I choose: 6-speed Manual, GT, Side Airbags, Kick plates, cargo.
No Navi. (will do that my self).
They called it into the ordering center and confirmed the options/placed
the order while I was there. Neat.
Today I went to www.nissanusa.com (because I'm obsessed) and see that the 2008 Z is on there to "build". Cool.
When you choose the GT now, and 6-speed manual, You MUST also include the Navi-Side and curtain airbags. I unchecked the Navigation and it tells you that will force the config to be a 5speed automatic :-/
It also looks like if you de-select the airbags it removes the navi.. weird.
I went for the side curtains cause any safety I can get is a plus...
On average a manual transmission is cheaper to purchase then an-automatic. I assume that they force the manual GT's to come with more options so that you spend just as much money as the automatic... It's probably a matter of them cutting costs by limiting config options..who knows.
I'm wondering if my 08GT will come with a Navigation option... even though I didn't order that part.. would be neat supprise I guess.

thanks for the added input. interesting thought. I mean since I am sure there are some/most stages of assembly done by humans, will they; stop production to ask you if you want( agree to) the NAV, do as you request because, **** it, "we just have to put this plastic piece on instead of the other one that houses the NAV", or jsut put the NAV in and say *** you, you still gonna buy it.
Let us know what happens..
