I sure hope so. Because I'm going to order a 2010 Monterey Blue 370Z Base with Sport Package and I hope, like most second year models after a new model comes out, has all the bugs fixed!
Its funny how one (or a few) person has an issue with something and it becomes a "bug". Rotors warping? I ran my car HARD at the track and we cooked our dinner from the radiant heat from the rotors and they are just fine. Loud noise at high speed - oh yea from my exhaust. Its a sports car for crying out loud. Some have had whining issues (take that as you will) at idle, etc but it seems to be a very very small number. The only issues I've had is a flaw in the cap on the steering wheel - Nissan just called and said the whole air bag assembly was in - I guess the cap is part of the whole air bag so they are going to replace it because of a very minor molding flaw that I didn't notice the first month I had the car. The other issue was the rear hatch opening - some people have it were you need to push the button twice to get the hatch to pop. Fix it with a few pennies or I had Nissan order in the longer springs as a warranty fix.

The main thing to note here is that there are NO TSBs for this car yet. To me that's saying a lot for a first year car! I think computer design, etc helps work a LOT of the bugs out before the car is even mocked up.

The only advantage you are going to see is the heated side mirrors...
