Bad sales new for z's

blackcherry20

Ithought it was good bang for the buck.
Gt-R was too expensive.
The mustang and ford reliability (for me) kicked it off my list although I really wanted a 302Boss...and there are sooooo many Mustangs around.
Corvette too expensive and "old" for me
and the Camaro was just plain to large. If I wanted a family sedan I would have bought a Maxima or an Accord.
THere really wasn't anything else I was interested in becuase I wanted a true sports car. One that looked like a sports car, not one that could just go fast. I wanted the exclusivity (is that a word?)of a two seater that was sexy.
I have a Z! and it turns heads even with Zero mods

I would be interested in seeing the GM/Ford/ sports car sales numbers. Have they gone down too?

If Honda and Toyota wanted to make a sport car it would blow Nissan away in quality,pricing, resale value.

Nissan is a cheap company, nobody really wants their overpriced cars only their cheap economy cars.

Don't have Camaro numbers, but they were doing much better than Ford last I checked.

TY!

I will tell you , I live in a very depresssed area of Ohio and there are sooooo many mustangs, all years, all versions....but mostly run down and not well taken care of and badly modded....embarasses me to think I almost bought one.

Same here in Iowa. Tons of rundown and riced-out mustangs around here. Lately I've seen more challengers and chargers pop up as well. You don't even get a second look if you drive one because they're so common. There are literally grandmas around here that drive them. To me it seems they're only popular because they're so much cheaper and easier to come by than the Z. Every once in a while I will see a new Mustang that looks nice, but IMO they are cheapened by the huge number of junky old ones on the road.

Oh man, the number of Chargers on the road is rivaling the number of Mustangs this spring. I'm sick of seeing those bloated beasts. But you're correct. Unless it's a GT500 or a very specially-kept vehicle, none of them get second looks. Maybe a "turn-down-the-music-and-listen-to-the-v8," but that's it. I still admire the Camaro design though.

The Z, though, is a constant head-turner. I just need to figure out what exhaust to put on to get the sound in line with the looks.

Selling more than ford still, but GM numbers dropped as well, Camaro was selling in the 6 digits for a while. Now the are in the 80,000 units annual range, give or take 5,000 units
