Because our car is really in a little niche of its own. I am glad they don't blast the 370 all over everyone car site, keeps the wanna be enthusiasts away and in their base BMWs etc.

True. Don't properly compete in price with anything under $30k. And we're not as refined or as fast as the more expensive offerings. Everything actually at our price range are doing different things. Subie with the sti is AWD. The rest are muscle cars. The premium sports cars are in a much higher price bracket (Porsche, c7, m4, amg, etc.) and come with far more refined packages even if power is similar (thinking cayman).

Like terrible one mentioned. Nothing is a good orange to oranges comparison for us.

Your very correct. Car sales truck sales have many factors/formulas for success and usually a combo of features that make it.

370z takes someone with some dough, cares less about any form of storage etc.

That no back seat whatsoever can be a killer for alot why alot of cheaper sports orientated cars have one.

Ya I guess that all makes sense. Just wish people knew how fun and awesome this little golden nugget is. This is my second 370. Had the coupe first, now trying the convert (sport and touring package)

Nissans commercials are pretty lame too with an occasional flash of the Z and GTR. They blow up the Altima and Maxima tho.

My wife has a '13 Sentra. The acceleration makes me cry sometimes. It's great on gas though.

ive driven the new one at hertz when i was on a biz trip. honestly i thought i was driving an altima as it felt so much roomier than the last sentra i drove...which was back in 1990.
