⏱ 2023 Nissan Z Launch Timeline Schedule - SOP, Media First Drives, Sales Start

[DevonK]

I was hoping for an early June for the early preorders. The online pre orders in august?

Yes I was referring to the national online reservation list, not the dealer preorders.

I don't think comparing production numbers to a vehicle approaching its end-of-life cycle (one that a lot of people argued was very outdated a few years before they stopped manufacturing it to boot) is a good way to compare what we could expect for a new model. And, as @Donalex said, the Z is a flagship model for the brand.

Agree to some extent, but the new Z is far from all-new so I think its sales longer-term may be more dependent on review judgements than would have been the case with an all-new car.

Has this info been confirmed? Curious exactly where this came from.

Someone posted on the Z facebook group that all of this was just speculation and not an official timeline from Nissan.

This would not surprise me at all. So much misinformation on the web.

Here in Aus it’s $2 a litre so that’s like 1.46 us a litre so what’s that around $5.04 us per gallon regular also

Really going for the "Hey June is still technically spring" release if they get them out by the 21st approach huh? Unless this is to ensure a large number of cars available to meet demand, and thwart mark ups, well then I'm skeptical. I will be test driving a M240i in April, we'll see how it goes.

Nissan is dragging their feet unless they come out and say what I was hoping this strategy is.

I was thinking of the M240I as well until I found out they are built in Mexico. Plus no manual option and right now is only all wheel drive. I had a 335Xi all wheel drive and hated it. It won't let the rear step out if you want to have fun.

To the worry list though I also have an addition: the switch from hydraulic PS to EPS. I loved the feel of the hydraulic on the 370Z, Nissan had better not eff that up or I am out.

Fellow brother! I am in resounding agreement here. The steering will make or break this car for me.

I loved by Q50, but one of the biggest "ah-ha!" moments I had is when I had a brake fluid flush and some other maintenance done on it and got a QX70S for a loaner car. I had such a blast driving that car and 80% of it was the steering feel. The G37/FX/QX70 cars were LIGHTYEARS ahead of the steering feel of the Q50. I even had ordered a Q50S specifically without direct adaptive steering - mine was equipped with the baseline EPS setup with a physical steering column. Not stellar.

Completely agreed. Having said that...My 370Z with "hydraulic" steering felt completely dead to me compared to the boxster I had gotten rid of. Haven't ever had road feel like that in any car. You could feel the front wheels grip and flex around the corner. 370Z never even came close to that.

Don't know how official this is, but found this as I was looking for Nissan dealers in Cali...
