According to Wiki these have been released in Europe for a fair while now, but I've never once seen any on the road.

Have people seen them?

Is there a specific reason why they might not be selling?

It's a funky looking car and well, there were a fair few 350zs about when they were released so just wondering why I've never seen one, thought they'd sell well.

Guessing it's due to the 30k price tag? I'd imagine competing with the Z4 would be quite tough.
 
They are superb cars, fast, handle great and very well built, I've seen a couple around here but they are rare. Can only guess they are not selling very well as their target audience is mainly young males and most young males can't afford them.
 
I've seen a few, but not many.

I think it's generally down the the fact that when you think 2 door sporty coupe, most peoples minds don't immediately say, YES! Nissan.
 
I've had one a few times. Nice box and pretty responsive, but overall I'm a bit "meh" on them. Agree with Gibbo though, they are screwed together well.
 
seen a few, part of the prob maybe the current economy and the fact they are a bit ugly compared to the 350z

Have you driven one Gibbo? Does it meet your new car criteria?

Driven the 350Z, the 370Z is basically just put together better, has slightly more power and have syncro revs which works well.

Would I consider one, no not really, as I'd rather its main competitor which is the superior Cayman S. :)

The Cayman S has little less low down grunt, but revs better and is a precision scalpel with superb steering feel and handling. The 370Z can cover ground more or less as quick, but the Porsche is far more focused and precise equalling more fun. Both are excellent car but I think I really need more grunt. :)

Is the Cayman S not significantly more expensive though?
 
Ah, thought as much. Is it not a huge improvement over the 350Z then?

The Nismo has 350bhp apparently but I'd imagine 400bhp would be make it a bit more exciting to drive.

I guess it will make a good second hand purchase as it will depreciate far quicker than the Porka. Add in cheaper running costs and they could have the potential to be a good buy in ~3 years or so. :)

Had a browse on the Nissan USA site and you can apparently spec better anti-roll bars for it from new, wonder if they're the same ones that the Nismo has.
