nissan could so bury toyota in the sports segment if they price the performance model right...
I don't think they can bury them, but the Z is going to do just fine. Supra 3.0 MSRP is a few hundred short of $55k. My guess is that the perf model comes in with a MSRP of at least $7k less than that which is enough for some people, but at this point I'm not sure how much it even matters. This car will sell itself for a while regardless of who drops out. Someone else will be there to buy it, and even if MSRP was higher there's still a lot of people that have no interest in a MkV (& vice versa) no matter what transmission it has or how close in price they get.
These cars are only getting rarer. I would take what I could get.I'm kind of tempted to bid on this, but it's the wrong color inside and out. ?
I'm in the same boat. I have dealerships selling that and the GR86 for msrp. I've been so tempted to just get this torture over with and buy it. But here I am waiting for the damn Z. Lol.
You and me both, bud. The Twins are GREAT cars, but I've waited this long to at least see what the Z is all about, and worry I'd feel like I settled (using that term very loosely here). Sure, I could trade it in and all that, but I hate jumping through dealership hoops.
Wut? Nissan is not burying any manufacturer anytime soon. In fact, they were nearly buried themselves! They're not going to bury the GR86. We already know the Z isn't intended to be a track weapon, so that is a pretty significant knock. They're in the sport touring segment, which has stiff competition. The Mustang outgunned the 370z in that segment by a large margin. But we'll never know the performance of the Z until....oh whatever day they hit dealership lots. Think Nissan is getting nervous. We'll have the manual Supra before you see a Z on the roads.
Hot dog! I don't foresee any delays from Nissan.
I get that, but black is my least favorite color on this car. Still shooting myself in the foot for not buying a red one in FL back in 2010 for $13k or more recently a silver auto in CA just 3 years ago for $25k. ?
