I am glad you enjoy it. I also got the dealership call to upgrade to the NISMO but the automatic is major downfall to me.
I was wishcasting they would hear us and give us the manual Nismo this year.
Mine had 4 miles when I took it home and test drives were not allowed. but the car model was brand new and the people buying them showed up ready to buy. I new more about that car than anyone in the dealership when I walked in.
From my own audio install I can tell you just killing those 2 rear rattling speakers is a giant gain. The Z cabin is small enough were I found I didnt need that fill.
This is the answer!
What I know about investors is they are poorly informed about the current situation of any company, all they care about is brand recognition. The Nissan name is known so they will pay for that name. Even if the company goes away the brand name and the model names have value.
I have a similar memory of my uncles porsche. It had a super tacky black and white checkerboard interior. Not a common interior choice but I though it was so baller.
