¿July 3rd Announcement?
Hey everbody where/what/how are we supposed to watch the 'announcement' tomorrow on July 3rd. I received my package, but everybody has indicated there is a embargo till the 3rd, so I am sure there is a media conference call, video. etc.... I have been checking NissanNews and NissanDriven but don't see any updates.
Thanks.
Thanks.

July 3rd
It'll be July 3rd (Greenwich)roughly 8 hours before it's July 3rd(eastern). Can't we go on Greenwich time for just today? Did I spell "Greenwich" correctly?

I think I recall that SportZ Magazine is going to put up a teaser article tomorrow, however the real article will be in the mag.
http://www.sportzmagazine.com/Z_Home.html
The Nissan News site might be updated with the same info from the CDROM: http://www.nissannews.com
Also, the main Nissan site might be updated in a similar fashion.
I'm sure we'll start to see a lot of newspapers with information but I bet the majority of articles will be rehashes of the press kits.
Might be a month before we start to see any real objective tests of the car. I hope to be proven wrong though!

Recording Commercials...
We should start recording different channels. If Nissan releases a commercial about the 350Z one of us should luck into catching it on Tivo.

I still want to know what all the fuss was about. If Nissan really intended to keep the stats a secret then I'm glad they don't run the CIA. 
JmanZ, I remember a while ago you mentioned a 1hr phone call with a Nissan employee. You indicated in your post that you were told "why" it was so important to Nissan. Was there really some juicy reason related to the marketplace or was it just a perception that Nissan would attack your site?
I'm very curious about what drove Nissan to such lengths when apparently the rest of the world was marching forward with fresh info.
I know you gave your word given the information presented to you at the time, but, having witnessed recent events like the C&D article, the Motorweek show etc. etc. would you give your word again? After all, there's no dishonor in staying neutral.

With all these July 3rd posts, I can't help but think everyone is making a big deal out of nothing.
We have already received the very news we were waiting for...don't expect different numbers, it's not going to happen.
The press embargo date of July 3rd is just that, for the press. ALL the secrets have now been revealed, now it is all about the waiting for the car to arrive.
As any cop would say to a gawking crowd trying to catch a glance of something that is after the fact..."nothing to see here folks, keep it moving along."

I know why (my confusion). They always say "grin-itch" but it's spelled "green- witch". Thanks for correcting my incorrect correction correctly. Maybe I should switch to de-caf.

Exsilio: I just would like to see more pictures taken in different light at different angles. You're right, the specs are already out and as they beat the mess out of my '88NA I'm very pleased with that aspect.

I can field a lot of this in the meantime. You guys are semi-right in that we've already found a lot of the information out (thanks to some mighty fine screw-ups!). That being said, there is a little bit more information to be released...not too much since the meat and potatoes are already out.
However, the people that DID stick to the embargo (read: Not C&D) will be able to release their information. As a writer for SportZ Magazine I can tell you that we'll have the article up on the site as well as a 50mb video Test Drive of the car (and a 13MB smaller one for you dialup people). All the fancy exterior shots are best left for the big guys...we strap a camera inside and discuss some thoughts. There are some other things as well like the Autoweek video which I've already posted over at 350ZForum.com and the like.
There wont be any huge fanfare or anything, but a LOT more questions can be answered now and more reviews will trickle in

This is the right spelling... why post an incorrect correction?
BTW, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is (GMT -5:00)
