That's a significant drop. I wouldn't mind a price drop, but more so with the Z35, so our resale doesn't tank haha.

Thanks Nissan for screwing over your past customers. This may get new customers short term but they may alienate loyal customers who get burned by this.

Now we'll see how much a much all that "fun" is really worth to consumers Makes it a lot harder to argue on price point. Let the battle commence

That price drop isn't going to make much of a difference in resale -- these cars depreciate by about 10% every year anyway.
But... it might mean more sales of Z's, and in turn that only improves the chances of even better (and more affordable) future Z's (and maybe less lame future 86 cars too). I'm all for this -- it's a swift kick in the plums to the competition.

If its only europe you guys need to understand it was ridiculously overpriced there from the begining. A used 2 year old 40th anniv at a dealership in germany was selling for almost $50, 000. My cousin, a sales manager at that german dealer , said most likely it will sell for $45k. The equivalant here would be about 28-32k.
