YOU get your facts straight before you try to discredit others.
i never got kicked out, i left, either way i could care less. Big whoop a group of guys on the internet didnt want to talk to me....wow, i sit in a corner every night crying myself to sleep over that.

And no, u guys werent talking about a thread made in 2009, infact it was made today and locked. I wouldnt really give two ***** about it, but since a certain person (will remain nameless) accused another member that works at a dealership and being wrong that they have a Nismo, stating they arent offerd in canada and to get his facts straight.... and then have multiple dealerships in canada, including 1 or 2 in Edmonton have the nismo 370z...really shows ignorance and disrespect to a person that is trying to promote the Z to the local community.

That member that works at a dealership was soliciting business without being a vendor on this forum, which is against the rules. That's why that thread is locked and his post here deleted. Now he may not be aware of the forum rules, which is an oversight that can be easily rectified. I'm sure if he chooses to become a sponsored vendor, the thread would be unlocked and he would be free to post. You can't consider that "ignorance". In the same token, the member (which will remain nameless) was not informed about 2011 Nismos. He's now informed and stands corrected...he wasn't "ignorant" nor "disrespectful" in any manner. His statement about the "fake Nismo" at Sherwood was accurate as well.

I think you have a chip on your shoulder against this nameless member because he happens to be the moderator of the social group that you were KICKED out of. And in return, you're resentful to all members of that group by association. That's neither here nor there to any of the local members. Anyhow, enough about you. Lots of Canadian enthusiasts are excited about the new Nismo that's here.

There seems to be a lot of different sticker prices from different dealers...rarity of the model, as well as supply hiccups because of the earthquake in Japan will certainly affect the selling price of Z's in general, and keep the price of the Nismo high for a while. That's kind of like paying a premium to be one of the first ones to get the new Z back in 2009. I'm sure by late summer or fall, when more stock is available, there will be a higher likelihood to get one at a better deal.

Depending on whether you want to mod the car, it may not be worthwhile to get one...for instance, what's the point of buying a vehicle with Nismo tuned suspension, exhaust, and aerokit if one plans to swap out these parts with aftermarket ones? OK...debatable point, but that's my opinion. Also, I've seen Nismos in person while in the States...though the look is much nicer than the Nismo 350's, the Nismo 370 is still a bit rice for me...another subjective point, of course. However, it's great to see more Nismo stuff trickling our way for sure.

I'm actually glad the 370Z Nismo is now available in Canada. It means certain Nismo body parts and other Nismo accessories will be able to picked up locally at your Nissan dealership. It might cost a arm or a leg to get it but at least it will be available locally, which is a huge step.

Far, far, far away. So long down the road, it's not even on the "to do" list.

But it is on the "bling" list

I've read 60 Nizmos destined for Canada. You can bet the crisis in Japan is going to have a huge effect on that. I would hazard to guess that exporting cars is at the bottom of that countries priority list right now.

It will be interesting to see what effect the crisis has on the Z as it's the only model not built in North America. This could push the demand and keep prices high. Man, am I ever glad I got one at the end of last year.

For those who didnt know, one of Nissan's shipyard was wiped during the tsunami.

I spotted a couple Z, G, and GTR in that pic. Who knows? maybe some of them were suppose to be shipped to Canada.

G and GTRs are also built in Japan only. All 3 are in the same town of assembly.

True true. I just never consider the GTR when I think of Nissan's mainstream cars, it's a wee bit out there.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced the disaster in Japan is going to have an effect on our imports this year.

I'm sure some of the orders are enroute, but for sure this will affect production and new orders for several months.
