Why aren't 370's in commercials?

alanforn · 01-17-2017, 01:26 PM

I've only had my z for a few months, one of the things that seems odd to me is that the 370 is never shown (at least from what I've seen) in Nissans TV ads, even when their complete lineup is highlighted..just seems strange to me.

Literally no one gives a sh*t about the Z except us, like Nissan for example...

We are too cool....

The GTR is their flagship. Don't get me wrong I love my Z for sure.

Absolutely, but same applies for GTR..I don't believe I've ever seen a US commercial for this car either. Unless a car fan, not many know this car even exists..everybody knows a Corvette. Oh well, their loss..

it's not a money maker for the company thus they put the least budget to promote it.

They did a great one...clear message is that the moment anything happens just pulled some fenders and you get a new car.

Rocxtar · 01-17-2017, 02:59 PM

Probably because the Z is not for everyone (less practical) and most of their sales come from Altimas, Maximas, and Crossovers, SUV's therefore they will spend money marketing the vehicles that they can get more sales. (I could be wrong about this, just what comes to mind)

I don't know of too many car companies that have their sports cars in commercials other than a few. I don't think I've never seen an EVO, S2000, Ford ST, and similar cars in commercials, but I did see a 370z on a recent commercial that is not related to car sales but a movie. Sleeples trailer you can see for a second a 370z, so that's the best we'll get for now.

probably the same reason their commercials show all their cars in red (which I really wanted) but was impossible to find: poor marketing.

Nissan DOES NOT advertise for the Z. They feel it speaks for itself. The closest they got to advertising the Z was a Nissan maxima commercial where the premise was the guys wife had a baby so he bought a family car that will not make you miss your sports car.

I'm thinking they are pushing for the "really practical reliable plain vanilla" market. First cars, young families, old folks getting their last car.

Sports cars have the perception of everything except that.

They don't need to advertise it. People actual seek them.
