I got the perm ban for (iirc) blasting those guys for bashing the 370. The reason listed on my ban was "troll," despite being a member there for years.

Eff that site, and anyone stupid enough to not leave it.

I've settled on the fact that they're all still in denial and still pissy about the 08' they bought before doing research and finding that the 09' 370 would be available in a few months, it makes me LOL a bit actually.

I was out to buy a new Jeep one time and a dealer tried the same tactic. This Wrangler was demo model and just short of 10k miles. The idiot salesman was trying to convince me it was still brand new because it had never been titled. I pissed him off when I asked if it would still be brand new with 50k miles or even 100k miles. I got up and never came back after that BS.

Have you seen the prices people want for their used 09? 29K 30K? It's just as bad

Please look at this joke of a ad for a Z sale. This is a new Z from 2009 that hasn't sold and it has NO TOURING PACKAGE, NO SPORTS PACKAGE! Its probably a demonstrator for all we know and he's asking over $36,000. Lmfao! What a joke. This car retailed at 31,900 in 2009!!
When I do searches, I see ridiculous adds like this all day long. Its ludacris.
We are 4 months away from the 2011 models. 2009 produced only 10,000 units of the 370z, yet, and there are still hundreds of 09 models on the market. And all being sold like they are 2010 models or even higher... I don't believe that there's no market for this car. I believe Nissan dealers bought into the rave reviews and are just plain old trying to get over so it won't sell on the prices they attempt to get them for. What's your take on this ad?

it's gonna be even worst for the douches that bought the 2010 mustangs. Any Internet search would have told these fools about the bump in power!

Dealers are probably thinking back to the 350z days when they held prices well into the 3rd model year. The problem is:

1. There wasn't a gap between Z models to have pent up demand
2. The Economy
3. Better competition
4. Price has creeped up while buying power on average has decreased - see #2.

Why are 2010 Mustang buyers "douche bags"?

Mustangs (V8's) have been making steady improvements over the past three years.

If I had $60K laying around, I'd give some hard thought to a 2011 Mustang GT500.

If given the choice what would you buy

2010 V6 w/ 210 hp or a 2011 V6 w/ 300 hp

2010 V8 w/ 315 hp or a 2011 V8 w/ 400 hp

No doubt that Mustang buyers that don't do their homework are in for a rude surprise, but that doesn't answer the question as to why you think Mustang buyers are douche-bags.

Gee Ford finally ditches the 4.6 for the "new 5.0". Love the marketing. I never did really like the 4.6 wonder mod motor. Its has almost a full liter more displacement over our 3.7 and they only got up to 315hp NA from the factory.

He said that those who bought 2010's are douchebags, and then he explained why. The HP diff between 2010's and 2011's is enormous. Got it now???
