Now, back to topic. Today I've read an article on an german car testing website, that Nissan is taking the pre-orders for the new Z.
They offer two versions: Base and Pack. Pack includes leather, Bose-Audio and seat heating. 19" wheels is an option.
And now the price: 38690 Euros (!) for Base, Pack starts at 41190.-
Let me convert it: 50939 / 54227 US $
Ok, from the "old" Z I know, that Nissan modified the chassis and we had cooling fins for the differential. But, hello?
When I think on it, that I live in Austria, and we've got to pay additional taxes etc, the Z is not payable.

So, folks, be glad, that you live in the USA

Sorry, had to post this. It's really pi**sing me off

Sounds like a simple problem that can easily be fixed. Buy the car in the U.S. and have it shipped to your country. Importing a car into somewhere other than the U.S. has got to be a snap. Most areas don't have to deal with the BS we do here, like emissions, air bags etc.
