I rarely see them. I've only seen one yellow in my whole life in person. Usually when I try to wave or highbeam the few 370's I see, the other drivers look like I'm crazy. I'm going to stop that.

I live in California and i STILL dont see too many 370's... I bought mine in '09, i DO see more than i used too though. I think i figured out why though. I think its because the Z is a car that appeals to a certain type of person... If that person is a younger person, they will have to be doing pretty good to be able to afford the car AND the insurance.. and not have a small child.... its possible but IMHO, the Z wouldn't be a practical choice for that person.

Then you have the older person that knows and LOVES the Z's heritage. (like ME, lol) I'm 48 with NO kids in the house, been driving almost 30 years and can afford the insurance for a Sports Car, the car, a Mortage,yada, yada.

To my knowledge, the Z wasn't leased was it?... everyone I've discussed this with is purchasing their Z. THAT could be the key also.

I live in Philadelphia pa and I just drove to Alabama and I only seen a roadster and a silver 370 honestly I couldn't tell you the amount of other cars I've seen I wasn't really paying attention to them

I can go weeks without seeing another 370.

Montez · 05-01-2012, 01:14 PM

I see a few of them a day here when I 'm in town, I'm in Uptown Dallas.

You are right, whenever I'm home there on layover or go home for a few days I see quite a few of them. I'm in the Manhattan Beach and Newport Beach areas.

I have a couple clients out that way. Big money.

It's not rare...

I believe people are comparing it to other cars in the same price range/class. In two months I've seen 3.
