Thanks matey will do

So with the additional OEM Factory Navigation option and headlight squirters is an equivalent price in US of $52,800 for a Manual model in Europe....wow, with that price we have better options considering we're selling the non-Nav version for $39,000.

I didn't realize there's that big of a $14,000 difference of a mark up for importing, tax ,etc.

Anniversary Whatever

I love my un-riced, White Sport Touring because she is soooo clean looking . That was the reason I waved off the Nismo,, too much, Badges,, "Vadges, we don't need no stinking Vadges" for those that don't know,,, a quote from "Blazing Saddles" seems to be appropriate here..........

Actual quote from the 1948 John Huston movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" starring Humphrey Bogart: "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!" (YouTube - We don't need no stinking badges!)

Misquotation originated from a 1967 episode of the TV show The Monkees, spoken by Micky Dolenz (http://www.rudebadmood.com/badges/mo...ov=monkees.mov).

It also appears in the Mel Brooks movie Blazing Saddles (YouTube - Blazing Saddles - We dont need no stinking badges..)

Parodied in the "Weird Al" Yankovic movie UHF, as "Badgers? Badgers? We don't need no steenking badgers!" (YouTube - Weird Al UHF)

Chicago 2010: Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition unveiled

I love the color! I am so excited.

So I have a a small deposit down with a dealer here in Houston and the guy assures me that I will get the first one that comes in.

I have this strange feeling something is going to fall through....but I'll try to think positive.

I really expected to have a delivery date by now though. They usually know 4 weeks in advance that the car is on its way. I thought for sure it would be here early March.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hope you get it. I'm guessing you're paying MSRP ? dunno...

I suppose. They are expecting to get one....maybe two.

I assume if thats the case then I am willing to pay MSRP. I understand there about 8 guys on the list behind me ready to buy if I back out. I am wondering what would happen if one of them decided to offer a couple grand over MSRP.

Some people have money to burn. I dont mind paying MSRP, but I'm talking myself into falling in love with a white touring with sport just in case.

Hey,
I like the color of the 40th-Anniversary Edition.
But I couldn´t find any pictures of a black example.
I´am searching for weeks, but there are no pictures of a black 40th-Anniversary. :shakes head:
Can anybody post some pictures of a black modell?

Greetings
Martin

I asked NMGB about some picks of one in black - given its the Black Edition here in Europe - and failed. All their press shots are of Quartz ones. I pointed out to my local dealer that they should make this very clear to customers when ordering as it could be quite bad for them to get an order for a black one when the customer wanted a Quartz one but didnt know the difference as all the press shots are one colour!

EDIT: OK spoke to the NMGB product manager for the 370z and there are no pics of the black ones apparently. In Europe they are released first in black to tie in with the Black Edition name, but there werent any black ones before they went into production, hence no pics. All of the demonstrators for Europe (and the rest of the world) were Quartz, hence why all pics are of Quartz.

Well my local dealership just got a 40th anny in today. They said they had no idea it was even on the way. They asked if I wanted to trade my Z in on it :rofl2:

I always wished for a darker gray color!

yea, most dealerships don't really follow up on anything. They only know how to sell what's in their lot. I saw it in person, wasn't impressed at all. I could see how upset the salesman's face was hoping that by me sitting inside a 40th anniversary edition would make me jump up and down and offer to buy right away. Instead, I wasn't all that impressed. Also, I saw the exterior color, and both my fiance and I DID see a little bit of purple in the car. Some people may call it beauty, but not for me I'm sorry.

I say just give me the Smoked rims, red caliper, red stitches and maybe even the red leather seats, but you can keep the 40th anniversary badges and car cover and whatever unneccesary overpriced parts they used as an excuse to markup the price.

Btw, I'm sure the Black Euro version looks something like this....MUCH Better...I got this from the photoshop thread

If this was offered here in US just like the euro version (offered with NAV), I wouldn't mind paying MSRP for this.
NOTE: Once again, this is not the ACTUAL Black Edition from Europe, it's Photoshoped, that's why you don't see the red leather seats. But I'm 90% sure it looks just like this - :icon18:
