Default Canada is going to be a few cars short...

I hope that there were no Canadians expecting a new special order Z soon.

Picked up my new 350Z today and love it. Only minor problem is that there are several dead fish in the back. Anyone else have this problem?

the 2007 Zs and GTRs have foam filled body panels that keep them afloat in case of such incidents. there's a TSB on that. its been known that Zs are heavy, and if you have a boatload full of them, the ship would easily be topheavy.

I wonder how many 350Z and G35 are in that boat.

If there are really 350Z in that boat, then there will even be less 350Z on the road here in Canada.

hmmm.....well...lessee....those cars may have been incoming for the US too...since many Japanese automakers do ship the cars thru the port in Canada to get final installation and rail them down to the US....

now, think of it this way...if all of those 4800+ cars were Z's, then that'll just make the value and COST of the Z's to go up due to insufficient supply....hmmm...supply and demand = price gouging...gotta love America...

The Cougar Ace is shown disabled and listing south of the Aleutian Islands, off the Alaska coast.

Listing? It can't list too much more.

GM bought a submarine and has resorted to torpedo attacks on Japanese car carriers to help their bottom line.

This is fitting, Mazdas make good anchors, they are always dragging behind Zs.
