Some intereseting numbers on cars sold in the UK here:

So far in 2011 GTR has outsold 370Z coupe by 337 to 295.
370Z roadster often has months where only 2 or 3 are sold which is why they are some very good deals on these.

Juke 19,200 and Cashcow the biggest seller at 27681.
Total new Murano was only 12 which I guess is why it was axed.

Wow, now that is interesting

Very interesting but.... Anybody else old enough to remember the Rowan and Martin show. Seriously would never have guessed that the GTR had outsold the 370, just wish I could afford one.

That makes the 370 even MORE exclusive, no wonder i rarely see one !

Sorry mate, we have HTML disabled to prevent nasty people doing naughty things.

I wonder if we should relax this rule for Members now...

yes please...

Thanks to BadgerBox for sorting it out. I tried 3 of 4 ways and lost the will to live, so thought I'd just leave it be.

Just looked at the earliest 350Z records on that site.
In 2005 total 350Z coupe sales were 1343. By then it was 2 years old.
So a fair comparison with the 370Z is the 2011 figures which is at 295 for the year...

That recession thing has made us 370 owners a very rare breed!

What's "road" tax on the 350/370 ? You guys get royally screwed on that these days iirc.

Brand new cars - its around £1000 for the first year. After that its approx £450 / year

My dealer 'absorbed' these costs but, of course, the buyer pays for everything in the end...

Ugh, stupid a** government, seriously

I assume this is usually the case with new cars? they paid mine too.

Yep, I'm sure everyone does it.
