The point being that the residual value on my 2011 370Z was $23,000. The residual value on my 2014 is $22,500. The residual value on a 2017 is $15,945. It's a dying car line. They can't afford to upgrade it because it will be so expensive that no one will buy it. For now, they can afford to keep it in the catalogue, but sales are so increasingly pathetic that, in three years, Nissan is confident that the car will be worth less than 1/2 of its purchase price. To me, that signals that the end of the Z is near - likely within 3 years.
