Everyone with oil temp issues

I'm ready to trade up to a 370Z, but all this talk of oil overheating is putting me into limp mode.

Yeah, I hear ya! I have been drooling over the 370Z for months and the oil temp issue certainly did put a damper on my fun, but in the end I couldn't resist it anymore. I'll just join the rest of you guys and demand action, if that fails and I have a problem just slap an oil cooler on and go!

I wondering if we should start a poll or something that tracks how many people are wanting to buy the 370z but are holding off or chosing another car due to this oil temp issue. Something else we can show Nissan so they can see how much money they are losing. Seems I'm not the only one who is holding on to my money until I know how this is going to play out.

As said before, I have not purchased only because of the over heating issue.

Default It's the inattention from Nissan that makes me leary of buying.

I've wanted one of these cars since I was in high school and 280ZXs ruled the world. I never could afford a 300ZX, drove a BMW Z3 and then a 330 Cabriolet while the 350Z was going strong. Now I have an MX-5 (I really missed the roadster handling) that I wouldn't give up for anything out there at twice the price...until I saw the Z.

This car kills everything under $50K in my book. Fix the oil thing, or at least make me confident that you will still stand by your product if I fix the oil problem and I'm a buyer.
