Looks like everyone had a pretty rough January except for Kia +3.5%, Subaru +8%, and Hyundai +14.3%.

When the 370Z officially went on sale in Japan on Dec 1, 2008 , they saw a 200% increase in the sale as well.

One more point - 80% of buyers are going for the HDD Navigation system option.

How does the first month of the 370Z sales compare to the first month of 350Z sales back in what, 2003? Im curious.

NOOOO! You want a bad start....until you get yours! THEN let sales go through the roof!

albertu · 02-05-2009, 02:59 PM

1280 vs 5802 of the Rogue, and i don't see that many Rogue on the road, so our car will be even rarer.

As well we should on a "Cult" car that has the same type of following as the Z has.

•Sales of the iconic Z sports car totaled 1,452 units in February, a 33.0 percent increase from a year ago.

Comparing this january to last january is obvious, but how about jan versus december. I think that would be a better indicator as to whether the market is up, down, or the same for nissan.

Yeah .. .good sales # = low discounts.

Anatoray · 03-13-2009, 11:03 PM

Isn't january kind of a "lull" in terms of car sales anyways since people in snowy states typically avoid that kind of purchase that time of year? I know all my friends and family in wisconsin and ohio always hold off until spring.

That would be the # to compare. Not the first year new model sales vs the last year of the previous model.
Although that's still positive in terms of $ sales.
