30K base price announced? [Update: correction by Nissan - starting price remains around $40k]

[Kwyjibo]

UPDATE 1/31/21 with statement from Nissan Communications Manager, @Dan_Passe [link to post]:

We apologize but this was an error on behalf of the spokesperson. The base price of the 2023 will be around $40,000, as previously reported.

Again, we are very sorry.

Product specialist from Nissan said 30k base twice in this video from the Houston auto show:

She mentions 30k base price twice.
First time at the 3:05 mark
Second time at 4:58 mark



Not sure if she's for real

If she is correct, this car will sell like hot cakes

We're still a month away from April. ?

I'll shit in my hands and play patty cake if the base is $30k. I really, really cannot see how that would be possible though.

 

[TiresAlwaysFlat]

As much as I wish this is true.. its too good to be true

 

[DevonK]

Fake news, everybody, fake news....

 

[Orion]

Nope. No way base is 30k. That's GR86/BRZ price range.

[Haste]

But yeah... there's no way...

It's starting to spread like wildfire. If it's not true Nissan needs to come out with a correction ASAP!

Maybe that's the big brain play at work right now ?

Nissan "correcting" it Monday morning:

 

[Lin626]

Just a thought, but maybe she got mixed up with the pricing with the 370Z?

 

[Go2ZZZ]

We already know but this is not going for 30k. It’s going to be 36-39k for the sport. 44-48k for performance. Just speculating
