2023 Nissan Z Launch Delayed Until Summer 2022

[DevonK]

So..the cars been delayed….I’m hoping that infirmation such as pricing that was supposed to be released next month is forth coming
We should be able to know what we are in for, particularly those of us who have deposits down that Nissan is earning interest on…and we are not

If Nissan had any PR brains (no evidence of such atm of course) they'd be sending generous swag packages out to all those on the Aus and Cad reservation lists as a "sorry we fu**ed up" gesture....

Well, my 370 will soon get a new set of tires, and I have a Varis carbon front lip and carbon rear spoiler to install

It took around 8 months for the Varis lip and spoiler to make it to me from Japan

Everyone should also get ready for even tighter availability than what we were initially expecting.

If Nissan can't even manage to keep a simple 2 seater on schedule, you better believe when they do go on sale, they will not be producing them in any appreciable quantities.

For those of us in the US, I'd say at least 2 years of ridiculous ADMs.

Nissan really is a mess right now.

Yes, it will take 2 years for the automotive industry to get back to speed.

Does this mean media embargo is extended?

I heard May 16 is the end of the embargo- hope it stays and doesn't get pushed back.

A rear wheel drive car to enjoy it for a few months.
I may hop off this bus.

Maybe I havent been keeping up but I kinda thought summer is the time frame we've had for months now no? Could be that's just the time frame I expected lol

Agree, I had the same understanding. As far as I know it still looks like a July delivery to Aus.

bummer!! But to be expected . Maybe by fall I'll have one but not crossing my fingers though.

That sucks I would not have any money in the last few minutes of the summer. With the delay might as well keep doing the house projects. Oh well count me in for the 25 / 2026 redesign. 420Z ???

I'm ready to pay $100K for a Base Sport with rollup windows! I HAVE to have one!!!!

From Spring to Summer, it could be 1 to 30 days of delay.
Anyway, to me, it is not official yet. Just C&D said so.

First in with: "That's it, I'm out!"

Actually I'm not...

ha

I just bought a 2022 Miata RF club
So much fun
I’m out for now
Might trade it on the Z in a couple of years if it’s out by then ?

I won’t mind trying to drive this thing in winter (it’s hit or miss if we get snow or ice), I’m still in on this car as well

+1, but I'd want power windows.

I spoke to a Nissan Corporate employee who happened to be at our local dealership about six weeks ago about the new Z. When I asked about the release date, she looked at me and said “I would not be surprised if it is late summer/early fall”. I was thinking maybe she was being pessimistic. Looks like I was wrong & she was spot on.

Yes that's on my short list, will test drive before I lock in to the Z. Hopefully reviews are coming on the new torque adjusting system for 22 MY designed to improve its handling.
