370z Popularity

Colton370z · 04-13-2016, 05:14 PM

I am curious as to why the 370z's never took off that well? I imagine it is hard for them to compete in the NA market with people here generally gravitating towards muscle cars. The fact they are a two-seater and small trunk space may be the practicality factor, but still. Quick cars. Great handling. Just an interesting thought that is an ever going debate I am sure.

Simple. Being a real sports car, it's a niche with low production numbers. Impracticality makes the cost tough to stomach if you're not specifically shopping for a sports car.

It doesn't bother me that the Z34 never took off quite like the Z32 or Z33. In fact, everything in the world seems right every time I see a BRZ.

Honestly I don't want the Z to be to popular

Lets also not forget at the launch of the 370 the economy was not all that great which didn't help sales.

Total Agree. By the time things started getting better in 2013, the Z is already in its 5th model year with newer competitors. Economy downturn in Japan in the 90s' also killed many sports cars.

Its also interesting that you drive a Camaro and not a Z. Is this little blurb of yours meant to somehow make you feel better about driving a Chevy? You should probably stick to your Camaro Owners forum. Just another interesting thought 🙄

No, I hate my Camaro. It is partially a lemon and I hate how GM is not backing up their warranty. I am in the market for a Z so I am just doing research.
