Considering this is the remaining 2009 cars left people are being picky and getting exactly what they want. Also, they only made 10k and as of August they sold about 9100 so there are not that many left in the US.

Good: I don't want the 370Z to be ubiquitous like the 350Z, 300ZX or any "best selling" car for that matter. Too much circulation brings down the price. That's why 350's look so bland, because they're so common.

The only reason people can buy these "at invoice" is because the economy sucks, Minicoopers were selling at sticker for years since their inception (2002) until this bad economy...Oh, could that be the reason the 370 doesn't sell well?

The economy is one thing, but with the must be green or fuel efficient a 2 seat sports car is not exactly at the top of many peoples list.

Generally the first year of a new model is the best sales year, however if the economy recovers, the trend could be to higher sales down the line. If 370Z sales do not live up to Nissan's reduced expectations, then I stand by my previous prediction that 2012 will be the last year of 370Z production.

Good, then I'll have the first year of the last model.

Anyway, the 2010's will be hitting the road soon so in a crappy economy why, if you are having money problems, buy a car that's a year old and automatically will depreciate faster than waiting a few months for the 2010?

The numbers do not scare me. It's just because we're at the end of the production year.

Pretty surprised about the 370z sales. I have only seen like 5 on the road during the year and south florida is a hot spot for cars.

Well the economy is terrible and alot of people have lost there jobs.The banks are very critical of credit reports of buyers.Also many people are afraid of first year new models so alot of negativity going on in the market today.
Just glad I bought one when I did because I got exactly what I wanted and very happy with the car.

Yeah, I've only seen a few around town in my neck of the woods (Boca Raton). I was actually quite surprised that all the 370s I've seen have been driven by older women.
