When the 350Z came out, what was the domestic competition like? Mustangs were a joke, the Camaro died, and the Vette was thousands of dollars more expensive. Plus, Hyundai's offerings were crap, and the S2000 was its main competitor.
Now, the Mustang, Camaro, Genesis Coupe, Challenger... These and a few others make up a more competitive segment. Plus hot hatches are hotter, with the MS3, and the AWD performance cars are much sportier (WRX, Evo).
Also realize that the V6 Camaros and Stangs are slugs, but they sell in much higher volumes than their V8 counterparts.
