Dealer "Showing" in Toronto
Ok. There is a meeting somewhere in or around Toronto this weekend. My dealer is not going. I asked if it was at headquarters in Mississauga and he said NO. Nissan showings are usually at closed locations where the cars will be inside, away from the public. I bet if there are enough pre-order guys outside, they will let us just look at the car to see what we ordered. So get on the ringer and do some investigative work to find out where the shoing will be held.

Same thing here in Vancouver. There is a private showing for dealers only. All I could get out of them was that it was at a place downtown, possibly a hotel?

Hey JMPoulin,
Ordered mine from Woodchester too. Where on the list are you? In the first allocation? I've tried calling them too for my VIN but no luck.
The closer winter gets the more frustrated I get with the whole thing!

Honestly, it really seems like we know more than the dealers about this car and what's going on! I've talked to several dealers, each with a different story. Its almost funny.
When I ordered my Z, I basically had to guide the manager through the different models and choices!

I did get a bit of info today.... I asked about the convertible and how much it would cost...
guy said an additional $10K....
don't know if it's worth it but, if the car takes any longer I'm only going to get a couple of months out of it b/f parked for the winter (unlike you guys out there in B.C.).. and, buy the time spring comes back around.... the money saved in payments could be budgeted toward the conv....
At that point you can start looking at the TT, S2000, Boxters... heck, when is the RX-8 coming out?....
They better get their heads screwed on straight....

I'm a little worried my car will come in the snow as well. How the hell do they want us to drive it home it there is snow on the ground and the car comes with performance tires? Anyway, about the VIN, my dealer West of T.O., says that he doesnt get the VIN until the car is off loaded at port of entry (Vancouver). So maybe thats why no Canadians have gotten the VIN yet.

We always get the shaft man. No nice black confirmation envelope, no cd packet, and no vins till much later. Then again getting the Z at a cheaper price then in the US makes up for it.

Dont even say that man. That would really make me feel like a second class customer. On the other hand our pre-order pocess started a month later so production would begin a month later as well.

Check out the thread concerning webcams at the port of Vancouver. There's some information on there that I found on the web as to which terminal Nissan offloads their cars in Vancouver which might be of interest. NO schedules to be found though.

Looks like us Canadians are finally going to get a public viewing of the cars. 3 or 4 will be there on Sunday for Z fest...It will be the best $5.00 I have ever spent...and thats five dollars Canadian which is like what? a nickle U.S.
