Default 350Z sighted in canada

I don't know how many are floating around North America but I was surprised to see on drive past me in Hamilton, Ontario. I wasn't expecting to see one up here (at least in this area) until at least the end of August or September.

I was driving up a street and began to make a right and there in the turning lane of the the street i was going onto at the light was a chrome silver 350z. It was going the opposite way so i did a quick u turn but got stopped at the light and he was already through. I tried following but lost him. There was a nissan dealership nearby so i thought he might be going there. I headed there but with no luck. no idea where he was going. I was hoping to get a look at in person because i haven't seen it yet.

Anyway keep your eyes open cause you never know where they will start popping up.

According to Nissan Canada (as of Friday July 19), there were two cars here for media reviews. They were shipped back yesterday (they were here all week apparently).

Too bad no one knew about it, but typically Canadian eh.

I don't really get what you are trying to say.

hey fatboydeepak
I read on the forum that there will be a 350Z in Syracuse on the 27th of this month for show. I live in Buffalo and thinking about going to Syracuse to check out the car in person.

actually i found out more about this. The guy who has the car works at Nissan Canada and has had it for about a month now. I didn't meet up with him someone that i know did. he didn't get into detail about why he had the car. But he says that he gets to keep it until the production models hit the street then nissan takes it back.

Maybe nissan canada has a couple out there to get a buzz going or for testing? Strange things for sure. Does anyone know why an employee would have a pre prodcution unit for so long?

It's quite possible someone at Nissan Canada is driving a preproduction Z right now. In April, I saw a HUMMER H2 driving in Toronto at a social event, and that car just went on sale a couple of weeks ago . . .
