Bad sales new for z's

bdavis89 · 05-17-2013, 07:48 AM

I just don't get it...who thinks this looks good?

This outsells the Z because of the name and the price. End of story.

People will rice out anything, even Mustangs. We're not immune, either. Someone posted pics of his Z with a huge tramp stamp painted on the sides yesterday.

This is riddled with subjectivity and in some cases, Fanboyism. Actually, the G37x and GT-R are part-time AWD's that with some practice behind the wheel, you can actually drift them.

Nice interiors??? The FR-S/BRZ is a lot of things but interior?

I guess that's subjective to but if you're in a Z going to an FR-S?

You can't drift in an AWD car man lol. You can powerslide all you want in a awd, but don't call it drifting lol.

Not true. 370Z is great at making me happy. Tired of whiners

Off the top of my head, what the Z's main selling point could be: technology.

Put in heads-up display. Give it an awesome sound system with touch screen standard. Make the interior and exterior lighting more interesting. Hell, install front and rear video cameras that can be activated by steering wheel button to record some awesome driving. Press a button to share to Facebook via your bluetooth phone. Seriously. Nothing screams Japanese like some geeky technological stuff.

Surely this could be added for less cost than trying to make an engine that beats the Americans at their own game. Forget a 500hp twin turbo monster. The muscle cars will beat it the very next year; that's what they do. Give it a moderate HP bump to 360 hp, but make it techno COOL. A drivable iPad, that feel like Tron inside, bumping to dubstep.

Integrated GoPros with an instant social media share button. Just realized how awesome that would be.

if my state wont let me talk on a cell phone while driving, im gonna guess there may be some red tape involved with this much tech.

I have had a Gt-r (although it was an R-32), 911c2, Evo IX, e36m3 and an e46M3 and my 13 Z is my second favorite car out of those. It makes up everywhere where others were lacking, and where it lacks, it makes up in beauty! I would not trade it in for any other car out there. Well, none that I can afford anyways.....

You also must understand this at a macroeconomic level..People are starting to increase their consumption, but they are consuming more carefully. First thing that can go in life are luxuries, a car with two doors, two seats, RWD layout, low ride height etc. this all of a sudden doesn't make as much sense as it did 10 years ago. Now compared to other sportscars, say the FRS, its cheaper rides higher and has a back seat. Same can be said with the mustang and camaro g37 etc. Sure still a market for fast cars but ones for year round also daily use, comes to mind the charger now with AWD for example.

I don't know what is wrong with a lot of people. The Nissan 370z outperforms 90% of cars in it's class. Stock for stock it looks way sportier and sexier than the STI, EVO, GTI, Mustang, Honda s2k, Rx-8, Rx-7, frs, brz. Yeah FRS, BRZ, and Mustang GT also look good, but don't have that special aggressiveness that the 370z offers. Also it is faster in a straight line than aolmost every car in it's class stock for stock. It handles better than most cars besides the FRS and BRZ. Also with the Z you get a great interior which you can't get with the STI or EVO. I can keep going. Z is quality for the price it sells at. The reason other cars are cheaper is because they don't come well equipped from the factory. Z already has nice exterior, interior, and great performance. Even with a few aftermarket mods to produce some more power and better handling it is a track beast. It can also drift and AWD cars can't.

ubs234 · 05-16-2013, 06:39 PM

FRS and BRZ are sexy and have nice interiors, but lack so much power.
