Nissan is dropping the ball royally! Only Protos were delivered in the US and Canada, very disappointed in this years long rollout. @Dan_Passe what on earth is going on with production?? I think most of us here are getting really tired of these delays!
The manual GR Supra is looking more attractive, wonder if it will be produced and delivered even BEFORE the other Z trims....

Haha agreed. Canada has yet to see a single demo or retail car.

Australia has only received Protos for customers.
Any coupes have been dealer demos, and not up for sale for 9 months

The hits just keep on coming. That stop-sale situation regarding the 9-speed transmission means that no vehicles so equipped will even be shipping from the Tochigi plant until the problem is remedied (in addition to any sales being halted for vehicles at any point in the delivery process).
Nissan Issues Stop-Sale Order For Z Sports Car With Automatic Trans (motor1.com)
I know that this isn't necessarily news to us, but the fact that it's appearing in the news incessantly is a hideous look. Unmitigated disaster? Maybe, maybe not. Coupling it with the Supra MT rolling out, however, dumps salt into the open wounds of this launch situation.

Bought a 2020 for mama Dec 2019, so she's lucky. I guess I'm gonna have to make do with my 2014 for as long as possible.....at least I like the car."With no relief in sight for the chip shortage, the time has come to adapt to it"
"This is the new normal"
Fortunately, I bought one new and two used vehicles, just before the COVID era and all this stuff blew up. So my "adapt to it" is increasingly looking like telling auto-makers "see ya", and sticking with my current vehicles.
Also regarding the litany of excuses from COVID to "high seismic activity and geopolitical tensions" mentioned in this article to name a few. Seismic activity, lol. In that case there will always be something. Yeah, this situation is not clearing up anytime soon it seems.
I'm really worried that all of these desirable vehicles, being under-produced, will create permanently high pricing. Less new cars=less used cars. I don't think people realize that when they say "when things get back to normal" the cars we want are being outlawed eventually, and the longer these issues persist, the more likely it is that the models we want today, will NEVER become reasonably priced, used. There will be too few.
BTW, also pay attention to the increasing MSRPs. Manufacturers want in on the dealership markups, they see every vehicle they produce being sold for way over MSRP, they'll keep jacking up MSRP, $1k per year, testing how much people will pay per unit. There's absolutely zero risk to the manufacturers that they won't sell every single vehicle as people are desperate.

I've seen a few Broncos in traffic recently. Beautiful vehicle, hang in there! That one's worth it...True. I got an email this morning from Ford, asking me to renew my long delayed Bronco order for MY2023. Although apparently Ford laid-off their IT staff, because their email includes the wrong link, to the old 2022 build and price page. WTH Ford? And yes, after finding the correct new B&P page, I see the base Bronco 2-door MSRP has gone up for 2023, by around 1k USD.
