When exactly is the official European release of the Z? Is it just being shown in July or will it be on Sale then? Specifically Germany it be good to connect with a few other potential Z owners there for the future.

Should be released in July.

Production of European models was due to start at the Tochigi factory in December, but has now been delayed until April.

This means that the European launch, which was originally planned for April, has now been put back to July - but you may be able to pre-order this month (February). Talk to your dealer - there's a 0.1% chance they may know.

I already ordered it through a military overseas dealer. I will have one arrive in august but it will be from the states and no taxes.

I wonder if the european spec will have rear fog or any other differences? I assume so, I know for the UK guys right hand drive and probably rear fog at a minimum. Chubbs do you think that once its released in Europe that I will be able to add the Europe maps through the dealer? It would make sense

Yeah - the UK model will definitely have the rear fog light (it's a legal requirement and good to switch on when you're being tailgated by some moron). European 350z's had different suspension setups and different levels of trim, so there may well be differences between EU and US cars. Which one are you getting?

I can't see any reason why the Europe maps couldn't be loaded onto a US car's satnav.

I ordered the US spec I will only have a year and a half left in Germany after I return from Iraq so even if the Nav is a problem still useful for when I get back to the states.
