I used to see 350Z's everywhere....

BrianMSmith · 12-07-2009, 06:30 PM

Now I hardly see them at all. What happened? The recession? People couldn't keep up with payments?

And the 370Z has been out for a year, and I've only seen a couple on the road in that time.

Must be the recession?

370Zsteve · 12-07-2009, 06:33 PM

I see one 350Z a week, on average. I have seen one 370Z since Sept in CT.

Nice Ducati!

How is anybody supposed to know why you're not seeing as many of a certain manufacture of car?

You see less Lexus? BMW? Acura?

Could be some people are driving beaters more often, rather than their higher priced car in order to reduce wear and tear, and retain more value.

Regardless, it's all a guess.

You will see them back on the road in the Spring. Mine will stay in the garage for the Winter. Plus I cut the insurance down to the minimum, save some bucks.

I've seen a 370Z one time during the day, and twice during night. I see a 350Z about once every 1~2 weeks. Depends on where you live, population, etc.

yah, maybe in your area...

gatorfast · 12-07-2009, 08:16 PM

I see multiple 350z's every day. Only seen 5 or 6 370's though.

zfokaiz · 12-07-2009, 08:17 PM

i've really seen ONE other 370 on the road and that was at the dragstrip. I think it was "SOLUS" on here. not too sure though. but I see 350's all over.

areyouin729 · 12-07-2009, 08:19 PM

I drive the darn thing but it's def not great in the northeast in winter

GETU1 · 12-07-2009, 10:52 PM

I see 350's every where! Every time I leave the house I see a 350z or a G35. They're like ants down here!

I think the biggest hill in Texas is the size of G.W. Bush's boner when half erect. If you saw the roads where I live in Pittsburgh

Where the Z is a nice car and I love it and I drive the hell out of it, I dont think its a high end car that you only drive in perfect weather or once in awhile to save its value. Its already been named as a car that holds its value and Im sure thats with the usual yearly allowed milage. If Im goona have a car that stays in the garage and gets driven once in awhile then it would be some type of exotic car or classic car, the Z is meant to be driven as a daily driver.

In the Bay Area I see like a 350Z every other day. 370Z only 3 so far since first came out.

initialgemini · 12-08-2009, 02:41 AM

I see a fair amount of 350s a day. Maybe 1 370 every two weeks. But I switch off between driving my 370z and my civic si hatchback. Mostly because I like to keep the mileage down the Z and I"m pretty particular about keeping her clean and blemish free.
Funny thing is... I see more Porsches, high end, and exotic cars than I see the 370z. Whats nice and fairly surprising is the amount of compliments I've received from their owners.
