As was said by another poster, some manufacturer's will take a hit on low production cars as the cars provide image. The image helps sells their other cars such as the Maxima commercial in which the male has kids and pulls a Maxima out of the hatch of a 370Z. You can look at Vipers, ZR1, Ford GT's and such for the same reason. Now an argument can be made that Nissan now has the GTR, so they don't need the 370Z for this anymore. I argue that the Z has the heritage that the GTR doesn't have, so I would guess safe for the time being.
