My car has the Fairlady Z emblem and the cop wrote: Nissan Unknown

The Nissan service department rep has refered to my car as a 350Z on more than one occassion... I would go elsewhere, but I already payed for the maintenance package. Let just say I watch them like a hawk everytime they service my car.

Some people are just ignorant when it comes to cars. My uncle & co-worker actually asked me what my custom license plate mean.

had the same thing happen to me. he was like "i'm not seeing fairlady in the system..."

I personally got tired of explaining that the 350z isn't the lower grade model. Its the last generation. My car is just the 09 newest generation. And still, some people don't understand. This fixation that my 370 is somehow an upgrade from the 350 drives me up a wall... though a 370 can be viewed to a mild degree as an upgrade. There's no such thing as a 2011 350z so I don't see it that way.

The 370 is better in almost every way, but you're right, it's not a huge difference, and it's not like the cars are sold side by side. The 370 is the next evolution of the 350.

As far as maintenence goes, nothing has changed. So don't worry too much. Basically all the 3.5 and 3.7ltr cars near identical care maintenence. For the ddealers. The Z is a Z. They don't really care in the form of words but I see ur frustration. If our cars were different then we would have problems. I would just find a gtr certified dealership to ease your lack of confidence with the current one. Gtr dealers usualyy give the skyline mechancics Z to fill up there day

It is a GT-R certified dealer. I think the tech's are fine. Its the service rep that worries me. They always seem to be mindless drones sometimes, just reading off a script. They've even offered me tire rotation at reasonable fee a few times

I am glad that my dealership's owner is a car freak and forces his employees to learn the history of the Z and GT-R

IT is more fun to make fun of them. " Is that a 350?"
"no. It's the new Carrera ZS"

Now, picture them on their lunch break googling that one.

Had someone say is it a Audi TT?

I guess the Nissan emblems don't mean anything.

I actually think there are lots of differences in the looks between the two. I hate the ugly back windshield wiper. That would have actually been a deal breaker for me if I ever considered buying one. Whenever I see a 350Z I always think about how much better mine looks but it's all in the eye of the beholder!
