And to the above posts - doesn't our car already have direct ignition? I mean we have coil on plug...

Direct injection is not the same thing as direct ignition. The former pertains to fuel delivery. The latter doesn't. But to answer your question, yes we have direct ignition. That was previously mentioned in the thread.

I guess I got posts crossed.

Just grab the 09/10. You just don't know what the '11 will have in store - it could be the same, better, or even worse. Get the sure thing...

if a new z comes out with DI (and uses 10% less fuel) and has an engine that wails... i'm gonna cry... and then get over it...

Just grab the 09.

Thanks for the input so far guys, I think I'm going to go for a leftover 2009. FWIW, it was a salesman at the dealership who said that they would be getting direct injection for 2011, so I guess take it for what you will.

Wait the dealer told you? Besides the fact that salesman are clueless, why was he talking up the 2011 when you were trying to buy an 09/10? lol

salesmen know nothing, half of them think the z has a backseat.

LOL. I agree -- salesmen know nothing. In fact, you just reminded me, I went into the dealership in Dec. of '08 to ask when they expected the 370Z to come in (I had just totaled my 350Z). Their response was that the 370 wouldn't be released until 2010. I rolled my eyes and left. Then I returned in January and picked up my 370. I couldn't resist making a wisecrack about how we must've traveled into the future. They were like, what do you mean? So I said it must be 2010 already, seeing how the 370 had arrived.

I slay me.

iceman21_23 · 12-16-2009, 05:09 PM

I remember walking into my local Nissan dealer after January 2nd. They had a 370Z in their show room. As I'm checking out the z, one of the salesman approach me and started telling me about the Z (lol.. I know. I can probably teach this guy but I'm just listening like a noob). I asked him I would like the base with sports pack. He told me that I can't add sport pack to the Z unless I get Touring Model. I asked him, where he heard such thing? He told me that it's straight from Nissan USA. I left the floor laughing!

did you do it?

My salesman told me that if I rotate the tires they will last twice as long

He also told me the car comes with a full-size spare and isn't it nice that you get five of these nice wheels and tires.

Or clean the paint with brake fluid for the extra shine.
