This is what I was kinda hinting to in another thread about how hard it was to buy nice cars back in the day. Many people in the last decade or so got in over their heads on cars and houses so now banks are being more strict.

Ive only seen about 3 or 4 other 370s but a **** load 350s. The 350s are almost as common here as the freakin mustang, which I see about 50 a day of.

In central VA I don't see any 370's except when I drive by the dealer's place. I have seen maybe 2, 350's. But that seems understandable because when viewing the Mid-Atlantic section of the forum, there only seems to be members in a 2-3 hour radius of me, either Northern VA or VA Beach areas.

Only a handful here in Memphis. I've seen one other base Black as opposed to my Sport Black, one Sport Blue, one White (a few times, the driver must live in my area) and one PG. I do not see them with any frequency at all, but the driver of the Blue (370zproject) here on these forums was pretty damn cool. Haven't seen any of the other drivers to have a chat with.

I estimate that there are at least four others within a two-three mile radius of me. A yellow sport lives in my complex, another yellow lives nearby. There's a white one maybe 2 miles from me, a blue one, and then a black one I see all the time so I assume he is close too.

Been seeing a silver nismo a lot lately so that could be another.

I also see a white, pg, and silver one very often near my office.

Doubtful. I think by the end of next year 370s will be almost as common as 350s in my area. On any given weekend I see a minimun of 20 per day. They are almost as common as Mustangs.

StLRedrider · 01-01-2010, 03:59 PM

20 Z's, damn. i haven't seen but 3 since last february

Goolsbymd · 01-01-2010, 04:05 PM

I drove across the US from Norfolk, VA to San Diego, CA and did not see one 370Z. A lot of 350s.

Heck, it's more common to see a used Porsche or newer Infiniti than see a Z of any kind in my area.

The cliff has some nice areas, where in the cliff are you. There are lots of them but they are probably mainly on the North Side. I live Plano and work in Lewisville and up in these parts I see them quite frequently besides mine.

I've only seen one on the street, a black one owned by my cousin. I live in a town that has a population of 60,000 though, I guess I'd have to go to Houston before I start seeing a lot of 370s. I see a ton of 350s though.

Minicobra1 · 01-01-2010, 05:45 PM

I know this is old, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

I was trying to search for some type of sales figures for North America by state or region, but could not find anything. Would be cool to have something like that.

Yeah, 350s are incredibly popular around here, partly because they are so cheap used.

On Christmas Eve my girlfriend and I were driving to my parents house and saw three 350s in the same group of maybe 15 cars headed the opposite direction. Then a couple minutes later we saw a blue 370 with what appeared to be black wheels (thinking it may have been 2theexteme).

They really are a dime a dozen. We have a bunch of modded ones around here too.

Pheonix · 01-02-2010, 03:46 AM

Same here. I was at Fox and the Hound the other week, and saw at least 3 or 4 350's in the same parking lot. At least one of them was visibly modded out. They're just on the market and easy to come by right now.

MightyBobo · 01-02-2010, 10:31 AM

350's are everywhere.

Ive only seen maybe 5 or 6 370's in this area, though. 3 of them work in my area.

m4a1mustang · 01-02-2010, 10:50 AM

I drove to the Starbucks less than 2 miles from my house this morning. Spotted the yellow Z in my complex and a silver Nismo parked at the Silver Diner. Both 370s.

Did not count the 350s, but there were surely more than 5.

I don't know about the rest of the country but Nissan hasn't advertised the car at all where I'm at, even local dealers haven't advertised the car much at all. I haven't seen a commercial from nissan since the car was released.
