My dealer told me I can order one with an auto tranny, he said. " I didn't hear the 40th would be restricted to manual, BUT I read in a non official website that its a manual only. I didn't order cuz he just sounded like he wasn't sure himself. Anyway. I pulled my deposit n bought an 09 G37s on discount. I'm contemplating selling my 08 altima and getting a Z??? ( wife is gonna hav 2 fend for herself n get her own ride if I do? LMAO! It will either be a 40th ann or black cherry? Or I might not do either.
I hate when basic info isn't open. Like trannies or release dates. Just knowing about air filters n packages isn't enough info. Why the corps hold back lil thingz like that? I'm impatient for info like that. Lol. :)

Are there any pics of the "metal quarz" color for the Eurepean "Black Edition" modell?

Nissan should have put the Nismo rims on it.

Is the colour code out for this yet? I may have a Guinea Pig.... its an original Jade Grey right now but that silver looks amazing (and I'm not a fan of silver at all). Would look perfect with the interior I'm restoring as well....

Regards.

Nice! Thanks for the pictures. :tup:

Wow - the more I see it the more I like it. Love the interior...

I could live with a but hole im never going to see :icon18:

I cant believe the handbrake hasnt been sorted for RHD cars, Japan drive RHD but put the handbrake for the LHD market??? wtf why cant they have a LHD/RHD console for the handbrake:shakes head:

any word if the red interior will be available on other non 40th aniv. cars?


also that new extior color is drab looking.

I am digging the red brake calipers, but I am not crazy about the dark pewter rims!

.... I'd like to see you live without a butt hole - now that would be impressive. Not pretty but impressive ;P

MSRP is less than I was expecting. I figured it would be priced as much if not more than the Nismo.

Sure wish the 40th edition would come in other interior colors. Not digging the red too much.

:tiphat:

:icon17:

Its nice that its limited to 1000 units.

I already ordered mine. I'm the 370th on the list.

Hi,

in Europe its limited to 370 units:tup:

and I ordered one of them :ughdance:

looks like it has the same red stitching on the interior peices as the NISMO does.

wait it comes in red too? Id pay 40k for a red one jesus I hope that will be available in the US

put a deposit on mine today.

I'm the first on the list at this particular dealership and they are only expecting to get 2 of them.

This will look very nice next to my 1970 240Z, VIN number 00387!

:mad: wait they had a date of arrival or even knew about when they were getting one????? The dealerships in San Diego are clueless. One of the retard salemans didn't even know about the 40th year and doubted me. I hate car salesman with a passion.

Can 40th Anniversary be ordered with NAV?
 

first of all, do we know if this 40th anniversary comes in NAV as an option?

I'm asking this because the pictures I've seen have it (but then again, they came straight from Japan) The one I saw in previous threads (one in RED) did not have a Navigation....I'm assuming that the $38K price mentioned in multiple threads does not include the NAV as it doesn't mention it including the nav. I just hope that's an option. $38K is pretty much the same price as a fully loaded 370z so I'm thinking the MSRP should be more if you order it with NAV.

I got a catalog from Nissan of the 40th anniversary edition Z and I love the color. In many other sources it claims that the body color is a graphite and inmost posters it does look gun metalish - which I love but when I went on the Japanese Nissan website their 3D preview looks very purple almost lavenderish which I don't dig at all. I'm very sure that it the same "Quartz" color as what we're gonna get in the US. So I feel that I need to see one in person to know if this 40th anniversay body color is what I really want. The more I look at the wallpapers I do notice the background is in that lavenderish color which makes the car's purple less obvious. Does anyone here feels this way as well?

I really think we need to see more pictures of the Quartz color...I mean I may not need to see all the other features in person as they're already up on the web and i don't think they'll look much different in person....but the body color...I don't want to be one of those people that orders a $40k+ after tax car out without actually knowing the color is really what I want. What I do know for sure is, that Quartz graphite color shown in the Japan's Nissan Website looks light PURPLE (almost lavender) to me and I know for a fact, that's not what I want. Unless they're trying to promote a girl to own it.

MY dealership told me he would start the list and took a $200 check (just keeping on file, not cashing it) as a deposit. He said he thought he would have an arrival or ship date by late January.

Anyone have a better idea of what "early Spring" means?

Im guessing mid-March

I got one dealership that told me Nissan's only making 1000 units and they're only getting 2 in store, they said that I won't be able to "Order" them, I think she claims that Nissan is just going to send them as their request since the car is already fully configured. She said I need to do a down deposit. And Nav is available for this car.

I then wrote back to her asking how much down deposit be, and how she can guarantee the car will have a NAV if I "can't" order the car when NAV isn't a std for the 40th Anniversary Edition....and she never got back to me with neither the down deposit amt or anything about the NAV. Sigh

I heard our first 40th edition drop off in February. We don't require any deposits. If you guys have any questions or wants to reserve one, pm me anytime.

