Hate to see the Z step down from being a Cayman fighter to a FT86 fighter

Seriously don't understand why Nissan can't keep the Z in the segment it's in and just bring back the Silvia to fight the toyobaru's.

Money.

The 370Z was approved with an estimate for about 30,000 units sold in 2009 alone. The car only sold about 10,000 units. It took a little over three years for sales to hit the 30,000 originally forecast for the first year.

So if you put your Nissan bean counter hat on you might ask yourself if it's worthwhile to continue to market the Z in this segment. There is so much competition in the 30-45k range that makes it difficult for a 2 seat sports car to thrive.

Who knows, we might see Nissan make another go at it... but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they decide to withdraw and try to sell the Z in a different segment.

I'm glad I didn't act on my accounting degree and got a job in finance trying to help rich people get even richer.

Yeah, it seems like an admission by Nissan that they can't compete with Porsche's Cayman, so now they're downgrading the Z [engine & price point] to meet Toyota/Subaru's FR-S. Who knows...maybe this will actually make the Z a better car (? ?). . .
