They are not waiting because they are trying to sell 06s. There were far more 05s left when the 06 came out.
Toyota is going to eat Nissan for lunch in the sports car world when they release the Supra! Nissan has become terribly slack in every area!
Supra is never coming buddy. It's just a pipe dream.

I do not think they will either, but at this point I just would not be surprised.

I'm trying to think back when the last time was that there was not an 07 model of a vehicle at this time in the year in the past, but I just do not recall this ever happening.

The Supra will just be a vehicle that is new and exciting and will outperform the Z AND have a manufacturer that is known for quality. I think all that combined will make a difference.

I dunno about that man... there's a 400 hp hybrid concept on the cover of two magazines this month. Front end of it looks sicker than **** too. But I still want my 07 Z.

By the time the 07 Z comes out, there will be 400hp hybrids out as well before Nissan decides to do anything at all. For a moment I though the picture on Nissan's website was finally updated when it said "The New Redesigned Z" since I don't remember seeing that picture; I'm starting to see things. But, I see no bulge in the hood.

Everyone is left with:

No price on how much the 07 Z will cost
No insight as to when they will announce the new 07 Z.
No updated Nissan website to even reflect what the 07 Z will be.
No truly truly new Nissan brochure besides a mock up brochure of old

And all we are left to do is speculate. Yet, the car exists, apparently it's being shipped over to the US. In fact, people can order it without having a clue what they are fully ordering. Great!

It's January 07 2007 and still no one really knows.

Thanks Nissan!

It makes me

I have been waiting too long, Nov. '06, for this new 07 Z to come out. I just recently joined this forum to find out if any of you guys have gotten any news on this new release. Has anyone seen them yet??

I asked my dealership, but they don't want to relinquish any info. They told me it will be available January '07, and I haven't heard a damn thing!!! I checked out an 07 STI, and that thing is fast. Besides that, I want to check out the new Z before I make a finaly decision! GRRRRR. When are they coming out?

ehh, all of these changes irritate me. I'm not in a position to buy an 07 anyway.. but I think the hood is ugly, and getting rid of le mans sunset just makes me want to kick children.

There was one change on the page that I noticed:
"Freshly tweaked for 306-hp of factory-tuned 3.5-L VQ power...", and when you go to specs it says VQ35HR.

Right on... that's new. Yeah I check this website every few hours and so far... that's about the only change I see to the site. What we are really waiting on is pricing... and the car to be on the lot. If the web guys are anything like the brochure guys, this might be all the updates we ever see to the Z page. LOL

If I had to take a guess as to why the 07 isn't for sale yet... it's because it's not widely available in the states yet (I think). Hawaii got some, but can't sell them yet. I'm hoping that is not the case a week from now because I'm about to stab the next dealer I catch lying to me.

They've also added "Available refinements like the Bluetooth® Handsfree Phone" as far as i know this is a 2007 factory feature only.........I guess they are updating it paragraphs instead of entire pages?

You are right....

Here is the change.....

Originally it was:

"Z—an alchemy of performance, technology, and design that shatters all the rules. 300-hp of factory-tuned 3.5-L VQ power under the control of the 6-speed close-ratio, short-throw manual transmission. Race-inspired engineering, like Z's advanced multi-link suspension. Available refinements like the Bose® audio system and Nissan Navigation System let you pursue your Z obsession."

Now it's:
"Z—an alchemy of performance, technology, and design that shatters all the rules. Freshly tweaked for 306-hp of factory-tuned 3.5-L VQ power under the control of the 6-speed close-ratio, short-throw manual transmission. Race car inspired engineering, like Z's advanced multi-link suspension. Available refinements like the Bluetooth® Handsfree Phone System, Bose® audio system and Nissan Navigation System let you pursue your Z obsession."

Hey.... they are claiming the 2006Z has 306 HP! Wow, now maybe I should buy the 2006 instead of 2007!

Now they have a car on the website that isn't even a car that exists

.....but come to think of it ....it's a the Z which I would prefer over the 2007 Z...
2006 Z 2006 with 306 HP and a hood like 2006. Hey....I think I like this car better Wow....I'll take it!!! Stop tweaking it right there NISSAN and send me that one!

But do you think Nissan is listening to us? NO!
