This is correct.

Deal?

Sadly, when you sign a NDA you can't say a thing.

This time it's different. Only 18 weeks to go :)

However, I have never been part of a consumer focus group.

Just one word of caution. My prediction of a Tokyo Autoshow concept reveal is pure guesswork on my part, so it may possibly be a big letdown. Anything that's not guesswork is also not allowed under the NDA.

Sorry I can't say more - I feel your pain.

He needs a go-fund-me page for the new motor.

I'm not sure what to make of those 370z pics but your carscoops article of that Z being benchmarked with the 2020 Supra, lends some hope. Below is an article from 2005 using a G35 as a test mule for the GTR. So maybe it's not beyond the scope of reality?

This is the 370 mule back in 2007 with a 350 body. If they’ve done it before, not a stretch that they would do it again.

I live in an area were numerous prototypes cars and trucks and trucks are tested and all of the are covered with some kind of urban camouflage or covering. It is very rare to see an uncovered test mule these days.

It’s to early. Thinking this mule is for power train only. That’s why they can use the 370 body with little to no mods. That prototype in 2007 was 2 yrs before we saw the actual body of the 370. The urban camo comes later when the car is closer to production.

Be that as it may, that is what proving grounds are for. Nissan has one of the largest test tracks in the Phoenix area. It vary odd to say the least.

Why is it that all of these websites/magazines all print the same set of pictures. :shakes head: You guys ARE so desperate for any news. That you will believe anything. If that's the case. I got some soon to be ocean beach front property in Az for sale. Buy it now before the BIG EVENT. After that. The prices will skyrocket. :tup:

I was wondering when someone would congratulate me on the accuracy of my prediction!

Nissan are being slower than I was hoping. Be patient, grasshopper. You will not be disappointed.
