Agreed. The moving pieces/variables in shipping fulfillment of the Z are who was in line in order, the size of the production run, that production run put on a sea can. My dealer told me that Nissan was using the pre-dealer allocation orders as the kick off to a first production run. How many units that is who knows. Why wouldn't you do a massive run and load up a sea can? Or, if you wanted to do an initial launch production run then perhaps the rationale behind that is to get the bugs out. Receive feedback? See how the first cars execute in the real world?
My dealer has been repeating since last year that Nissan really needs Z's on the road to push their new brand image. Therefore I assume our pre-dealer allocation batch will represent those cars. They would then "release" the car aka people see them on the road and can order them. Meanwhile they are wasting no time as they are manufacturing for the February online orders while the new orders come in.

They've already been testing the Z in many parts of the world, for quite a few months now. They have been spotted doing altitude testing, heat testing, one even got into an accident so they were probably beating the crap out of it. I doubt they will need our batch to test it again.

What I don’t get, is why have an advertising campaign for Mad March featuring the Z, if they won’t have it in March???
How exactly does that work?

Yes I hope you are right! And that does make sense. Those mules got beat. The gray one looked like it had been through a war!

now this is a real commercial for the nissan z
weird how canada has one and usa doesn't
US doesn't seem to care about this launch at all. At this point my only chance to get a close look at this car is the NY Auto show in April. That's if they don't cancel the event again.
