For example, the FT-86 speculation pegs it agains the BMW 1M and TTS. No Z mention. I've seen this time and again lately with various models. So is the Z an ugly duck now or is it considered to be in some lesser category than the TTS, 1M, FT-86, etc etc?
Well, it's not a world beater in sales numbers, but not even Nissan is really pressing the marketing on it. But it was not hyped all that much last year, either.

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.

plz forgive me?
