I'm sure the reason for this thread is that Nissan states that the reason they didn't install the oil cooler, was due to it bringing the cost up on the vehicle to where it was outside of their target market.
That's total bull, since it wouldn't even cost the consumer $500, and I got more than that knocked off the MSRP anyway. |

It's as if Nissan figured out that they could add some more profit to the cars and that they'd be fine without a cooler for 98% of the buying public, instead of having a slightly lower profit margin, and satisfy 100% of the buying public. 10000 370z's produced, 2% would be 200 cars. Actually, I think that's even a bit high. More like 0.5% would be the number of people who are unhappy that there isn't an oil cooler. I'm not saying it is an issue, nor am I saying it's not. I do think it's a bit shady to give the magazine reviewers one thing, get the great reviews, then sell something different to the public. Therefore, that's why I say it'd not be an issue if the car's price increased $500 or less, and came with an oil cooler "as advertised" by magazine reviews.

[QUOTE=kannibul;292689]"True, but also consider the test cars for magazine reviewers also had an oil cooler".
That’s because every “merkin” face magazine reviewer is going drive it like it’s in a demolition derby! Merkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
