That's part of it, but Ford also had some self-owns. Such as their faulty reservation system, which ended up more like a marketing scheme, and ticked off lots of customers. Or their continuing failure to produced a good hardtop, still causing delays in certain model availability such as the...

Agreed. Ford pulled a similar thing, tens of thousands of people were still waiting for their regular Broncos, yet for some reason Ford was leaking and teasing special Raptor and Everglades versions. It stirred things up at the time in not such a good way.

"... we have customers that understand that they’re not necessarily available tomorrow.” - Nissan Managing Director Well that's an understatement!

I've been keeping an eye on these the last several years, as performance has increased and prices have come down. Is this Ultra Bee model going to be a bit larger than the Surron Light Bee? There is also the Talaria Sting, which is a bit larger and apparently made by some guys formerly with...

Yeah no offense to the reviewer, but it's nearly 2024 and still mostly influencers or whatever owning? We should be passed that stage already, and seeing significant number of forum owners and "regular people" owning and reporting on this vehicle already. Come on Nissan, get the car out there...

My dream of a true 40k Sport Z seems fading away. :(

"Study: Americans Less Satisfied With New Car Purchases" https://www.kbb.com/car-news/study-americans-less-satisfied-with-new-car-purchases/

COVID messed up my health. Not the COVID virus, but the enforced response in my area, to irrational fear of COVID. It shut down my family's globe trotting, race running, active lifestyle. We even got threatened with arrest at one point, just for swimming by ourselves in Lake Michigan. COVID...

Feels like Mercedes is selling kind of a gimped EV. The owner must fork over $1200 a year, to get full motor performance. "Mercedes-Benz releasing 'Acceleration Increase' subscription fee for electric vehicles:"...

I came here after another vehicle went MIA for me (Ford manual trans 2-door Bronco). Only to find another MIA vehicle in the Z. :(

Regardless of performance and functionality concerns, for a guy like me the Z could still be a fun and desirable car - if the price were right and if available. But it's looking like low availability and jacked up prices a long way (years?) out - at least in the USA market. Originally I had...

"Buyers resent low inventories, prices over MSRP, study says" https://www.yahoo.com/autos/buyers-resent-low-inventories-prices-211000746.html Maybe ... but buyers keep paying the prices. Until buyers show some restraint and fiscal sense, there is little reason for dealers not to charge ADM and...

Agreed from the side view especially, looks kind of like a Tesla model. But I don't care for the lower rocker arm "angle thing", at least not from this front-side view:

I hear ya, lol. Never thought I'd own a Kia, but it's been kind of a god-send for "domestic harmony". My wife was giving me a lot of grief over our old vehicles breaking down, and finally had insisted on a brand new economy car, and wanted manual transmission. So I lucked out and got that Soul...

Dang, hope Jay Leno is ok. Apparently some fire mishap related to one of his vehicles: "... Leno was hospitalized on Sunday after a fire erupted in his Los Angeles car garage. One of the cars reportedly burst into flames ..."...

Not sure about Z, but our 2020 Kia Soul owners manual, was dual personality on the matter. The manual started with this sentence: "No special break-in period is needed." But then proceeded to give a list of break-in activities that could "add to the life of your vehicle", lol. Among the...

That's disappointingly far away in my book. My estimate has always been a 1 to 1.5 years wait, from the start of Zs getting delivered in reasonable numbers, before I can get a Z. Because I estimate it will take that long (at least in the USA market), for prices to settle to MSRP. So, if the...

So you're saying Dan took a "Passe". ;)
