Production numbers overall have been dropping for the Z since 2003. Oh yea I'm sure Nissan would love to sell 25k to 30k units a year, which by the way they haven't even produced more than 25k units since 2005. I'm talking US sales production btw.

What they could maybe do is spend a little more on Z advertising. I barely see any commercials at all.
350Z U.S. Sales, copied from Wikipedia. I'm not claiming these numbers as the gospel, just a baseline
Year U.S. Sales
2002 13,253
2003 36,728
2004 30,690
2005 27,278
2006 24,635
2007 18,957
2008 10,337

True on the advertising. Aside from the one for the Maxima, I haven't seen anything even showing the Z. Even a few months ago, with the big ad campaign for various sales they had, they didn't even show a Z amongst the other offerings
