as opposed to pushing the ACURA RL remake and rebranded as the C-series

I thought the Altima Se-R commercial was pretty good. My previous car.

People who buy purpose-built sports cars like the Z aren't swayed by television ads; they buy what they want. Television ads are for people who see hamsters driving a Scion xB and then decide they want it.:rolleyes:

As a few mentioned above, there's no reason not to at least show the Z (and maybe also the GTR) in the model lineup, if for no other reason than adding a little sporting gravitas to the Nissan image. I mean, they need it! It's so disappointing that most all the new Nissan models are now CVT trannys. How "non-sporting" can you get? It's become a lineup of "granny cars" with pretty sheet metal. :rolleyes:

This.

Commercials for the GTR and 370Z, and other "super" cars for each car company, do exist, though they are mostly dominant right before and initial release of them. I do remember the first 370Z commercials, and once they have been on the market, they are phased out. There will always be a market and audience for a car like the Z and GTR, so no, Nissan won't spend the money on making additional commercials.

:shakes head:

Commercials and air time cost money. You think every second counts in a drag race? You should look into what each second costs for tv air time, esp. during prime time.

btw, not everyone is in the market for a sports car. nissan will invest their money in commercials that will reach a bigger audience and market than what the Z's/GTR's reach for. how much of a return on investment do you think nissan will get from advertising heavier on the Z and GTR?

and who are you to say what nissan needs?

luv at 1st site
 

Let me get the % of Z owners that knew what they wanted before they got to the Nissan Lot.(that's why there are no commercials) I knew I wanted a Z before I walked on the lot. It was all a matter of how much less off the sticker I would pay for it. And last but not least this is an over 30-40yr love affair with the Z's. when the moon and the stairs aligned themselves(money, children gone, didn't care what the wife said)my dreams came true.

:iagree:I knew exactly what I was looking for before I even went to Nissan. Unfortunately Nissan being what they are they didn't have a single Z, so I bought one from Ford.:happydance:

Not enough people know what a 370z is or a gtr to show them in commercials. You buy them because you know what you want. Ive never seen a porsche commercial because they don't need to remind porsche enthusiasts to go buy one

A couple people have mentioned an absence of Porsche ads. I used to see advertisements for Porsche 911s back when I used to watch tennis (the US Open). I'm pretty sure Porsche also advertises during golf tournaments. I suppose these are the audiences that are more likely to afford a car like that.

Of course people do not buy the Z because of the commercials, but I agree that when they are showcasing their entire lineup of sedans and SUVs in a single commercial they might as well throw in a Z to give the company a sportier image. I remember Dodge used to have some cash-back financing deal and the commercial would say available on everything but the Viper, then they would flash a photo of the Viper to remind people they make a cool car.

Maybe I missed it
 

I have never seen any Z commercials here in Western Missouri except for the one where the guy stretches his Z into a sedan. Life is too short to drive a four door car...
