Good luck with your car, I have been going to the dealers for about a month now and they don't have shi# on there lots but they all say oh yeah "anything you want" they can KMA. Well I am trying my hardest to wait for the 05 models to actually come out with some specs and stuff because if they are out and they still have 04's on the lot then I am just going to get an 04 but if there is a difference then you know what I am going to get.

 

Yup, that's my on the road price.

 

Canadian Dollars not U.S.

 

That is a good price if that is the out-the-door price, ie tax (GST and PST) are both included. MSRP and prep charges put a 04 white Performance @ $46,635. Add GST is already $49899. I didn't add PST yet.

 

I`m in Vancouver, and I got my 2004.5 performance for $43750, No B.S.

 

OMG... YELLLLLLLLLOW...

-Drop of Jaw-

Hope it isnt ugly yellow...

Axis yellow would be nice

 

did he tell you this before and/or after you decided on a 2005?

 

What was your 'on the road price'?

 

He told me this 2 days ago, after he ordered my 2005. I had decided on a 2005 since May, since they didn't have any White 2004's available.

 

He's feeding you a line. I have the straight scoop.

The 2005 Z will have a factory rear wing so tall you'll need to start reading those overhead clearance signs on bridges and tunnels. The wing will carry a flashing yellow light.

It'll also have a front spoiler so low that the city will have to pay you when you drive it around scraping up bubblegum from the streets.

It'll be equipped with a Cummins diesel engine.

And, oh yes, it will be available in highway department yellow.




Now *one* of those statements is true. You guess which one.

 

total bogus...

Jan-Fed their will be a very limited production run for the 05 Anniversary edition 350Z...

Yellow
305hp

see the thread "Anniversary edition"

 

And who's to say yours isn't totally bogus Bishop_Tx?

 

I don't know if it's just me but I have not seen any hard proof that the G35 IS going to get the extra HP. Are all of you just going off rumors or do you KNOW SOMETHING FOR SURE? If I missed something, please, lead me in the right direction. I would like to see it for myself.

As I have said a million times ( being sarcastic, but I have mentioned it a few times ), I bet there will be nothing new for 05 but maybe some color changes.

 

I'd like to see cold hard proof on the "aniversary addition" as well. No one can say "there will be" this or that until Nissan officially announces it themselfs.

 

See bold text in this article from infinitinews.com. The G35 is getting the hp boost in the "Sport 6MT" only.

2005 Infiniti G35 Offers Significant Enhancements [June 3, 04]

SAN FRANCISCO (June 3, 2004) – Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury division, today announced a number of significant enhancements to its popular G35 sport coupe and G35 sport sedan for the 2005 model year in North America. The changes include the introduction of a new coupe Sport model, a redesigned exterior appearance for the sedan and a redesigned instrument panel and console area with aluminum trim or optional wood trim on both the 2005 G35 coupe and G35 sedan.

Another major enhancement for the new model year is an increase in power for all G35 sedans to 277 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque (from 260 hp/260 lb-ft). The G35 sedan lineup, which added a new all-wheel drive version in the 2004 model year, also receives new exterior styling for 2005 – featuring a new hood, grille, bumpers, side sills, taillights and wheels.

The G35 coupe’s new Sport model will be available in an advanced 5-speed automatic transmission or with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The Sport 6MT model receives an additional 15-plus horsepower over automatic-equipped G35 coupe’s standard 280 horsepower, bringing its power to the 295-horsepower range (final figures to be released later).

In addition, the manual transmission design on both coupe and sedan models has been improved to provide a lower shifting effort.

The 2005 G35 sedan will be offered in four models, each equipped with a standard 3.5-liter V6, 4-wheel independent suspension and the refined exterior. For 2005, the sport-tuned suspension package has been upgraded with 18-inch lightweight cast aluminum wheels with 235/45R18 tires and drilled aluminum pedals.

The G35 coupe will be offered in three models for 2005, Coupe, Coupe Sport A/T and Coupe Sport 6MT. Both Sport models include a new sport-tuned suspension, Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (V-LSD), 19-inch forged aluminum-alloy wheels and drilled aluminum pedals.

“Infiniti built its reputation on a stunning combination of powerful rear-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles and outstanding customer service,” said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division. “The G35 has been a key element in our recent product line expansion and with the enhancements for 2005, our product momentum remains strong.”

The 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan and coupe with automatic transmissions are scheduled to be available at Infiniti dealers in North America beginning in October 2004. Manual transmission equipped models will go on sale in December 2004.

The announcement came during the Nissan 360 news media event, a three-week program in San Francisco featuring the automaker’s current and future worldwide product and business plans. At the event, about 500 reporters had the opportunity to drive nearly 70 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to familiarize themselves with the breadth of Nissan’s global product lineup.

 

Thanks, I was just about to post that !

rjw0501, most dealers know after us ( enthusiats ). I remember asking about Nismo stuff and they didnt have a clue last year. They really scratched their heads when I showed them the brochure I got at the Nismo booth from Hot import nights 03

 

cool, thanks. there's a chance your dealer might be misinformed about 2005 changes even as he's placing orders for 2005s. would be a pretty nice surprise to receive your car with 15 extra hp! but yeah it sounds like there may not be any changes.

 

also, the hp bump might be limited to certain trim levels (e.g. track and touring), or an entirely new trim level. in which case the performance z you ordered would not be changed for 05.

 

Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted.

Now if the G gets the bump and the Z does not, the only way I could POSSIBLY explaine this is because the Infinity is suppose to be the higher end car and they may want to justify that. Although the G costs about the same amount as a Z so I dunno..

 

I guess only TIME will tell.....sigh...
