They sold more 350zs in the first year (36,000+) than they've sold 370zs since 2009. The 2013 models haven't been moving at all. They may not even break 7000 units in the US when it's said and done.
2009 the USA was knee deep in the recession and we're not out of it yet.

The Z wasn't the only model impacted, either. The Corvette and Miata, for example, both took hits.

In times of recession, the luxury of performance in a car isn't as attractive as one that is cheap to operate and dependable, drivable in snow and capable of seating four adults.

I can remember when the 350Z first debuted seeing them come off the truck being delivered here in Houston. Also, i'm sure you'll remember from around 2003-2007 there were 2 cars you seen on every corner the 350Z and the Porsche Boxster, but times have changed and there's no money to borrow from HELOC's (Home Equity Line of Credit) , inflation, dismal job market, etc. If the funds were available, we would see more 370Z's and Porsche Cayman R & S models on the road, Boxsters too.
