2022 Nissan Z

[Och]

What is happening with the new Z? I have only seen it on the road once, back in the summer. Are they not selling or very difficult to get, or what is the story?

Nissan produced too many AT versions that nobody wants. The ATs are piling up in dealer lots while MTs have $5000 mark-ups. Dealers won't even let you start the engine of a MT while I've seen unsold AT test drive cars with over 200mi. Having MT used to be the unique selling point of this over the Supra and Nissan should never have built the AT version in the first place.

Interesting. My wife has been hinting that she wants a new car, I'd like her to consider either the Z or the Supra, and if anything either would have to be an auto as we live in NYC. However, she is too used to SUVs, I don't see her in a coupe.
