Both the globe and Toronto Star articles stated this and also that is what they did the previous years..but I guess we'll have to wait and see to be certain.

$40000! Yesssssss!!!!
No financing for me!!

"The U.S. offers a base cloth upholstery option, but the vastly (if inexplicably) more popular leather has been made standard in Canada."

"Pricing has yet to be announced, but it is expected to start around $40,000. That's a lot less than the current base price for the 350Z of about $49,000, because most of the content in the optional Sport package used to be standard."

"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."

The dude was spot on.

btw
"trick new transmission" = SynchroRev Match

btw Russel Oliver is HALARIOUS and everyone go out and buy Fallout 3 FOR PC! (and then play it in your 370Z off the NAV screen that has a composite input!)

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. :)

Did the 370Z even show up to the Montreal show and if anyone saw it was it a Canadian version?

Another mention of models for Canada:

starting at $39 998 is the word on the streets from the Montreal Auto Show

Did you go to the show? Any word on equipment/trim/options?

Did see the 370Z last Sunday at the Mtl Auto Show. It was a red one with the Sport package (19" Rays, rear spoiler, etc) but no Nav. The MSRP listed came up to something like 45K or so if I recall correctly and I believe that included a 1K for PDI. Which means the Sport package would be around 4K. The car was locked and Nissan staff at the show did not know more than what's circulating on the Net w/r to the Canadian version. They mentioned Spring/Summer availability.

I did like the 370 from what I saw on the Net so far and I still like it after seeing it in person even though red is not my color. It will make a nice replacement for my 350 in the Spring.

What kind of financing deals is Nissan offering on the 370Z?? Please share if you know from your dealers.

I know the 350Z has had 1.9% for a while now....

I already posted this in another section.
I've been to two Nissan dealers in the GTA and both have quoted me an unofficial rate of 6.9% (based on similar cars that are new this year [ie Altima Hybrid])

My suggesttion - go to your bank. The sweet spot for banks right now is around 3-4% plus since to the dealers it's just a cash purchase now, you have more room to - I hate the word - "haggle" a good price.

btw SOME1 give me rep points!

Sorry i needed to point something out. I work as a sales rep for toyota and unfortunatly when you pay cash/finance/lease/ your sister pays/ your brother makes no difference on room to move. The only time buying cash would help you is when there is a cash incentive given by the manu. Buying cash does not change the gross in a vehicle.
