An update from Nissan Canada president, Mark Grimm, published in the Windsor Star (Sept 27, 2006)

This bodes very well for me ...

 

.... don't get me started

I've heard more stories about release dates than Wilt the Stilt had partners.

 

Hey ... I realize ... saw the MANY posts about it (including the ones I started ... ) But this time, I do believe the president of Nissan Canada to be a reliable source (as opposed to rumours from various car magazines).

 

I hope so Bro.....
That would really be sweet

I still wonder what "arriving in the spring of 2007" means.....
Does "arriving" mean in the show room,
or
"arriving" as in unveiling at a car show

 

That is good news, lets hope it is true. I can only assume that when he says "arriving", it means that it will be at dealers.

 

hmmmm..... just re-read the quote;

The way it's worded, with reference to the sedan in the same sentence...
it does sound like it will be *here* in the spring.

That would most likely mean Detroit for the unveiling, in January.

 

^^^^ That is the way I read it as well Ian.

 

Be still my heart... I may yet get both cars to compare

 

i have the factory reps from Infiniti at my dealership this morning so it's definitely not till summer 2007 for the MY2008 coupe for the U.S.

 

I want Chinese food






lol.. sorry

 

so... Nissan Canada president, Mark Grimm is making a false statement???

I can't believe we'd get the car b4 the USA

 

You're right we won't get them before the US. They obviously don't have a firm release date yet if CA President is saying one thing and reps another, although I'd have to think the Prez would have a better idea than a sales rep. At least spring or summer is more promising than fall.

 

Absolutely.......

 

again if he posted it up on the Nissan/Infiniti Canada site it would be a different story. Look at what New York Newsday's paper wrote about the 2007 Infiniti G35 Sedan -- 300hp w/ a V-8 engine adn I got everyone calling me about it. There was just a huge meeting with the Infiniti North America factory reps about the upcoming models and when they will be arriving for sales in the showrooms. People can just read the paper and read about rumors but I'll just keep all the rest of the info I know to the special few then.

 

I understand that Kenny, all this reporter bs drives me nuts...

But if you look at this article;
It is written as a first person, direct quote from Mark Grimm, not just a reporters account.
