Are people holding onto their Zs?

They short people and monty blue and black cherry. According to dealerships. There's only 3 colors to sell. Most will either have, black white and silver or black red and gun metallic. Other colors you kind of draw blind luck. Especially in tx and the states all the way around us...
Now let's say you get a blue or black cherry? You will find it lacks a sport package or it doesn't have nav or is a base sport when you want touring. Or it has nav when you don't want one.
Its a nissan money making scheme. That's why in the end I feel the touring isn't worth the money. My advice would be. When and if Mr. Nash jumps back on here with the discount offer around aprilish-may? Jump on it and grab hopefully find your model. Its the 2 months in the year when there are a lot of Z's on lots. Its like its the only time nissan even tries to sell a Z.
I've been noticing this seasonal pattern and I'm beginning to think nissan is actually forcing there cars to be low volume. The things they do truly are in the opposite of trying to sell this car. They truly have a "sell it the way we give it or step attitude." It might be for the reason of selling low numbers?

I would take black and consider strongly red or silver. I haven't owned a black car in a year and a half. I will say, though, that white is harder to keep clean than black. Argue all you want.

Anyway, if one stumbles along in a reasonable color (I don't want another white car, and I am not a fan of Nissan's blue), and I don't want the grey/silver interior because it would stain to hell FAST! I bet, then I will do the deal if I can either drive to get the car, or get my dealer to dealer-trade (my dealer is willing).

*Frustration*.

Oh, and my dealer has confided that they cannot even order a 370Z. They tried twice. No-go.

Anyway, I guess I will have to go sulk and drive my Z06 in the mean-time
