Seems like noone even knows the 370Z exsists...

I mean don't get me wrong, the "car guy" obviously knows about the 370Z but it seems like every average Joe or Jane seem to think this is a 350Z.

I guess that isn't a bad thing because it gives a rarity the 350Z didn't have but kinda gets annoying explaining over and over again. Maybe it is just me, but in the Philly area this seems to be the case but then again I can count on one hand how many Z34's I've seen since their release.

For instance, I ran into a girl friend of mine and she says "why did you get another 350Z?"

Seriously! I see more "BMW" and "Mercedes Courtesy Vehicle" loaners driving around here than the actual owner's car. Sad.

That's because ppl don't read. All they do is watch tv. There aren't any commercials for the 370z.

How 'bout calling both 350s AND 370s "Porsches"?? It's happened, too!

That is what my old lady said when she saw a red one at the dealer.

BTW, in my area there are few 370s but 350s are everywhere, especially the Silver color.

Wonder why I got rid off mine and got a 370...
