That's just the way Nissan does stuff, first 2 or 3 model years are always quirky.

yah, that's very true. my G's bose came with a cassette deck.. was the 2nd year model (2004, i wanted the brembo's)... cassette deck? lol my kids dont even know wat that is.

i did update the HU a while back.

Does that Pioneer HU have a cassette player in it? If not, it's not worth it.

it has an aux-in so i can hook up my cassette walkman, or my portable MD player... if i wanted.

that's what happens to most cars that use to offer manuals. Due to low sales # they are removed or become an "option" that's more expensive than the auto

Or what Audi did with the TT:
Base TT = auto w/ paddle shifters
TTS = paddle shifters
TTRS = 6mt manual

Nissan really should lower prices on the 370z. I know it would bring a lot more immature drivers, but with price hikes ever new model year and no performance updates, the 370Z has become almost obsolete in its market.

It still has a place. Trust me.

See I've found it to be pretty practical (but then again I don't have kids and have easy access to practical cars). It's fun, different, and there aren't too many of them around depending on where you live. Performance wise... yeah it's not the best at everything but then again that's not its purpose. It does a lot of things well, which I appreciate.

Ultimately the people that like it buy it and the people that don't... don't!

No doubt it's a very competitive market, though. I'm sure Nissan knows they have to make some adjustments to the way they do things with the Z35 to keep it competitive, but for me, the Z34 is giving me what I want.

We're falling right back into justification mode.

The ONLY Z forum where justification is needed for owning a Z.
