yea my dealer told me they couldnt get my pearl white the way i wanted it either. they even tried a couple times to get me to choose a different color. but i stuck with it and told them order it from nissan or find one. so they managed to re-route the exact one i wanted as soon as it his our shores at port. it was supposed to go to some other dealer. and it came in like 2 or 3 weeks, better than the 3 months or so wait to custom order one!

What I'm about to say is purely my own assumptions / deductions... so take it for what it's worth.

The U.S./Japan market was the first to get their Z's produced, while the rest of the world had to wait. I'm assuming they've now produced their initial target quota for the U.S. market, and they've moved on to producing for other international markets.

I'm in Canada.. and I've placed my order with the dealership. I'm told that Nissan is producing Canadian Z's right now, however my specific one (White MT with sport + nav) is slated to come off the production line late May/Early June. I'm assuming they tool up to produce one type of car straight for a period of time, and then switch to a different package configuration and pump dozens (hundreds?) more out.

Keep in mind that different countries have different safety regulations, and options, so they're not going to mix U.S. production in with initial production of international orders. I'm sure once they've achieved inventory that satisfies all of the international markets, that they would once again produce for the U.S. ... but who knows... maybe it'd be time for the 2010 model by that time!

So to sum it up... your sales rep just might be telling the truth this time... That's my guess.
