The Z cars are luxury cars, and they are not effective or safe all-weather cars. The portion of the population that can justify buying a car solely for fun that has to sit in the garage under cover for 5 months of the year is relatively small. While it's sitting in the garage, ya still gotta make the payments.Common thing in canada.
This definitely has a part in it. I live in a place that gets big snow in winter too - though I used to drive my Corvette no matter what as long as the roads were dry. 4 degrees (F) is the lowest I ever drove it on a grocery store run. This will be my first winter with the Z and I plan on doing the same thing. Just not one of those people that 'puts up' their sports car for the winter. I drive it as much as I can. I got a Frontier for the bad weather days.The Z cars are luxury cars, and they are not effective or safe all-weather cars.

The more the cold and snowy/icy weather, the less practical the car tends to be and the fewer people willing to spring for that luxury. Living in Minnesota (almost Canada), I'm aware.
Yeah, I've been cruising Z forums for a long, long time. I know that lot of people in adverse climes continue to drive their Z's (as well as other similar sports cars) year round regardless of what's on the ground. From my standpoint, I drive Z's because they're fun to drive. I've found, clearly, that there is nothing fun (for me) about driving a 300-400 hp rear-wheel drive sports car with low-profile summer compound tires and less than 5 inches of ground clearance in the snow or on icy roads. I also know, through experience, that a set of Blizzaks (or whatever the snow tire of choice is these days) only makes such driving possible, not smart or fun. Exciting, yes, but not fun.This definitely has a part in it.

Wow I had no idea Nissan was in that bad of shape. This seems to explain why I don’t see many Nissans on my daily commute.
Wonder why you never see a Z on the road? Of the 283.4 million cars on the road in the US, only a small handful are Z's: 0.0018%Here is the US Nissan Z Year End 2024 Sales Report With cumulative totals since initial on sale in 2022
