I just can't buy this whole thing. Granted, maybe this guy knows something special about the Aussie market, but whatever it is can't apply in the US.
1. The 350z, when adjusted for inflation, costs about what an s14a cost new.
2. The US doesn't buy turbo cars. We have a history of hating them.
3. Insurance on turbo cars is outrageous.
4. RWD coupes don't sell well in the US. There's a reason all Japanese sports/sporty cars except the NSX disappeared from our shores. We didn't buy them. Now the Camaro/Firebird is gone. Nissan brought back the Z and so far so good - but based on history, I wouldn't look for more cars like that to appear.
5. As has been discussed ad nauseum, where in the Nissan line up is there room for this car? Granted the Se-R Spec-V sucks - but is there really room for a car b/n the Se-R and the z? Isn't that what got them bankrupt in the first place?
