Again, it was a different time and the economy was better but I recall seeing a TON of Z33s on the road back in 2002/2003.
Maybe the economy isn't the only thing to blame. My theory is that the early adopters/enthusiasts (the ones most likely to buy the Z34) have already spent thousands on their Z33 and aren't willing to trade them in for the Z34.

I see a yellow one everyday 
Seriously though, I've seen exactally 2. The first was at Technosquare at their dyno day and the second was a silver one driving past me in Redondo Beach. Kinda broke my heart a little but I guess I am going to have to get used to seeing more and more of them.

I haven't seen any on the road here in colorado springs. We've had a really mild winter here as well. I must have had the top down on the vert at least 25 times this winter.
Although, I have seen 5 370's at the two nissan dealerships here. 1 Black, 2 silver, 1 red, and 1 blue. Both silvers and the red one have sold. They also have a nice GTR sitting in one of the showrooms. Between the two dealerships, they still have 4 2008 350z roadsters.
I hit up the dealerships every Sunday when they aren't there to bother me. Made the mistake of going when they were open so i could sit in one. I had to tell the two salesmen and the sales manager who were pinning me in the driver's seat that my wife and I were both unemployed and living off of food stamps for them get out of my way so we could leave!

Haven't seen one on the road either (except from inside the car on the test drive). My local dealer has 3, 2 loaded Sport Touring and 1 base. The one I test drove had 250 miles on it already so I don't think they've sold any of their inventory. I ended up buying from them but I made them get the car I wanted from another dealer 60 miles away. Sport 370Z 6MT in Pearl White. She's very pretty and I get to pick her up on Friday!
but not so good in the front.
ive yet to see one either... maybe too pricey for?... i mean i bought a Z and i think the base model is still an ok deal, but 3k for the package that makes it "better" than the old Z is alittle high.
And the current economy status, i mean besides trucks, i havnt been seeing many 09 models anywhere. Maybe some Toyaots but thats kinda it.

I have a hard time believing that weather plays a big factor in this. There are people on this thread from year round warm weather states who have seen either none or just 1-2.

Of course, it's still winter in New England, so cars are tucked away until the weather breaks.
PS...Stopped into the local Nissan dealer today for some parts....They're sitting on first two 370's taken delivered of in January...not sold one 370 as of yet. Also, they have a new white GTR in the showroom that originally had a "market adjustment sticker" of $118,000 that seems to have disappeared. I was told sales are so slow right now that the GTR can be bought below the original sticker price. However, if I had $80,000 to spend on a car, I think I would be looking at a new M3 for the money.
