Have you seen the color combinations you can order a Juke in? Makes me jealous.

My experience yesterday supports your claim. Went to the Cleveland Auto Show expecting to see a Z, whether it be a Nismo or 370 sport tech.
They had Millionaire's Row, with Rolls Royce, Bentley, etc. and Maserati had representation with four cars. Multiple Mustangs, Challengers, Camaros, Evo, Toyobarus and a variety of BMWs. Alpha Romeo, Porsche...well you get my point.
Not one Z car. Not even a GTR. I asked the Nissan rep what they were thinking. Nissan's flagship sports car and its little brother don't have a place, but there are 3 Muranos, 3 Altimas, Rogues and every other model out the backside?
I definitely agree with you, advertising (or lack of) has some part in the Z's perception among owners and potential buyers.
