They are marketing it as a higher end vehicle. Also on the 370Z, that argument would stand that you can get much more car from a Mustang GT/Camaro SS for about the same pride as a 370Z.
Re: the 370Z. It’s a solid vehicle, but definitely doesn’t have the interior refinements of a 2019, simply because it’s pretty much still a car built in 2009. I do love the new Nismo’s and seriously considered one before picking up my tS, but I wouldn’t be surprised that when/if Nissan comes out with a new Z, if it won’t see similar pricing, or at least a decent price hike.
But hey, we all have our opinions of its price, what’s worth it or not, etc. None of us are right or wrong, it’s just what is important to the individual. Hell, people think getting the tS was stupid, I say hogwash to that, I love my car and it’s worth every stupid penny I’ve dumped into it!  |
The thing is,those arguments are made on a daily basis,and are valid.When cars that cost $100k+ are getting outperformed by cars that are half the price,what are you paying for other than the name? Maybe reliability? Maybe resellability? If you say yes to those two,then it's probably worth it from an investment standpoint. If you are just paying extra money for a badge or status symbol,then is it really worth it? I guess it really depends on the individual.
Ultimately,the only reason why there aren't any wrong answers is because those cars that are "overpriced" for the performance are still getting made and enough people are buying them. I guess the market will always determine what's worth it or not.

So the only reason that you aren't interested in a 2nd gen 86 is because of what the internet might say about it?
