic car! ;)

I might even get an used GT-R, a new FT-86 Turbo or a new RX if my dreams ever come thru...but would like to stick with a Z.

I loved my Z but had to give it up because I got laid off, then a month later my wife decided she wanted a divorce, so I just couldn't afford it anymore. I was living in Georgia and eventually moved up to Canada to find work (you know the U.S. economy is seriously f*cked up when . . .). Once I got back on my feet, I decided to replace my Z with an STi due to the road conditions during winter here. I'd like to one day go back to having a two-seater sports car like the Z and just drive it during the snow-free months while keeping my STi as a winter beater. But I'm not quite there yet.

Yeah... there's not a lot of us original 2009 owners left.

Sure there are. No sense in getting down about it. Some people move on. Others enjoy the car.
