Hey guys, I have contacted Nissan and bugged the salesman when I took one for a test drive, we definately won't be getting the 19" rims here, I was really looking forward to the wider tyres and better looking rims, also no hard drive, although a weird thing was that the one i test drove, it had the navigation dvd in the glove box while i was checking out the Navigation... unless the head unit has storage for maps only??? not sure... It is a touch screen though 100% lol

Thanks for the info. Maybe the maps can be loaded onto the head unit? unless it was just another dvd being used. Did the salesman say if there were any other options available?

Yeah there may be onboard map storage of some sort.

I did ask about options and they haven't received any information as yet. It looks like there will be no options available whatsoever though I think Nissan has decided to cut costs and send the minimal combinations as possible.. Colours + transmission.

Having extras means they'll need to build and send more different vehicles to AUS in the hope that every combination will sell. This makes me think though that once the financial crisis ends, they will begin shipping options. Kind of makes me want to hold off getting one.

We should be able to order it with the options we want. How many people here are holding off buying it because they can't get what they want? I don't know why they didn't just provide the US package options. I might hold off until 2010 now. A car in this price range should have options.
