There were also much fewer 370Z's produced than 350Z's so it will never really be as popular.

Correct. The 350Z sold somewhere on the order of 30k units a year.

The 370Z sold ~10k in the first year and is averaging 7-8k for each year after that. It's just not the same market it was so it's not going to be as popular as the 350.

i tried to make this argument over at my350z and almost every 350z owner disagreed :rolleyes:

Must not turn to darkside....

All I can think of is yoda accent.

Actually, the reason the 350Z sold so well was on the reputation of the 2004 1/2 model......flawless!

:iagree:irrefutable logic.

I blame some of the 370z's slow numbers on poor advertising. It was released when the culture of advertising PR was based around eco vehicles and crossovers.

Good. I hated seeing all those riced out 350Z's and kids driving G35's. I hope the 370 never becomes popular like the 350:stirthepot:

Actually there is some truth in that...for the most part the 370z has been sold a more mature crowd.

I really don't want the 370 to turn into the 350. I don't want to drive a car with such a reputation of a riced out 350 even though I am a youngster. I really cannot stand seeing riced out cars especially a z. But to each their own I GUESS...

Yup. I have always been worried that in a couple years time the 370z would end up being like the 350, i.e., I would start seeing them all over the place being driven by the type person that I do not want to be perceived as by society. It would totally ruin the car for me.

But I think that the reason this happened with the 350 as it aged had more to do with the fact that there were so many of them floating around. Hopefully this does not happen with the 370z since there are not as many of them
