Possibly late arrival of 370Z's to US shores?

Jordo!

Seriously.

Anyone who makes reference to loss of personal property (and not even real loss, mind you) even as an afterthought when something of this magnitude is happening makes that individual sound like a giant, self-absorbed douche.

Now if someone makes it the main topic of discussion (i.e., the thread topic) -- that makes the person sound like a dangerously self-absorbed douche -- as in, this person probably makes a habit of neglecting the needs of others around him on a regular basis.

Sure hope I'm wrong on that. Maybe it was a moment of self-indulgence. Maybe it was totally out of character... maybe.

Or ... maybe it's Generation Y doing their thing

Dunno. Beats me.

I'll leave the horse's corpse alone now...

STATEMENT REGARDING STATUS OF JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE AND IMPACT ON NISSAN AMERICAS OPERATIONS


Following the earthquake in Japan on March 11 Nissan Americas has been working around-the-clock with its teams in Japan and abroad to assess the status of its employees and the impact on its operations. The following will serve as an update on Nissan Americas operations and is complementary to an update provided by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. earlier today:

Employees
All Nissan Americas employees and their families are safe and accounted for, including those on assignment in Japan and those traveling in the country on business. Some Nissan Americas employees who were traveling in country on business have already returned to their home countries while others are in the process of returning.

Facilities/Production
All Nissan Americas manufacturing facilities remain operational and will continue normal production schedules until further notice.
In total six of Nissan’s facilities in Japan have reported some damage to their buildings or equipment, including Iwaki Plant (Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture), Tochigi Plant (Kawachi County, Tochigi Prefecture), Yokohama Plant (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), Oppama Plant (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), Zama Operations Center (Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) and Honmoku Wharf (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture).
Nissan’s Tochigi and Iwaki plants will suspend operations until Friday, March 18.
Nissan’s Oppama, Kyushu, Shatai and Yokohama plants will suspend operations until Wednesday, March 16.

Vehicle Stock / Sales Impact
Nearly 70 percent of the vehicles Nissan Americas sells in the region are produced in the region and manufacturing operations are continuing to operate on a normal schedule.
In general Nissan Americas is operating with a sufficient days’ supply of vehicle stock on the ground in the region or already in transit from Japanese ports.
Some U.S.- and Canadian-bound vehicles at the Port of Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture and other vehicles stored at the Miyagi Service Center (Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture) were damaged due to the earthquake and/or tsunami.
Some Infiniti models and Nissan GTR and 370Z may experience delays in shipment to the U.S. and Canada with full impact still being assessed.
A shipment of more than 600 Nissan LEAFs destined for the U.S. left port in Japan on March 10, just prior to the earthquake, and will arrive as scheduled. Future impact, if any, on Nissan LEAF supply continues to being assessed.

Well, I placed my Z order the first part of Feb. and I figure I'm going to wait as long as it takes because backing out at this point sure wouldn't help their already struggling economy. The main thing is the PEOPLE in Japan getting their damaged lives back in order and morning the loss of their loved ones.

poorazn

when was it scheduled to be delivered?

Bodytechz

It was scheduled to be delivered at the end of April or first part of May.

hope all will be ok in japan and the people..

on the other side of things....Nissan has told me there will be delays! min of 8-12 weeks for delivery and they will not break the purchase agreement until it runs out.

I hope the best for the Japanese people.

My curious question is "about the radiation".

Are any of the Nissan manufacturing plants
near any of these defected nuclear plants ?

Any concern about possible Nissan vehicles being contaminated ?

(or any other makes - toyota, honda) being contaminated ?

Like I said .... just curious ....

Thanks Tom Geer in Tennessee.

Depends on which way the wind is blowing. Nothing will be able to be exported with out being tested first!

I hope the best for the Japanese people and all non-Japanese there as well.

Probably not too many 2011s getting shipped anytime soon. Why worry about that? Then again, I already have my 370 Zed.

In the aftermath of the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake of March 11, the Japan’s great automakers are mostly at a standstill. Supply chains, transport and shipping facilities have all been affected by the quake and subsequent tsunami. There’s also rolling blackouts in some areas due to an energy shortage resulting from damage to nuclear plants. How are the automakers responding to the worst quake in Japanese history?

◦Toyota is donating 300 million yen to relief and recovery efforts and has suspended all manufacturing nationwide. President Akio Toyoda issued a brief message. “I offer my prayers to all those who lost their lives in the March 11 Tohoku Earthquake and its ensuing aftermath, as well as my sympathy to the survivors and their families. Not only is the struck region one of our production bases, those directly hit and vastly affected include our dealers, suppliers and numerous other partners. With life the number-one priority, we want to do all we can to contribute to the relief efforts. Determined to provide hope for not only those suffering and forced to undergo extreme hardships, but also for the region overall, we will do our utmost toward the realization of recovery.”

◦Honda is donating 300 million yen, 1,000 generators and 5,000 gas canisters toward the relief and recovery effort. Staff is being dispatched to instruct on generator operation. It will suspend production in factories at Sayama, Ogawa, Tochigi, Hamamatsu, Suzuka and Kumamoto. All regular operations at Honda facilities in the Tochigi area, including R&D centers, will be suspended as well. One Honda employee was killed at a Tochigi R&D center when a wall collapsed.

◦Nissan is donating 30 million yen, trucks, forklifts and medical supplies to relief and recovery efforts. It has suspended operations at its plants in Iwaki, Tochigi, Yokohama, Oppama, and Zama. Small fires broke out at the Iwaki and Tochigi plants but have been put out and the others have reported some damage. 1,300 US-bound vehicles were damaged at the port of Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture. 1,000 vehicles stored in Miyagi Prefecture were damaged by the tsunami (see image) Because of a shut-down of train and transportation systems, about 1,500 employees had to spend the night at work. Nissan also opened its Yokohama headquarters building to the public, providing shelter for at least 150 people. All Nissan Gallery showrooms will be closed and all dealership signboard lights will be blacked out to save electricity.

◦Mitsubishi is donating 30 million yen to victims and will supply vehicles to local authorities in damaged areas. MMC has facilities in Nagoya, Gifu, and Okayama, all quite a distance from the affected regions. However, some suppliers have reported damages. Production may resume as early as March 16.

◦Mazda is donating 30 million yen to relief and recovery and efforts. Although Mazda’s production facilities in Hofu and Hiroshima are the farthest from the quake of any automaker, it is taking precautions and closing plants until March 16.
