the sales manager that i talked to yesterday said no 350z for 09 but yes for 370 before January - hope he's not just talking out of his a$$

 

I was told the 2008 350Z would be the last of the 350s. They will be selling them new into 2009. In the February-May timeframe, the 2010 370Z will be released. It could be earlier if they get all the bugs worked out & satisfy the regulators...emmisions & safety testing.

 

lots of them dont know a damn thing about what theyre selling. I had a salesman trying to tell me he can get an AUTOMATIC S2k I told him yea sure u can bud..lol

 

Considering the dlrships are getting info on options and colors avail for the 370 I suspect it can't be far enough away to constitute another year of the 350. But this is purely speculation based on the evidence I've seen

 

I like the new Maximas

 

For what it's worth...which is nothing...


...I traded a Maxima in for my 03 Z.

Before I bought my 08 Z they had an 09 Maxima on the lot...nice car...but a different class than a Z. As always....it's about personal preference.


My preference is...


Z

 

I work for allstate and in our computer system there is an option to add an 09 350z... i dont know why we'd be able to do that if there wasnt going to be one

 

It's my understanding the 370Z will be out in January or February 2009 and will be called a 2010 model.

all i can say is i hope your sister enjoys her new Maxima

 

i guess that ends this talk

 

The End.

 

This makes sense for the Roadster to continue for one more model year, since it debuted a year after the coupe. That way, both the coupay and that Roadster will have been around the same amount of time.

Or I am just drawing senseless conclusions, you be the judge

 

That's what I was thinking, but who knows.

 

I imagine the higher performance engine and other chassis upgrades of the 370Z will only be available in coupe form for a while. At the very least, for the first year. The less performance oriented convertible buyer won't be so hot to get their hands on a larger engine, etc., so the roadster sales shouldn't suffer too much over the next year.

Also, it could be that they haven't finished production of a 370Z with the roof cut off.

Maybe they'll keep it that way, so the coupe comes with the higher performance and the convertible comes with a better (relatively speaking) price point still.

BTW, I'm Justin. I'm in the market for a 2007-2008 350Z.

 

I'd suggest you to go to a NIssan dealership and get a 08 350Z.

 

The salesman told me that the 370z is on sale in November...I didn't believe him

 

He is correct. I am ordering one in december. I asked the dealer about what I have been reading in forums. About the 09' being different. He told me that they will change in10'. The 09' will be the same.

 

Coupe or Roadster?

 

I'm pretty surprised that there is gonna (maybe) be a 2009 model... you'd think they would be releasing the 370 by then since the motor has obviously BEEN ready (the g37)
