Official: U.S. 2023 Nissan Z priced at $39,990 Sport, $49,990 Performance, $52,900 Proto Spec (Now Including Exterior/Interior Color Combos)

SHEESH!

EXACTLY. A 4 door did that without all of the upgraded cooling, new recirculation valve and about 350+ pounds heavier than the Z ..oh and without that 9 SPEED trans.

They'll sell every car they can build for a while but I would've liked to see the Performance come in at least a few grand cheaper. $45,990-46,990 seems more reasonable to me. No real issue with the Sport price as it's pretty spot on with what a lot of us expected.

I'm holding off for a Nismo as originally planned, but I'd pass on a Perf @ $50k if I wasn't.

From all my friends that have Q50 and Q60's, their 7 speed is pure trash.
this 9 speed will destroy it.
Can't wait to see tunes!

When did you put in your order? Did you get it yet? If not, do you have an ETA?

Just wondering cuz I put in an order (request) for a Miata Club back in March, but I still don't have a solid ETA. I may end up cancelling the order since I now have an NA Miata....

I put my order in mid February. Did you get your VIN?
....

mine says arrival to dealer at May 30th and I assume they have to PDI it, or maybe the ship is delayed or something (I hope not)

Ok, so I actually got a call today from my sales guy at the local Mazda. He had an updated ETA of early-mid July. He said they'd collect the fully-refundable deposit once they get a VIN. He even told me if I don't buy it even after it gets shipped to them from Japan, they'll just mark it up and sell it from their lot, lol.

Man, I know I said I might cancel... but now that owning a brand new 2022 Miata at MSRP is closer to reality, I just might have to do it!!!

Gonna be hard to ignore that devil on my shoulder...

$45k would be the sweet spot for the performance
$41k for base with limited diff.

There is no reason to build a proper RWD sport car without limited differential!

$51k is too much for this car, I will have to fell back to GR86

lol i bet non of the nissan higher ups will even enter chat to talk about this

Dan's probably gone, he's been gone basically. He knew the shizzstorm that was brewing in here. $52-53k for a decent color premium, what a joke. And it's missing so much tech, quality, and performance compared to the other cars. Then Toyota came in and did them dirty with the manual announcement we all knew was coming.

Whatever happened to that mclovin guy charging 5k markups and saying it would still undercut supra

I saw him post one or two things since this debacle on the various Facebook groups. But between telling his 100 customers lines up his dealership might only be getting 2 at best, and even then they may go to another salesman customer or whatever... It's not going well. And now this stuff today...

A lot of the hype died down from this pricing and performance disaster. He won't be able to gouge and steal as much money away from as many people now.

The 1K+ paint is a kicker. But I'm still potentially in, if I could actually get a Sport version for $41k in a reasonable timeframe.

I don't think the MSRPs mean a lot initially. At least in the USA. Big spenders willing to pay ADMs will snap up a lot of Zs and rule the roost. The key point for me, is how long will the big spender phase last. And that depends on several things, including how soon and how many Zs will Nissan produce.

If we're sitting here near end of year, and Zs are still only trickling out, that's a sign this is not going to work out.

Yeah, that's the new plan for me. Just gotta wait a year or so and see what it's looking like out here. I picked up my 21' Supra in July 2020. I wasn't ready to buy at launch because of trying to choose between an F-Type, M4, or Supra. Worked out because everybody was buying cars that Spring and Summer or 2020. New paper tags everywhere! ADM wasn't bad at all. Only paid $1500 over MSRP.

I'm most likely going to go with the Sport trim since I have the bells and whistles in the Supra already. I really did want the Performance trim though NGL. The interior color choice is now out the window too since i'm choosing Sport trim(White on Blue or White on Red). Time to continue saving lol

And that he had 100 orders that he will be able to fill ?

This I do believe is a big difference between you guys and the Aus market.
So if you knew you could get a car at the MSRP price you’d buy ..yes?
Thats the situation we have.

So then my question to you is….is the hate for the price of the car really justfied? Or should that hate be reserved for the dealers who are really the ones putting it beyond reach?

The 1K+ paint is a kicker.

If you buy the current Mac Pro tower computer from Apple and want to replace the free small legs with wheels ... that'll cost you US$400 extra. If you buy the Studio Display monitor from Apple and want swap the standard tilt-adjustable stand for a tilt-and-height adjustable stand, that'll cost you US$400 more.

More and more companies are charging ridiculous extra prices for what should be standard equipment. It's largely a con so that they're advertising material can say "from $XX", where that price is artificially lower than their competitors' prices.
