Much like the Infinity Q30 that lasted less than 2 years IIRC.

To be fair, the 350Z came out after Nissan took a hiatus from the Z line, and during that time, they built anticipation.

The 370Z came out with no gap in production of the Z line, and people weren't as excited about it.

The new Z just needs to go. I've seen and driven it. What a disgrace. Same with the BMW "supra".

I may go test drive the one sitting there just to see what I think.

I think it was mostly in the timing. In 2003 there was only the Mustang. No Camaro and no Challenger. In 2009 there was the newer Mustang, Camaro and the Challenger. The 370 Z simply got overshadowed. It also could have used the 400 hp back then, just as it needs more like 450 or 500 now to help keep up. JMO.

I would compare the new Z driving experience to the likes of driving the Q60 Red Sport model.

^^This, all day. The Z has always, until now, been competitive, if not a competitor SMASHER at a LOWER price. This Z35 does not offer ANY of that. Id rather get used GTR, or C7. Or a new Mustang/Camaro. All of which HUMILAITE the Z35 in every spectrum for the same price.
