Soo I was a bit bored.

and went hunting looking for info on 370Z builds for AU

https://www.drive.com.au/news/vfacts-may-2022-last-nissan-370z-sold/

so apprently 745 was the record for Z's in a year

so with there being over 1000 deposits back at start of May and 3000 expressions of interest.

either Nissan are ramping uptheir build process, or I'm actually looking at 2024 not 2023.....

I think I will def be getting a MY24 at the min.

Checked Facebook, there’s a trailer full of Z’s on a Melbourne highway! Yellow blue and white

well that's sure interesting, looks outbound on the SE freeway just after bourke road, (I used to live a couple hundred meters from that)

which is also the direction nissan HQ.

odds on press cars?

odds on press cars?

One of them's a proto so surely that wouldn't be a press car.

They will be Proto and dealer demos…much to my annoyance.
I’m still peeved that they are getting demos over filling customer orders, but I suppose at least it’s a step in the right direction.

Now I’m watching closely to see how they allocate coupes. For instance if my dealer gets allocated a red, but not yellow…they better still be offering it to the first order on the system. I’d be happy with most (not all) colours

nissan AU will take that use as a press car then put in their collection.
That’s what most of them do.

I’m doubting demos. Else they would be on trucks with their xtrails and navaras

add in headed towards nissan HQ.

Hope your right…but it’s not what the intel says, and this truck could be heading to dealers, how do we know?‍

 

[loudsx]

It does not make sense for a dedicated truck for demos.

plus if going to dealer people would be being called to do them.

eg I have a clause of a happy test drive in my contract.

being 6’2 and a bit too girthy I don’t fit in many cars.

that said my dealer prob won’t be getting a demo and I will be heading to melb to do it in due course.
Regional dealer so they will only sell a few compared to 100s of navaras.

Disclaimer I’m not saying impossible and def not discounting your concerns.

But just going with a odds on approach.

and if I was in your scenario and they did demos b4 customer cars I would be pissed.
