I am happy to present to you guys my interview with Dan Passe of Nissan that we shot yesterday. We were both tired from the reveal, but we managed to cover a lot of ground. A lot of what we ended up discussing really hasn't been talked about much.

A little bit about what's covered:

Full model breakdown
Supra benchmarking - who wins
How important the new Z is to the company
What she feels like to drive
YES he knows you want the LSD
Why this car was made
Dealer MSRP markup
...and more.

I want to thank Dan for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk to me. They really are listening and watching guys/gals.

Well done, Steve! This probably the best thing I've seen before or after the reveal. Dan is very honest and upfront. You asked a lot of great questions.

Great interview!

Was great to hear some of Dan's candid thoughts on driving the Supra and how he compares the experience to the new Z. I even liked the part where he acknowledges that the new naming scheme might be confusing since 'sport' now means base where before sport referred to the performance option. Really interesting conversation.

It wasn’t too dark. Honestly it was beautiful.
