How about not being so superficial that you're obsessed with what other people think about your car? OH NOES IT'S NOT HOT ANYMORE!111! 
Good cars are always "hot" to people who are informed about cars. And everyone else is too ignorant to be concerned their opinion on the matter anyway. If teenagers on the internet decide that the 350Z is "teh lam3" I could care less.

while i'm not necessarily condoning the whole ric flare over zeal thing (nor am i condemning it, to each his own), your camry comparison holds little weight as a fully loaded Z is a bit more than 30k. On another note, does bigger pricetag always equate to better car? I think not.
not trying to rile you up. just being realistic.

i think mine has stood the test of time...5 years
when the 09's come out, it'll just be another extension of the legacy and our 350z's will hold their respectable place in the line.

As far as the topic at hand, to me the car is a classic. I'm reminded everyday that I have a hot car, and it's usually one of two things:
A) A girl/girls hitting on me, and shouting "NICE CAR" or "HOT CAR!" (swear to God on this)
B) All of the drivers on the road who can't help but look.
How about a third?
C) The as*hole ricers and/or guys who want to show off in their (insert crappy car of choice here)
The public admires the Z on the roads the same way they admire Ferraris, Porsches, etc. That kind of affection and attention usually helps cars remain timeless for years to come, sort of how like Supras remained timeless, as well as the NSX, RX7, and 300ZX.

NEVER.
The older fairly Z looks hot even now, 2 decades later.
on the other hand, I think the looks of the new GT-R and the G35 coupe will grow out more quickly.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Had a friend who saw my Z for the first time and said "This is going to be a classic some day." So true.

That's a pretty big drop in price, which usually indicates that Nissan is building a ton of Z's and that's causing the demand to be lower and the resale to drop. These are not good signs for a car to become "classics". Unless someone is planning on keeping their UNMODIFIED Z for 30 years, then maybe we might see you and your Z on the Barret-Jackson auction block one day.
