In terms of Audi.... I don't know lol. It may be that they have a larger market share and sell more vehicles than Nissan. (if they do).

I don't think the sales drop due to the GFC is helping either. I'd assume that once sales level out again, more and more options will be offered.
"I'd assume that once sales level out again, more and more options will be offered.".........Yes that is what I am hoping for too.

i'd love to see what motor magazine say with the 19" on the cars... they've been complaining about it since day one...

maybe it wouldn't have sucked so much in the PCOTY if it had the wider tyres...

Rob46 - You will get the sexy 19" wheels if you ordered the Roadster.

Refer to new specs

Wooohoo now thats great news!!! I was already shopping around for bigger rims but now I wont have too. thanx mate you made my day!! I see that 2010 coupes still have the 18s I dont think that will go down well with new customers.

Seeing as you're in the know there was no mention of a usb port whereas the yanks get one will the system talk to and charge a 3g iphone ?

I dont think the Aussie specs get the USB connection. Also unless I missed it, no mention of the in cabin micro filter. So it doesn't look like the coupe gets any changes in 2010.

More interesting though, did you guys pay attention to the colours???? The roadster can come with the 40th Ann Quartz colour!! and also Titanium is gone!

Im guessing bordeaux is the cherry black?

If I was to get the roadster - quartz! lol

It's funny cos just like the 35th ann model on the 350z, Australia just got the colour (yellow) looks like they are doing it again....

Yep, that's unfortunate. I use my iPod a lot and it's annoying that it doesn't charge and that I can't operate it with the steering wheel controls

I'm actually enjoying using a few MP3 cds - atleast song text comes up on the screen and I can control it easily.

It looks like they have changed nothing for the 2010 coupe!

All they have done is taken off Titanium and Yellow. I think the Roadster would look great in yellow but they never made that anywhere.

So interestingly there are 8 colour choices for the Roadster and only 6 for the Coupe. I think it would look good in Quartz.

Most likely now changes for the Coupe will occur in MY2011. Atleast all us MY2009 buyers aren't going to be pissed off. I had no choice really - I wanted Chicane Yellow so had to buy in 2009.

Anyone buying the Roadster who prefers the 18" wheels want to do a swap? :P

I ordered the roadster in quartz, I was a bit worried as I havent seen one in the flesh but peeps I have communicated with overseas say its a top colour.
Happy bout 19"rims sad about usb port tho .Isnt there an I phone accessory that allows you to plug into cig socket in center console and use the rca jacks? must look that up The big thing about the iphone is I never have to cart around or even buy cd's bloody stupid of them not to sort that out this year I for one may well have picked a different car on that basis alone.

Also we have a warm to blisteringly hot climate so common sense dictates we dont get the aircon seats but keep the heated ones......not
But anyway I cant wait for the car to arrive, If anyone has their ear to the ground and can tell me when the roadster will hit the beach please let me know.
(salesmen's word I take with a pinch of salt)

Hot is an understatement! I've still got burn scars from my old Z convertible!

Btw, Dandy Nissan has already sold the one on the floor (that I took the pic of).

This is ridiculous considering the tariff reduction.

According to specs heated seats only so no dvd because its dangerous but a nasty case of sunstroke is ok.I had heated seats in a car in europe didnt like them thought they were pointless bit like the heated grips on beamer bikes just a girlie gimmick. its always easier to rug up to keep warm not to mention turning on the heater . Staying cool not so easy.
also you can have any cooler colour alternative for the interior as long as it's black. Im going to love it anyway tho Im sure.
