2023 Nissan Z Performance
I just got calls from about 4/5 different dealerships in SOCAL saying they have some allocations on the way. Mostly Diamond Black it seems. Costa Mesa is getting a Silver Performance Manual. Mossy Kearny Nissan is getting 2 Black Performances, 1 with red interior and 1 with blue, both at MSRP apparently. A couple other Socal dealers have allocations as well.

Still waiting on a Passion Red Performance to land stateside other than that one in Massachusetts .. šŸ™ƒ

yeah reach out and see what's good. I don't see any of the ones they have transit on the nissanusa website, but I see them when I go to the dealer's direct website

Thatā€™s one thing that puzzles me. Whatā€™s with the lack of Passion Red, Nissan? Red is a classic sports car color, especially for a Z. Nissan acts like they never heard of it, for this car, so far. :rolleyes:

Maybe the tricoat colors are difficult to produce with ongoing manufacturing shortages so they get prioritized less?

Though the white is also tricoat and donā€™t seem to be that rare, so who knows šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

There seems to be blue, yellow, silver, gray tricoats, albeit not in the numbers weā€™d like to see, but the Passion Red is next to non-existent, at this point, by comparison. I have no idea why but, in addition to increased production, I hope we see Passion Red become a lot more prevalent.

I believe only yellow, white, n red are tricoat colors, and yellow being more prevalent makes sense considering itā€™s the Proto/flagship color

But I agree hopefully we see a lot more Passion Reds show up cause itā€™s a really nice color; I think it was pretty popular for the Q60s too

Ah, yes. :) I should have said something like ā€œmulti-colored,ā€ what with colors such as silver having the black top. Iā€™d love having a ā€œone-color, no black topā€ Passion Red but thatā€™s not an option at this point. Heck, itā€™s almost as if the Passion Red isnā€™t an option in any form, which for a sports car is crazy to me. Imagine if you couldnā€™t find your typical luxury sedan in a gray or silver. ;)

I actually saw a red one for the first time today on my lunch break! It's the first Z I've seen actually in the wild and not at a dealership. Not sure where they got it but it definitely wasn't from NY because I've been checking everywhere lol. It really caught my eye driving by, pretty stunning. I was like hey what's this little red sports car? Sure enough it was a Z. Really wasnt expecting that.

Wow! Thatā€™s good to hear. Itā€™s about as rare seeing a Bigfoot, only not scary. ;)

I live in a major metro, Houston, and have yet to see one of the new Zā€™s ā€œin the wild.ā€ The only Z Iā€™ve see in person, so far, was a beautiful blue one at a dealership in Gulfport, when I was on a road trip. They were busy cleaning it for delivery to some lucky new owner. :)

I also finally saw my first Z in the wild this past weekend in the Bay Area. The bright yellow really popped on a sunny afternoon. I had previously seen the yellow indoors at an auto show. Much more attention grabbing in traffic.

Not in CA, but the dealer I originally had a deposit with finally got their Z - a Boulder Gray Performance 6SP for $64100. I already bought one in OR, otherwise I would be #1 for this one. They said if I wasn't happy with mine, I could trade it in for this one. Mine has already had a flat tire and a broken window before the break-in period, so I'm thinking mine is cursed. So I'm thinking...

In SF Bay Area.
One of my neighbors has a Proto.
I saw it often. Still waiting for mine. :(
Checked few dealers in my area.
They either have 0 or 1.
