Default RxO - how many 350z's to be produced ?

RxO word is that Nissan will be building 5000 Z cars a month.
Will this continue into the year 2003 or does the 30k Z cars a year still stand?

The number being thrown around is 43,000 worldwide. How the final allocation goes is anybodys guess. Initial 'internal' allocation numbers for NNA were much lower than the numbers quoted above, but may have been revised upward. I am sure there will be plenty to go around.

12000 seems unlikely unless that does not include the 7800 pre-orders. Even without the 7800 pre-orders that is only about 20K for the U.S. I know Nissan's original plans were to sell 30K in the US the first year and then 20K per year after that. Cutting back from 20K to 18K in successive years seems within the realm of possibility, but it seems unlikely to me that they will cut back the first year from 30K to 20K, especially considering the success of the pre-order program. Nissan's original goal for the pre-orders was 7000.

I translated some Japanese news articles using babelfish, and they were are reporting 42,000. Interesting how they worded it: 40 ten thousands and 2 thousands.

Wouldn't 40 ten thousands be 400,000? Just wondering.
