i didnt know chevy also has that stupid mazda loyalty thing going on. that is so stupid imho. if a new buyer is willing to change brands, they should honor the same 'family' loyalty discounts. who the f- is loyal to some japanese hyundai (mazda) anyway?

btw, nice 350 you had, and truck and bimmer too. that 350 looks good.
im thinking the same bro!!!! its stupid!!!

Never buy the first year production car. Also gotta wait until all the hype goes away to get a good deal. By then they should have a wide body version!

Wow... Late to the party... I just came from nissans website. They went back to 2009 pricing.. I figured Nissan would do something like this soon. I discouraged many from buying a 13 based on this. Actually I discouraged buying a 13 or 14. I expected this to happen next year. But I was on the right track. I knew with the competition present it was nissans best play. And with the sentra pathfinder and altima being so popular, they can afford to drop Z pricing.

Nissan is back in the best bang for buck segment. Under 30k gets you a 13 second car. Upper 30's segment will get you a loaded ride. Nissan's pricing is where it should ave been all along and I'm glad they finally came to their senses.

I'll die laughing if 2015 brings back the fangs right before the 2016 z35 release. Lol.

That's crazy!!! I would be mad as hell if I just bought a 370Z and find out they lower the prices.

I really love the Nismo 370Z and would have love to buy one, but the Corvette is way nicer!!! I wonder what the 2015 new Z is going to bring.

I'm not mad. My car. Totalled out in retail price at 37k. I paid 34k. I paid 2009 prices in 2011. And I only have a few more months of payments.

I've heard rumors of Nissan dropping to a 280 instead of the 380, WTF is that true? What they need to do is make the 370 platform tt from factory like the GTR. GTR will still have the advantage being AWD and 3.8L, IMO.

After 2 weeks of wait she is finally here!!!

Already blacked out all the lights with 13 piece blackout kit from GSCreations (GScreationsllc.com : Custom GM C5 C6 Corvette Sports Cars & Sport Bike LED Accessories).

Changed the lug nuts with black aluminum lugnuts and a few other things.
She needs tinted windows...coming soon!!!
