So this may not be the case everywhere, but here in Northern VA, it seems like every other car I see is a BMW 3-series. I know its a good car and all, but I don't even get remotely excited anymore when I see one. I feel like even though I see a good number of Z's, they were purchased under a different mindset. Its like I am buying a BMW just to say "Hey look at me, I have a BMW". But with the Z, yeah you get the looks but its like "Hey I bought a sports car because I am an enthusiast". Granted there are those who bought the Z for some kind of wow factor from others, but I digress. Anybody else see this, especially other NoVa peeps?
