What was your second choice?

I was thinking of getting the new Acura TL. I didn't even know of the 370Z until someone with a brand new one drove past me. Lets just say I'm glad I didn't buy the TL.

We got both a Z and an 09 Acura TL.

They changed that model a LOT since the 3G (3rd generation). Now, it's a highway cruiser. You could do the 7 hours up to Montreal, no problem, whereas the Z might make you a little stiff after the first 2-3 hours.

The TL with tech came in at $34,000 even, and the VPP price on the 7AT (touring) with some rugs, etc. came in at $34,014. They were desperate to reduce inventory at this particular Acura dealer.

You might ask -- for the same price, which is a better buy? I couldn't answer that. The TL is for a different purpose. The Z's limitations are strictly caused by its carrying capacity, and you KNEW that before you bought it, so there.

(Not having a back seat or a big trunk can also be an advantage.)

2nd choice? there are cars out there besides Nissan Z's?

In reading this thread I guess I am a little different in that I was not looking to buy a new car, i was just minding my own business watching college football bowl games when Nissan decided to buy a 30 second slot in every commercial break. they played that commercial 50 times it seemed.

football -- 370Z commercial --- football --- 370z commercial ---football -- 370Z commercial ---etc, etc, etc

it worked, I went out and traded the 05 350Z in for a 370Z the next week and haven't regretted it a bit since. This is one time I can say that advertising worked!
