I remember back when the 350Z came out seeing rows upon rows of them at the dealerships here in Atlanta. Now most dealerships have about four 2013's and won't order a 2014 until a 2013 sells. Times have certainly changed. I recently drove a 370Z with sport package. I can honestly say that I was extremely impressed. It's faster, handles better and is better balanced than the Hyundai Genesis that I was considering. Yes, the body style is looking dated, but the performance is certainly there. I think the biggest thing that the 370Z has going against it is the fact that it's a two seater. That culls out a majority of its potential market. Having a token back seat would go a long way towards opening up a larger market.
