NSX is a mid engined super car(at least some call it super car)... and price tag is nearly $70,000- $100,000(cant exactly remember) however way more expensive that the the 350Z... so invariably price theory comes into action... therefore I am of the veiw that NSX and 350Z sales cant be compared head to head...

NSX is a decade old car, itz invariably loosing itz sales and thatz why honda came up with S2000 to cover up for the excess capacity in the NSX building platform...

Out of all the nameplates listed above Nissan has the highest sales figure for the lowest selling nameplate of itz lineup... this explains the new business strategy of Nissan... weldone Ghosny!
