Hands Up all the Aussies

[Mud]

I'm a bit confused... does anyone know if they are going to honour orders for Red that were placed before they pulled the color . .? e.g. June 2022 ???

Only if the order has an SUO.
If not then your SOoL

Edit: this is my understanding from a few FB posts and limited dealer info. Nobody knows for sure

My dealer seems to think I won’t be getting a red one anymore. I have no idea what Nissan is sending me, if anything. Complete clusterfuck

My understanding was also no SUO = no red.

Once there is an SUO, that means the plant has a plan to build the car.

If your dealer doesn't have that for you, then you won't get a red (unless you get an allocation where its already built/cancelled order).

Some good news… Aug 1 my car was built… should be on a ship sometime in September and delivered in late Oct or early Nov.

(ordered end of Dec 2022)

So 3 weeks in the USA and I saw 1 Z.

in a dealership in mexicoof all places.

was checking dealers withing 100 miles of all locations as still trying to spotto a Blue one.

I live in the state of Illinois Chicago area and still haven't seen a Z in the wild. It's a major metro area, thought I'd have at least seen one by now.

Another constrained vehicle the Ford Bronco (COVID/prod issues/demand) has finally started appearing in greater numbers in my area. Although it was only a matter of time, given Ford intentions to build Broncos in far greater numbers than Nissan with the Z. My Bronco finally arrived two months ago.

I wonder if the Z will ever arrive in sufficient numbers to make it easy to get one.

Yeah I was wondering about the blue interior as well. From what I can tell the dealers are as much in the dark as we are atm

As someone that worked in a dealership for quite a while... yeh, for new features/spec changes, we are often in the unknown as much as everyone else. Just about all we get more than customers is stock info (build/eta/boat names/vin etc...).

Often guests would give me updates for new specs/changes

What a bunch of flogs.
This is just the icing on the cake for how useless they are.

Dealers in general?

Okay, disclaimer: This is the 2023 US brochure. YMMV.

The red exterior was not available with the blue interior.

Without trying to sound nasty? why post it here?

Thanks.
I guess I’m trying to explore other colour options now that red is off the table. Problem is I don’t really know what’s on the table anymore and Nissan in general seems completely uninterested.
I’m turning to the dark side now (Supra)

Best of luck finding a Supra. I tried and it was just as hard to find a manual for a good price. Let alone the color I wanted. Wait lists were crazy everywhere I looked.

I’m in Australia. Put down a refundable deposit, price can move a little depending on retail adjustment for next year’s model but that’s it. Azure blue, manual. Approx 12 month wait time. I’ve still got a deposit on the Z which is now refundable so I’ll just sit on that and see which comes first. Was never in a great hurry to get this car but the whole Nissan experience has been a disappointment
