I will get the 370Z, probably not when it first comes out (unless the dealer can get what I asked for and the price I asked for). If you let the new model craze wear off and leave the cars sit on the lot a few months you should be able to get a good deal. I have no problem waiting a few months if I have to. It's your money; don't just give it away.

This is the classic prisoner's dilemma. In order for prices to stay at MSRP or avoid any markups, everyone needs to refrain from purchasing long enough for the dealers to lower the price. The problem is human beings act in their own self interest 99.9% of the time. Those with money and no hesitation will buy this car ASAP some even paying the $5K markups. The only thing that provides some restraint is the economy which means less people will invest in luxury goods like a 2 door sports car. So as people have mentioned already, within 6 months or so prices should be down.
