It's not like the car is a 458 Italia or anything but it made me realize how lucky I am.
I have had PLENTY of looks but I live in a very rural town that is not affluent by any means.
The other day I stopped at my local liquor store and this middle aged couple pulled up in a newer Malibu next to me and just stared at the car. The dude driving gets out of the car and he is at least 6'3" 230 and then his MILF of a wife walks by and is checking it out. I go inside shortly after and they both were very nice and complimented the car. The husband makes a remark about probably not being able to fit in it and I agreed with him!
I agree with some of the posts in this thread. In some areas it is almost embarrassing that people think the car is some high priced exotic.

I wouldn't say embarrassing because it's a Nissan, just shows how Nissan continues to improve on an iconic sports car which most car manufacturers lose their way in their product line while it's in production. When people stop looking at cars for the price tag and name (let's not forget Z's have never been the cheapest sports car available) , they will truly see the point Nissan has been making since the Z and the GT-R were created, which is improve on every aspect of the car, not just keeping up with inflation and adding a nice parachute size premium on each unit you sell (which Nissan has done brilliantly with the Z and the GT-R, the packages available for the price can't be beat, and reliability you can count on). To each his own though. This is all coming from a guy whose been a fan of Nissan since i was 7, I like other supercar and sports car companies too, just don't understand how they can be so much higher for not much if any more performance and reliability (reliabilty in itself in the sports car and supercar market can't even come close to Nissan)? A perfect balanced package is what i'm looking for when purchasing a supercar or sports car, and one that's mod friendly for the light one's i want to do.
