I mean, I've even counted no fewer than six of them on various used car lots around town over the past few weeks alone, while I have seen but three (3) S2Ks on used car lots throughout the entire course of its production (two of which I purchased). Perhaps I am just hopelessly biased. Perhaps not.

I thought they were the new camaro the second i test drove one. I test drove a track model and the car feels bulky, heavy, and underpowered. Thats why i got the S!

Not to mention that it (the 350Z) and the Q35 are basically the same car; and that it can be purchased with both cloth seats (cloth seats in a roadster ) and an automatic transmission . Analysis: Mass-produced crap on a par with the "armpits and assholes" known as the Camaro and the Mustang.

Bakersfield is the capital of 350Zs. It's the most common sports car here. The Nissan dealership has atleast 20+ used/new 350Z on the lot.

WOW! Here I thought Lancaster/Palmdale to be so "blessed." But, hey, that's an, uh, um...er, "honor" that I will gladly acquiesce to Bakersfield.

Nissan of Garden Grove still has about 20 in their lot. Too much supply, not enough demand.

But I've never seen anyone with a mullet driving a 350Z.

If I recall correctly, Nissan produces about 10x as many Z's every year as Honda produces S's. They might be the same price, but only so many people are willing to "deal" with a manual convertible. I've never seen production data for manual Z convertibles vs the S... that might be interesting.

^^that would be VERY interesting.

in my opinion..Z's arent the new camaro. i think theyre the honda civic of nissan. i dont go one day without seeing at least 4 Z's here in rancho. all of which i dont care to give a second look.

where theres a civic, there'l be a Z.

I just passed by what must be North Hollywood Nissan(?) (Cuenga and the 101), and the entire row of cars facing the freeway was made-up of 350Zs - at least fifteen of them.
Does anyone know how many new Ss are usually on the larger Honda lots in Los Angeles (i.e., Honda World)? I frequent Lancaster Honda, Robertson Honda (Palmdale), and Power Honda of Valencia, and never have I seen more than three Ss at a time on any of those lots.
