Glad To See The Z Will Stay A Unique Car In Canada!

Dizzy · 09-05-2011, 03:22 PM

Coming in at # 8 on the worst sales by volume in Canada for the first half of 2011!

The 370Z

All sorts of subjective reason around that:

- maybe lower supply due to Japan disasters
- lower market to begin with for a car like the Z
- lower supply to Canada

Whatever it is, glad to see it isn't going to become a 3 series Bmer with everyone and there brother driving it! I still like the fact I don't see many and my car is unique.

The same could be said about base camaro's and mustangs, as the 3 series BMW IMO........

Da.Menace · 09-05-2011, 08:30 PM

Glad to know that this is the case... but tbh, I see more and more Z on the street this year, and hopefully it doesn't turn into another STI-like popularity.

As I understand it most 370z's destined for north America were casualties of the tsunami.

Agreed!

Hate when I am driving and see another 370z on the road.
Of course I don't mean you guys

It happens so rarely for me that I love to see another 370Z on the road. In July I did a road trip from Calgary to California and back and only saw 3 other 370Zs (2 of those in Huntington Beach) over 6,000 km, not counting dealerships. I saw about 300 mustangs, mostly driven by 50+ year old women.

There are 33 different ways to "do" a Mustang. (And one on every street.)

Just did a road trip Winnipeg - Saskatoon - Calgary and back and did not see another one. I get as many if not more positive commenets on the 370z than I did on the Porsche.

LMBmikeZ · 09-17-2011, 10:08 AM

I also find now that this is the 3rd year people are seeing 370s I get a lot more questions about it because people know its a different car now. I am still getting just as many looks and attempted races from civic/srt4 clowns though lol!

A lit of people the first year said "they thought it was just a souped up 350...."

TheGreatOne · 09-19-2011, 04:19 PM

Ha, noticed the GTR is on there too

I'm also happy with the low sales, people think they are hard to get lol. I guess its one of the good things about buying a car thats not "practical" for everyday.

Seeing another one on the street is still a big deal lol.

6MT · 09-19-2011, 06:25 PM

Cameros are almost as bad as the Mustangs.

LMBmikeZ · 09-19-2011, 07:27 PM

Think about this... my wife builds the Camaro...

LMBmikeZ · 09-20-2011, 06:00 AM

So what am I thinking about?

All I am thinking is, why didn't he buy with his wife's discounts then

????? Or was it something else?

His wife builds the car, and even with his discounts, he bought a Z. I have to assume that's his way of saying the Z is a better set of wheels!

Oddly enough, I was 100% convinced I was getting a Camaro. I love the looks. Went to the dealer with every intention of buying one. Then I drove it........and bought a Z.
