I keep forgetting there are non-USA people who aren't getting all the bells and whistles. Sorry!

The biggest disappointment is the roll out

Agree with being disappointed with the rollout. Back in April I stopped by a local Nissan dealer and a corporate employe happened to be there. I posted that she said that she would not be surprised if dealers did not start to receive Z’s until the fall. Looks like she was correct.

If you saw the original Z reveal video, The Z was being driven on a track with trees that were obviously in fall colors.

The reveal video was shot in the fall, most likely 2021. Originally we were told "coming late spring", then "summer 2022" I'm personally not in a hurry so whenever it becomes more readily available works. Granted with all the supply chain issues, it's not surprising that the delivery dates have slipped. it may be better to wait until 2024 to let any problems sift out.

I hear ya. The same dummy who gave the green light to the MKV’s “questionable” exterior design was probably the same guy who devised the Z’s tiered pricing. $41K for an under-equipped base car nobody wants and $52K that’s too much for what it is AND both tiers have $hitty tires too. If there were a Sport + LSD, bigger brakes and Michelins for $46K you might change your tune a bit. That car would have better handling, braking and acceleration (5-10 percent quicker) and represents what most people want. As for higher expectations than what my mid-tier model would provide, only the aftermarket can handle that. Toyota doesn’t make a Supra, but the MKV is great if you want a BMW Z4 with “different” bodywork (trying to be polite) at a deep discount, but the MKV is a non-starter if you wanted a MKV Supra designed and made by Toyota. If you want a two-seat, six cyl Japanese sports car, the Z is literally the only one made in Japan. The Nismo won’t be anything more than you’ve said, though I think the price will be closer to $60K than $65K. Regardless, neither car would be as well sorted as your Camaro. Unfortunately, Nissan literally can’t financially justify a new platform, and who could blame them with little chance of ever selling more than an average of 10K Z cars per year - likely less with just the two tiers as-is? If one’s looking for a track car, your Camaro is it. If you want a Z for its looks, the nostalgia and because it’s made in Japan, you get the Z - you’ll just have to be patient for that mid-tier option, though I fear the Michelins won’t happen because Nissan seems to have an illogical hard-on for Bridgestones.
