Default 350Z

Saw this in Forbes online "What your car says about you."

Nissan 350Z two-door
Base price: $27,900

Compared with buyers of similar sports cars, you are younger and have a smaller chance of being married. You have a higher chance of being black or Hispanic, and a higher chance of wanting to own a pet. The thing you want to feel most is confidence. Having a safe vehicle that you can trust is more important to you than having a vehicle that is fun to drive.

"Having a safe vehicle that you can trust is more important to you than having a vehicle that is fun to drive." Glad I didn't buy the Z!

I'm white... maybe thats why I chose the G35 and S2000? I don't know about ya'll but the vast majority of 350Z drivers I've seen are white... I've never seen a black person driving a 350Z (they never drive 2 seaters) ...hispanic, maybe 1 or 2... but I see 350Zs all day long.

Drive what you want and stop worrying about other people and magazine stereotypes.

Hi, this is S2000 Talk.


S2000 Talk ≠ 350Z Talk.

Hmmm...Any numbers or statistics? Any information on how many people sampled and from where? Average ages and incomes?....

To me "what your car says about you" is that you like it and enjoy driving it. Hopefully, you buy a sports car to suit your own tastes Beyond that I think the 350z is a pretty universal car -- people of all backgrounds driving them all over the world.

S2000 Talk ≠ 350Z Talk.
I was wondering that as well.
