I was selected to do a marketing survey for the 350Z (or was it a 300Z?) before they came out. I got $100 to evaluate the car for several hours. I remember they spent quite a bit of time asking our opinions on pricing. I was one of the only ones in the group that grew more and more negative as they discussed lower price points. I felt that as soon as they got their pricing near Mustang territory, that you would attract the wannabe boyracers. I felt like they should go higher to attract a "better" crowd.
