If you believe the preliminary spec sheet is the end all be all to the update list they provided 5 months before release then hey... knock yourself out. 6 nissans and 2 infiniti's later... I'm pretty sure that's a partial list. But hey that's just my opinion and opinions are like....

I like that the 2012 nismo has an oil cooler but should I wait a couple more months for the 2013 which I heard will have some upgrades. At the same time I'm thinking this price is too good to pass up. I probably won't get a good deal on a 2013 when they first come out. Please advise me. thanks.

Save now and drive it this summer. What ever upgrades the 2013 might have that you want will be less than you save up front.

Do the deal.

I'd like to see what the Nismo wheels for 2013 look like before purchasing a 2012 but probably not enough to impact my decision. Everything else is trivial.

I am pretty sure it is the same wheels with a gunmetal finish.

Thanks to everybody for the feedback. Your comments & perspectives were good food for thought. I have made a decision, It looks like I'll be taking delivery of a 2012 370Z NISMO in white exterior tomorrow/Saturday. The car is brand new with about $2,100 off MSRP & 0% financing for 60 months. No trade in. I originally was getting a silver nismo at a different dealer until I found out the birdbrains mounted the front license plate bracket on the bumper & then began raising the pre negotiated price. Holes in front bumper= me no likey. Anyway, I think I like the white color better, you can really see the pearl gloss in the sun. Please let me know if this sounds like a good deal. I hope for no BS upon delivery tomorrow. I'll post pics hopefully soon. Thanks.

ok hopefully the link will work with the wheel pics for the 2013 nismo.

I had a similar dilemma though it was between a '12 NISMO and an EVO X...and did not think the '13 NISMO was worth waiting for personally...Bought my '12 NISMO for a similar deal: $500 over invoice, 0% financing for 60 months.... One way I look at it, is that my '12 NISMO is essentially a lease that I get to keep after 5 years or less depending on how I want to pay for it... It is a no brainer IMHO. Go with the 2012, I personally have no regrets, love my NISMO!!!.... human nature always wants the next best thing... sometimes you just got to go with your heart... kind of like getting married

... just make sure you are in love with what you settle on....and your finances are in order to make it work.
