I got my Nismo at Superior Nissan in Carson, CA last night. I went there dead certain I was getting a black one, but when I saw the flake in the white paint I was sold. They also had a silver one, but it didn't do anything for me.

This morning I get on line and see this article:

Hoping to stay safe on the road? You might want to avoid certain cars.

For example, the Nissan (nasdaq: NSANY - news - people ) 350Z has a death rate that's about double that of the average sports car.

But it's not for the reasons you might think. In this case, says Russ Rader, communications director for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an organization that represents the interests of the insurance industry, the 350Z is part of a group of vehicles that tends to be driven by younger, less experienced or riskier drivers, and stands out for having high death rates, through no particular fault of the car.



I love, love, LOVE the car. What is the total number Nissan is making?

pics????

 

i cant remember how many for sure, but i recall hearing 1500?

 

From what I have read here there will be 1,500 in the US though they are available in Japan, this is where I got mine from.

 

The Nismo must be a hot car in the UK, as I can't imagine there being too many

 

its the only one. I think it is the only one in europe.
