I think this is the longest that he has been gone

Well let's not forget it's holiday season. Hopefully he'll be back in time for the launch.

Could be because there's nothing new, nada, to report. We need more tech updates really, if there is any.

Realize it's a shot in the dark since he hasn't signed on since November 5, but any updates you're able to share @Dan_Passe ?

I kinda think that’s what’s worrying a lot of people ….

With a launch in Spring 2022, I don't think we should expect any additional information until February, or after.

 

[Dan_Passe]

Apologies to all. Lots of activity still going on at Nissan - especially with Z. Sorry there are no big updates to share!

Correct. Happy new year to all - 2022 is going to be a great one!

It looks like the Zupra will finally get a manual. Any plans to one up Toyota?

I’m gonna go join one of those NASA sleep studies that lasts 90 days.. see y’all next year

Yup what a bummer so im guessing no news till maybe march/april.

Pretty disappointing. In the mean time I went ahead and bought my 2022 track car, factory stock but fun preps underway, the new Z takes a back seat for now, who knows for how long............

@Dan_Passe hope you are having some great and safe holidays.

My current questions are if you have any idea now where someone like me in PA can see and get the Z in person before launch? NYIAS would've been good as I was planning on going, but then it was cancelled. I do not plan to attend NYIAS this year because while I support vaccines I don't support tyrannical leadership.

So where's the nearest I can see and get in this thing before launch or am I just going to have to wait for them on lots? I'm 6'2 280lbs and want to make sure I can fit... In fact, I see a LOT of people questioning this now on Twitter, YT, and Reddit. Many of us concerned. If I can't fit, I'll just go buy a M240i or new M2 instead.

Also, when can we see some first drives and reviews considering this thing is supposed to launch in spring? If I can't see it in person, please get one out to "SavageGeese" on YouTube to review or first drive it at least soon. Heck I'd review it too on YouTube if I can drive it. Is the performance trim a touring car ior s it a proper sports car with turn in and handling?

Finally, when can we get some pricing? I think we've all been patient for long enough no? And of course I'm talking performance trim because all the must haves have been packed into there, cleverly enough. I'm still staunch that $45-46k is around the max because of dealer mark ups and competition. You come close to that $50k mark, you're facing M240i, Supra, possibly new M2 competition along with the Mustang of course. $48k for a manual and no active suspension and Nissan level materials and only 400hp/350tq (hopefully massively underrated)? I don't know...

@Dan_Passe, has production started?

It looks like Dan didn't see the question before logging off.
