"Only one model, called "Touring," will be offered at launch. It will have two options: a Sport package with aerodynamic body kit, 19-inch wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires and a trick new transmission. The second option is a NAVI package with hard disc-based satellite navigation iPod interface and Nissan's 9.3 gig Music Box digital music storage system."

"trick new transmission" = SynchroRev Match
Excellent! Thank you.

If Canadian-spec car arrives in US-equivalent Touring trim, Americans will be importing them from Canada.
Seriously, US Touring model is US$3,530 more than base, so if we get all that equipment for our base price of $39,998, Nissan would go a long way to please its new customers.

So, let's speculate on the price of the Sport Package. It's US$3000 south of the border, so up here it should arrive around CAD$3,483. I just used 16% higher price since that is the difference between US Touring and our base.

That would put Canadian Touring with Sport Package at $43,481.

Let's see what happens. I can't be much longer before we get official scoop.
