the Z's like the "CEO" of some mom/pop shop. the Mr.CEO is the only guy working for that company. :D

silly like tiny companys have all executives and no staff.

lol I did it to you first, but it was meant as a joke, man. I'm sorry if it upset you or anything. It was a perfectly innocent question.

I mean that your question was innocent. I was trolling you for laughs. I didn't mean anything personal. I hope you find this place fun and informative, although I was a little hard on you. :tup:

plz forgive me?

I have to say this is something I've noticed too over the last year in the car mags. The 370Z is mysteriously absent from comparos lately.

Even the run-of-the-mill V6 comparos with the mustang vs camaro vs (import). They use the Hyundia Genesis now instead of the Z. The conspiracy theorist in may says they picked the Genesis over the Z because they wanted a dead-ringer American winner (mustang), in the post magazines-run-the-domestic-auto-manufacturers in to the ground era.


How do you not include the Z in a V6 < $30K comparo? Wasn't even in the track shoot-offs either.

Maybe the Z is black listed by the mags since the NismoZ brake fade incident last year with Car and Driver was it, or Road & Track?

Dunno. Don't care. I still think the Z is the highest value sportscar on the market (performance+aesthetics+comfort+reliability)/(dollar spent)

Fewer Z's on the road = exclusivity + retained resale value

The only commercial I've seen on TV that had a 370Z in it was a commercial for the Maxima. I think Nissan is trying to keep the Z for those who are true fans only, who don't need a commercial to get them to buy it.

I remember reading on MSN Autos a few weeks ago that they thought the 370Z was the best value for money sports car. It made me smile :)

It's the 2+2 thing, man.

The Z competes with other 2-seaters like the Boxster, Cayman, Z4, etc. They are, by definition, sports cars.

The Mustang, Camaro, Genesis, G37, and other 2+2 2 doors are all sport coupes.

the conspiracy theorist in me says it's cause all those other car companies you listed are throwing $$ towards the magazine to get their cars featured and nissan isn't doing that for the Z...:ughdance:
