That is not correct. The Base/Sport model is on 18's.

The Performance/Proto Spec is 255/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rears.

The way it’s shown looks like a square setup to me. I might be reading it literally. It makes sense 255(f) and 275(r) with its respective 19x9.5 and 19x10. I apologize.

Aside from color and interior choices, what other differences do you see on the specs, CAN compared to the initial USDM specs sheet? Weight was never posted for USDM so let's not expound more on that. Lots of posts here but I can't see any other differences.....

AUS has the steering on the 'wrong' side :p plus only a Performance version, I get that.

If you read further down the brochure where it lists upgrades over the sport model it shows that the performance and proto get 255 fronts and 275 rears.

Exactly. No different to the specs that we've been looking at for 5 months.

Literally what my dealer told me on the phone when he sent me the order brochure.
So if I have this right, if you do a Canadian pre-order at a dealer prior to or on Feb 2, and you are first in the queue, you just have to accept the one they get, or lose your deposit? Hardly seems worth the gamble, the odds are far from favourable for trim plus transmission plus paint choice - unless you are guaranteed to get your deposit back I would not touch this.

Hopefully the online reservations starting the 3rd will allow you to spec out your car!

With my dealer, my deposit is 100% refundable if I am not happy with it, as he said he will easily sell it to the next guy. We dont even know pricing yet. Yesterday he had 28 DRS’s.

I presume a DRS is a preorder.

So if you want say a blue MT Performance, your odds of getting it (assuming a dealer has an equal probability of getting any combination) are less than 1 in 20 - and that is with any colour interior, if you have specific requirements on that your odds get even worse. Good luck!

Also, came across this -

https://www.autoblog.com/2022/01/27/2023-nissan-zs-canadian-order-guide-leaks/

Ignoring the fact they link to the other forum (not to mention @jezzza broke the news first), the bit at the bottom caught my attention:

"Lastly, it appears that Canadian dealers will receive only an initial allocation of one car each, whether Sport or Performance, manual or automatic. The limited launch edition Proto spec, which has unique bronze wheels and yellow brake calipers, will be allocated to the most successful dealers based on historical sales. So, if you're a Canadian reader and would like to be among the first to reserve a new Z, you'll have to act quickly."

Where are they getting that information from? First I feel like we've heard of it, no?
Motor1 posted it as well, but they had the intelligences to realize that this thread predated the other one by at least a day.

Did anyone else hear about the rumor that the launch date was pushed back until summer?

I have officially placed my order. Rumours were right as the dealerships literally get just one. Apparently, I was the first one to place the order (I highly doubt I was as I was waiting I hear the phone next to my guy go off for pre ordering a z).

I hope he is truthful that I am the first.

Fully refundable as well if I don’t like the MSRP.

Super stoked!

Yes, I heard that as well. This the second time I am hearing it. I could see this happening. I heard east summer. So, probably end of June early July. I was hoping for May.
