If the 370Z had sold like it was projected, you'd have probably seen a 2013 or 2014 performance bump, much like you saw on the 350Z.
It pretty much comes down to--if you want a company to make sporty cars, their sporty cars have to make money.

Yeah but you can't compare the business philosophies and product line-up of ford to nissan.
I think Japan, just got pissed with american reviewers nitpicking and they let the car be.
Nissan mistakes were not fixing the first 5 issues that arose immediately. And the american media GROSSLY exaggerated the Z flaws while over-glorifying american sports entries. People in the country believe what they hear from a so-called respected source. they don't take the pepsi-challenge like they should...
While there is high logic and reasonability to your analysis. You're negating way more factors that I think played a bigger role. Nissan sells 250 Gt-R's a month, but they poor millions in that car. There's a bigger reason than NOT being like ford.
