Bonzo

Me too. I mean, it's totally possible. Thinking worst case, say, what if all the Rays wheels got trashed in the tsunami? If they want to make cars they have to use something, right? So who's to say they don't jump to another brand or style wheel to keep production going? I realize this may be an extreme example, and its certainly pessimistic, but it's possible, especially with other smaller parts.

My example about Touring could just as easily go the other way, where only NON-Touring cars could be ordered. Like what if they are out of Bose radios or out of leather seats? Just saying it's possible, and it certainly happens in the car industry.

On another note, I think someone up there is messing with me. A dealer by me has the exact car I want on the lot, BUT, it HAS the Touring package, which I don't want.

Just to explain for those people who are saying why.... I'm not going to knock anyone who wants or loves or must have the touring package, but it's not for me. It's not that I don't like leather, but heated seats are a total waste for me (have had them in my Murano since 2004 and never use them), Bose stereo's are basically junk in the audiophile world, and I can buy the cargo cover thing separate for like $250 - $300 if I want it. So, $4500 - $300 for the cover, - $1000 for an aftermarket radio/DVD/speakers w/backup camera (that Bose thing isn't worth more than a $500 charge), and you get Nissan charging $3200-$3700 for 2 leather seats. A total rip off if you ask me. It's all in what you deem necessary, and if you think it's a fair price. I might consider getting the Touring package if it were only $1500, or maybe on the outside $2000. But $4500 is crazy money to me.