I'd just checked with our Nissan Rep earlier this morning. I hope this would help you guys out a little bit. Nav is not available with the 40th anniversary package. It's all only one spec- exterior- 40th anniversary graphite grey, red interior. 40th anniversary package includes exclusive paint, exclusive red seats/door inserts, seatback embroidered with "40th" logo, 40th exterior badging, floor mats, car cover, premium smoke finish wheels, red brake caliper finish and plaque of authenticity. The sport package is required on the 40th, and they will be 6 speed only.

thanks for checking that out for me......aww.....that's bad news....:shakes head:

The wheels and calipers are NICE!!!

"Nav is not available with the 40th anniversary package."


That should reduce the number of 40th anniversary Z's that are sold. Anniversary models should have at the least ..... all the options available since they are suppose to be Special.

I had the 20th Anniversary model Maxima. It had all the options plus a special exhaust system, a few more horsepower, 20 anniversary stitched into the seats plus other special interior appointments and ground effects. These were were not available on the other models. A Special Edition should be just that ............. Special.

I seriously doubt that.

That's interesting. I would have thought a loaded up Anniversary would include Navi or at least have the option to add it. I guess it's easier for Nissan to build them all the same way since the production is limited.

In Germany (and I think all over in Europe) the "40 Anniversary" is full equipped include the NAV. There is no option to order a "40 Anniversary" without NAV or without other specs.

I know it, because I ordered my "40 Anniversary" about 6 weeks ago :happydance:

Greetings from Germany.

Peter

Hmmm, you'd kinda think that Nissan would take this opportunity to increase their gross profit margins by making the 40th Anniversary models come fully loaded with NAV.

That would force buyers to order the "whole enchilada", so to speak. Kinda like what EBGames did when they limited their pre-orders on the PS3 bundles.

To be honest, the only real thing that I like about the 40th Anniversary model is the red leather seats.

Yes, I believe it's much easier for Nissan to have a cookie cutter and make them all as 1 configuration. I have several of dealerships that confirmed with Nissan's Rep it doesn't come with NAV. This pretty much validates with that 40th Anniversary Edition article stating the price be ~$38K MSRP. (which is the same or a little less than the MSRP of a regular fully loaded 6Spd MT, Touring + Sports + NAV) So unless Nissan announced another price for the 40th Anniversary above $40K with NAV, I don't think it's gonna allow NAV as an option. Also, if customers even are allowed to have a say in what we want (such as NAV or NO NAV), we should be customizing these cars already now because they're beginning the production in January. And from what I know, they're gonna just build 1000 units (not a lot) and get it over with at the beginning of the year so they can have the plant move on building regular model 370Zs. I believe Nissan is just gonna distribute a limited amt (1-4 per dealerships, some may not even get any) of these pre-configured 40th Anniversary Edition Z's and the dealership won't even be able to have any say in the way they're built.

I've so far called up a lot of other dealerships and a lot of internet fleet managers have absolutely no clue of this 40th Anniversary Edition and claim that their computer system is letting them input it with the NAV as an option - which I pray god is true because I want a 40th Anniversary Edition with NAV. But they can claim whatever they want, truth be told is most likely when they call their Nissan Rep, they're gonna find out they made a mistake on their computer system forms and we're not able to order it with NAV.

I can say this for sure, not a lot of people in US is willing to pay $2K for factory NAV, (I'm not one of them because I actually am in love with Nissan's Factory NAV and think it's worth that $2K), but $35K for a sports car is already a lot in most people's budget, esp in an economy like this.....not a lot of people can settle for an unpractical car like the 370Z. Unless they really have that kind of a money and be able to get by with a 2 seater, most people need 4 seats even if it's a 2 door.

Unlike Japan or Europe, they have the option of getting the 40th Anniversary Edition with NAV and the Nismo version with Leather and NAV because people would buy it....unlike our base model Nismo 370z - which I'm sure a lot of people would have got if it came with a lot of the practical ammenities that daily drivers would want (i.e. garage opener, electrical seats), but because they know if they do make one with it, people won't want to buy it at a higher cost than it's already expensive $39K MSRP sticker price.

So it's looking pretty discouraging, looks like I'm not gonna be able to get the car of my dreams. :mad: They won't make special request for customers to add NAV because they know for a fact people will still buy them like hot cakes. Plus, I believe not a lot of people are even willing to pay $40k+ for a Nissan Z. Otherwise, they should make a NISMO + 40th Anniversary Edition + NAV for $47K MSRP, and i'd still buy it! :icon18: But then again, I believe there are many people on this forum with a regular sports (Non Touring Models) that will disagree with me because they have a better way to spend that money on aftermarket stuff or performance only parts.

Well, this is just what I believe make sense to Nissan and I pray I'm wrong and they do make one with NAV....
