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

[Haste]

I'm feeling optimistic, perhaps foolishly so, in that we'll finally get a price announced tonight simultaneously/a bit after the SB commercial airs. Anyone else?

Would be nice but I don't think Nissan will reveal the official price until late March at the earliest.

I wonder how much time we'll get after the price is released before our reservation deposits will be locked in. I don't want to be forced to decide before the initial reviews hit.

Well, it’s good to have dreams.

Pricing is all over the place…hoping not $40K US as Canadian that might be up around 55$K

They won’t care…if you don’t want it, someone else will

Whelp, not announced during the game. Wank.

They'll still have to give people a bit of time to decide or risk bad publicity.

saw the nissan commercial towards the end of the superbowl, but that's it. no other announcements. did anyone else see anything?

I wasn't expecting much other than a sb commercial we have already seen ahead of time. Again, beyond that...crickets.

Bad publicity you say..worse than massive mark ups, worse than stringing out delivery, ….I repeat. They won’t care

The latest info is suggesting late summer delivery for reserved cars, that will be plenty of time to see reviews and a make a call anyways. Those who put down deposits earlier at dealers here will get the first cars.

Some educated guessing within this article - https://www.slashgear.com/746846/2023-nissan-z-everything-we-know-so-far/

"The manufacturer has held both the price and the release date of the 2023 Z close to its chest. Retail on the 2020 370Z started at just over $31,000 (Car and Driver). It's likely that the new model will see some kind of price increase to account for all the newly added features. In August of 2021, Nissan PR employee Dan Passe tweeted that the Z "will start around $40k for the Sport model." That gives us a ballpark range.

Additionally, the 370Z sport package with upsized tires and brakes fetched $3,700 extra in 2020 (Car and Driver). Our rough estimate is that the 2023 Z Performance will cost at least $44,000. The Proto Spec should also claim an additional premium on top of that. The last limited edition Z, 2020's 50th Anniversary package, cost an extra $2,600, according to Car and Driver. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Z Proto would go for at least $47,000."

Yeah I predict the Performance to be $43,995

I'm curious why everyone thinks we need reviews on a car that shares a tried and true platform and now has a 3.0 TT that you can instantly dial up by a 100hp no problem. My dealership is tuning mine right away for me and has agreed to completely cover it under warranty if they do it. They have a track record withe the Redsport already getting 600 at the wheels. What review do you need if you can spool this up and get 500 at the crank? What car with that output can you get for under 60k without even trying too hard? With the reliability of Nissan and this platform behind it?

Which dealership is that? That is impressive if you can get another 100 hp straight away with zero warranty issues.
