Supposedly to be priced around $40k USD for the entry level models.

That might be alright... Might have to wait a year for a Track pack.

Maybe they can make a more reasonable "Track Pack" on this because the 350z one was horse shit.

"Finally, the perfect blend of cheap, cloth seats plus Brembo brakes! Just what no one was waiting for!"

Sounded like it bogged after Jim’s dad punched it.

Didn't that motorcycle thing happen about a week ago?
Live on the news?

I like that. Leather sucks. It's cold when it's cold, and hot when it's hot. And bigger brakes are always better.

I actually don't mind this thing. For me, it's more of a mental block that it's built on an ancient platform; the platform itself is actually pretty good IMO, it drove great. My g37s was probably the easiest car out of anything I've owned to get sideways... it had great balance.

As I'm sure I said earlier, I probably still wont buy one. But 100x higher chance now that it's got real power. Hopefully they don't put the garbage steering in that they did in the q50 (or whatever we're calling the g37 these days).

Oh shit, you just reminded me of that NUMB q50 steering. I had it repressed for so long.

I though Infiniti has abandoned DAS. Or they are just too cheap to add it to other cars since debut of 2014 Q50/60.

I hope they ditched it. I drove it on a 2015 Q50 awd when I was thinking of trading in my daily. It's what made me keep my car.

My issue was it just wasn't special. "Cut base options, add Brembo, label as Track Pack."

No upgraded suspension, no diet, no additional power. Are those improvements only for Nismo? Then why create pseudo track package?

Doesn't sound like it's DAS on the Z.

The new Z also gets electric-assist instead of hydraulic-assist power steering.

I put a deposit down for one at Fish Creek Nissan for s**ts and giggles. For me the most important thing right now is the amount of front camber available, previous cars couldn't get more than -1.5°.

*Bombardment of NegRep comes from strange anti-Nissan clique...

When do they expect them in?
I'm noticing Nissan advertising hard in NHL games and I think that's new. I think they're advertising more, in general. I wonder how they're going to do in the coming years. I think they're going to do well.
They produce what - like 16 of these junk, pseudo mini CUV's now? The market gobbles that shit up. And they seem to keep getting away with CVT-errrvrything.
On the other hand, the Titan failed and they could use a foot in the door in trucks.

I've noticed this too. It's like they were molested in a Nissan at some point. I mean I hate the CVT too but its avoidable, just don't look at any of their FWD based platforms.

Here's what the sales guy & GM told me:

- Only 140 2023 MY's coming to Canada
- Official pre-orders open to the public Feb. 3, however if you put your deposit down with a dealer (like I did) they were able to get the order into the que with Nissan ahead of time
- Cars should arrive at dealerships in 3-4 months

140 for whole Canada for 2023 model year? Toyota was able to move 400 Supras in 2021. This seems low.

I don't suppose they had any more info as to what what option levels are coming to Canada.

It's just going to be a lighter Q60 RedSport with a 6 speed. Which I like the premise of, their execution though I'm worried about.

This rep stuff is pretty useless if the fanboys are going to manipulate it like this.

Imaginary points (that have no intrinsic value) awarded to people by strangers on the internet are entirely useless. No need for a qualifier of that statement.

Wait so you are saying there is no Beyond Keychain tm attached to reps?

Agreed but there's no reason to be a little bitch when someone says something you don't agree with.
