Im looking into purchasing a nissan 370z soon, the thing im wondering is should i wait for the 2012 or buy one now.

I am in no way a car enthusiast or racer so if the 2012 and 2011 have fairly little difference, like HP and design, ill jsut buy the 2011 rather then wait.

This car will be used for fun, showing off , daily driving (maybe), and the casual race with friends but not hardcore like fast and furious.

If you can, I would probably wait until more info comes out about the 2012 models and then make a decision. Otherwise, if you find what you like, get a 2011. I'm sure you'll be happy either way.

You said you are looking at purchasing a new Z soon. The 2012 won't be out for quite some time - 6+ months.

Yeah, but if they fixed the issue with fuel starvation, that's most likely worth the 6 month wait.

Pretty sad that even if I pull little G's with quarter tank of gas that I would get fuel starvation. I mean, it's still a quarter tank of gas. If this was a case, might as well put a 14 gallon gas tank instead of a stupidly large 19 gallon gas tank.

Well, whether the model year improvements are worth it or not, I don't think anyone has details on the 2012 to provide yet.

Buy the '11. You just know there'll be a price increase next year.

Unfortunately due to rising oil prices and diminishing value of our almighty dollar.

I would wait. I heard from my friends cousins personal trainers wife that she went to a Nissan dealer and the janitor there told her the 2012 is going to have unicorn blood injected stright into the engine for an increase of 98hp and cleaner emissions.

wouldn't prices of the Z go down since gas prices are high and the Z don't exactly get the best MPG?

No. The rise in oil makes it more expensive to build and ship the Z, which is still manufactured overseas.

I heard there will be a diesel next year and a turbo diesel the following year.

Oh man, turbos are so sexy... But diesel is not. I guess they cancel each other out.

What do you mean by fuel starvation? is it because of the low MPG for 370z?
