    Gtr Price Confirmed By Nissan Australia

    in VR Series - R35 GTR, Juke-R

    Posted

    Does the sales contract have an "out" clause if the eventual price turns out to be significantly higher than what Nissan initially indicated? I'm thinking it must have. For those who watch forex closely (i trade it actively), the A$ outlook is very bearish for the forseeable future. On Friday 24th Oct, the A$ collapsed almost 9pct against the USD to just below 0.62 cents. Against the Yen its now like 58 Yen. Its dropped 30pct since the start of October.

    Every technical indicator and currency analyst is betting that it will go below 60cents to the US Dollar and in fact 0.50 is now considered an achievable target (which brings us back to what it was 8 years ago). Thats potentially another 20pct downside to go. If the Yen moves in tandem which it should then it will be something like A$1=48 Yen, a whopping 43pct drop in value from the time Nissan announced the GTR pricing in early Oct.

    I wonder how many of those who booked the GTR will be willing to take delivery if it eventually costs A$240,000.

    I agree -- at 58Y to 1 AUD -- i read a quote saying that's its "as low as the second world war"

    I export and lock in FX gains when theyre there -- a forward exchange contract can be taken out to 2 years with major Oz banks -- Im wondering what term Nissan Australia locked their rate to...?

    Yen vs AUD

    10 year average 79.9500 , 5 year 88.37 , 3 year 92.79 , 1 yr 95.34 -- today 58.56 -- that's a huge crash, roughly equal to the lowest point in the last 10 years.

    An optimist would say it couldn't go lower -- anyone want to take a punt?

    Anyway, the issue is that the GTR's bang-for-buck status will wash away along with your superannuation returns for the year.......

    In case that d/l doesnt work:

    Since the unveiling of the GT-R PROTO at last October's Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan has continued development of the legendary GT-R sports coupe. And while details about the next generation GT-R have been few, one important piece of information was made public today.

    Mr. Carlos Ghosn, President and CEO of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., kicked-off the New York International Auto Show with the exciting revelation that the GT-R will be sold in the U.S. as the Nissan GT-R.

    As part of his keynote address at the International Motor Press Association Breakfast, Mr. Ghosn said that when he unveiled the GT-R PROTO, Nissan had not yet decided whether the GT-R would be sold as a Nissan or an Infiniti in the United States.

    Mr. Ghosn also expressed enthusiasm that the heart-pounding GT-R will build on drivers' passion for the Nissan brand.

    This communication is first in a series leading up to the launch of the Nissan GT-R. As part of an exclusive group, you will be among the first to receive information and special insights into the development of the Nissan GT-R.

    Getting out of Japan... (frequent updates)

    Justin,

    I see the picture now. Hey, Im 32, a devoted R owner but I dont let it control where I want to go. I control the toys in my life not the other way around. It has only been this way since I was about late 20's or so...this means there is a game of which autos/boats/bikes etc are but secondary items.

    Chalk it up to experience, toe squeeze your go-fast pedal, and create the next chapter.

    So ur phasing out of the place, I can see why. Come back and utilise your experiences gained for yours or others benefit.

    Always two reasons for everything ... that means Im either full of ideas or full of crap :P
