Effect of Japan's Earthqwake on Nissan and 370z

tonmed123 · 04-06-2011, 06:17 AM

Does anyone have any information about the effects on Nissan manufacturing, supply of parts and such for the 370z. Is there any chance that parts will go up in price or difficult to get, considering things as the radiation contamination that is occuring over there? Will the 370z go up or down in price?

the j-big3 and tier1's are taking turns with the rolling blackouts and making sub-assy's and cars by taking turns. it takes 3-4hrs minimum just to setup the line so blackouts can severely impact output. by taking turns at least they can plan ahead and maximize output.

price will never go down.

Probably expect prices to take a slight spike to try and recoup expected losses while rebuilding infrastructure.
