All signs seem to point to this actually happening in the next couple of months. Is it strange I still have a hard time actually believing it? šŸ¤”

I think demo/dealer cars (proto models) will be July.

Other models most likely throughout Aug-Sept (that's the best case realistic scenario right?)

It makes sense though it's not what dealer throughout the country are telling customers.

I'm awaiting a response from an email to Nissan Australia asking if they can provide any clarification for us.

Better than me, coz I used my brainā€¦I thought it had changed, but couldnā€™t be 100% sure, as old peoples brain is setting inšŸ¤£ā€¦.so I said nothing šŸ¤­
On the upside I would count May, June, July and August as ā€œmidā€ year. Any later itā€™s fourth quarter and should read ā€œlate 2022ā€ā€¦.still hope to be held onto that we will have put cars soon

It makes sense, but Iā€™m still holding onto hope that it may be earlierā€¦as Iā€™ve said a few times now, they would be stupid to not maximise shipping because it costs a fortune at present. 92 dealers, each with a demo means a minimal order and exorbitant shipping costs .
Who knows they may even go by popularity of orders in ā€¦..terms of combinations were really popular with pre orders.
So say blue with black interior had a huge amount of orders, they could bring In half of what was ordered and safely know they will be gone?
I don't know, just wracking my brain to see how they can do things differently to get cars here, minimise shipping and make pre order customers happy
Especially as that article confirmed that both the proto and coupe will be in the first shipment

We won't get a demo on the Tas coast. I believe I'm the only one who had even ordered one through this dealer. All they sell. Is Navaras šŸ¤£

Alright, Iā€™m a bit confused with the handbrake and cup holder placement for RHD setup, coffee will fly if that dude from vehicle virgin drives this (did you see how he yanks the shifter, gives me heartburn). It will get elbowed pretty bad no matter what you place there,

Yep. That cup holder isn't the best. It's the same one in the 370z and basically if you use it, your shifting arm has to be a bit awkward (manual). If you bought an auto it would be a bit better.

The 'other' cup holder under the centre console looks like it'll be more functional šŸ‘
