Default That was fast! 350z Deflated

Just drove by a nearby dealership only to find over 30 new 350Zs just sitting there. Talk about flooding the market.
I cant believe that in this one year alone they will be bringing as many Zs as Honda has brought S2Ks in the last 4 years.

I Know can you imagine it!! At the rate their going, in four years they are going to have as many Z33's as Boxters and BMW Z series cars (the old ones, not the new ones). I mean at this rate of production they may have as many 350Z as Corvette C-5 in like 5-6 years! I mean who would've thought that Nissan wanted to sell a lot of cars. The nerve of them.

Do you guys know how much profit Nissan makes off the G35 or 350z? The more they sell/make, the more money they would make right? With this extra money they could make a better Z or maybe bring Skyline to the states....

Around here, the dealers have about 5 or 6 a piece. All within 40 minutes or so from each other. All kinds of colors/options. I still like the new Z and I think they are just stocking up for the Spring rush.

They'll sell plenty of them. . .and why not, it's a good car.

Oh man, I know that place. Everytime I drive south on the 101, I cringe at all those 350zs parked right next to the freeway. I've got nothing against the car, I just wouldn't want to buy a new Z that had been sitting next to the 101 for 5 weeks collecting grime.

True, and the S has becoming more common lately. However, the S2000 is always special because it's not built for everyone.

I think the Z will catch up to the S in the US by the end of this year
