How many Z's were sold in 2014?

The plus is the Z platform is shared with other models in both Nissan & Infiniti so that helps.
I think the big question is how are they planning to do the next gen model. The iDX was unique but Nissan said as a single platform it will not work but could it be combined with the Z platform maybe to help? Also the G (or q whatever) seems to be going its own direction and might not share as much with the Z other than engine possibly.

The Z will survive or at least the name.
If anything we will see a Z with two engines possibly for the first time to help offset the 'performance' model of the v6. Similar to what we see in the Mustang/Camaro where the v6 keeps the v8 on the road.

That's a fair question.

Chevrolet Corvette Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR

A 2 seat sports car is definitely in a niche market, and with the Corvette being number one by far in this market, selling almost 37,000 last year. I am guessing the Nissan execs would have to think, in order to make a profit and go forward with the Z. They would need to have a car competitive enough to the Corvette, to actually steal sales from them. If not, the Z may be idled till they do.

Being an optimist, I have a feeling Nissan has something special in the works and are excellent about keeping it silent. Let's hope I'm right as this new Z could make an impact in this segment, just like the GTR did upon it's arrival. I'm happy that the C7 is a great car and hope it spurs other manufacturers to be competitive with it as well.

Yes we are rare. That's why people often think the Z's are SUPER cars

Of course I like it a lot.

But if they included snow chains............

I had a 1997 240sx that was my first new car and they only sold 3,655 of them. They only sold the slant or shark eye 240sx in 97' & 98' with a total production of just over 5k. Nice to have a rare car that you like to drive and can afford.

Exotic car brands manage their sales numbers in regions to maintain exclusivity. I like the fact that I don't see my twin everywhere but I really bought the Z for how it drives.


EDIT: And I drove a Mazdaspeed6 for 7 years and that was kind of an oddball too so I guess that's a thing with me.

Didn't want to start a new thread...

Just looked at the latest US Z sales figures ytd for the Z on Good Car Bad Car. So... 370Z sales are averaging 310 / mo (~3700 annualized). That's down from 4600+ in 2017, ~5900 in 16, and ~7400 in 15. Nissan is currently selling 1/2 the # vs just a few years ago.

Will Nissan just let this model die on the vine in a couple years?

I think so, I believe they are sinking all of their time and r&d into SUV's and alternative energy cars. On the sports car side it's all going towards the GTR which is a shame being the normal working man cannot afford one. Love your Z like it's the only one left.

The less 370z on the road, the more valuable and collectable? Along with all the wrecks, the non-modded 370z's will be on future mecum shows. Haha

Well, here's to exclusivity!!!

I'd love to have one of the last 240s like that. Those were great looking little coupes. That motor was a slug in my Frontier, but it would have been fun in a little 2+2.
