Delayed until this summer. I knew this was going to happen. The automotive supply chain is in horrible shape right now.

2023 Nissan Z U.S. Release Date Delayed until Summer
Originally scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. this spring, the Z’s launch has been pushed back due to “unforeseen supply chain issues.”

• The 2023 Nissan Z’s arrival date in the United States has been delayed from the spring to the summer of 2022.
• Nissan cited “unforeseen supply chain issues” as the reason for the setback.
• The Z will be powered by a 400-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, and it should start around $40,000.

In a statement, a Nissan representative told Car and Driver that “due to unforeseen supply chain issues that are affecting the entire industry, there has been a slight delay to the summer of 2022.” Nissan’s consumer website still lists “spring 2022” as the launch date.

Maybe I havent been keeping up but I kinda thought summer is the time frame we've had for months now no? Could be that's just the time frame I expected lol

I thought this would happen, wasn't really expecting to see a car in Australia until October. I will just waiting, at this stage it will make a nice birthday present at the end of the year

How about the new 2024 Z?

They should do an unveil of the Nismo Z... just to fuck with us.

With this new information, I expect you boys and girls to have a very financially responsible summer. As strong as the urge for a hot girl or hot boy summer may be (whatever the hell that means), you must resist. You must save for Z. Z is coming. Z is almost here. Z is good. Z is life.

Thanks for the posting. I doubt many of us are too surprised. I also won't be surprised if it gets pushed back until fall/winter. Just gives me more time to save money for it.

Unforeseen supply chain issues?

Is Nissan living in a cave?

Earlier I was predicting, 2024 as the soonest a Z would appear in my driveway. This latest news makes that seem even more likely.

I'm not out. But I'm not in either. I guess it's more like, we'll see what's happening a few years from now.

On the plus side, this latest news makes the new tire/wheel package I'd been eyeing for my current sports car, an easier decision. Onward with enjoying this summer.
