Nissan's On The Hunt For Grey Importers

[philta]

THEY need to thank the "grey importers" for the popularity of the gtr, back in 92 when they had a hard time selling the r32. IT was the importers who started the nissan/gtr/s13-15 etc etc fan base. Who are they to heavily criticize them.

the r35gtr applied for full volume import, but it haven't been approved yet. (correct me if me wrong)

So has anyone got a reply back yet?

Driving a De-tuned GTR would be like going on a date with Jessica Alba, and finding out she's a man. True your friends wouldn't know, but deep inside, you'd know the truth and want to strangle yourself with you own intestines.

Ahh that my friend is a unreal call, what a good way to start friday morning

What I'd love to see now is an official SAU letter getting published in Wheels or Motor Magazine for the whole world to see. Points to raise:

- Australian Nissan fans eagerly await local availability of the R35.

- Global pricing announced in many countries; however, where pricing hasn't been announced, Nissan are working very closely with target customers to provide information... except here.

- Prospective owners who are tired of waiting for Nissan to get their act together have undertaken to obtain the car through alternate LEGAL means.

- Ironically, Nissan Australia now seeks to punish the exact same consumer base who are intending to support this car in the market.

- The ongoing alienation of the consumer base is due to Nissan's own failings to; (a) initiate the import approval process in a timely fashion, and (b), disclose information to the market. Not due to a veil of secrecy mind you, but due to a total lack of competence.

They've issued a press release saying they've had 3,000 expressions of interest in the car (they're actually expressions of interest in having information like pricing and availability, so people can start planning their next purchase)...... and all they've managed to tell the market is "yes, err, we're getting the, um what's it called? oh, GTR, yes that's it.... we're definitely getting it.... we think".

Not good enough!

The best way to respond to Colin Buckley is to find someone who is willing to (for the sake of the GTR35) park their R35 GTR outside Colin's office and put a FOR SALE sign on it with 1800 FRI NGE as the number. Would be a good laugh

Or place his number and get everyone to call him asking when they can inspect - they wont be happy with a 2009 answer when the vehicle is outside his office !!!

(assuming Colin and others at nissan aus will read this)

3000 expressions of interest hey?

Ok Colin, define "Expression of interest" for us please.

If you had 3000 expressions of interest that you could turn into sales, and didnt turn them into sales, you sir do not deserve a spot in a company who's main focus is sales. Im certain if you tried something like direct sales (where good reps are seperated from bad ones very quickly) you wouldnt last a month (feel free to prove me wrong, i can line you up with a product to sell aswel as appointments)

This is going to turn into one massive photochop thread much like the "small dick" hoon commercial with the tsutsutsutsutsuuuutuusuu VL...bloody funny.

Beer Bizzle, do it... park the R35 outside Nissan HQ with a "For Sale" sign... and a realistic grey import price.

I think it's safe to say that the Beer Bizzle has cases of beer up the wazoo!

But he would appreciate the gesture

+1 for doin it!

[Beer Baron]

lol, I would love to, but I'm a law abiding citizen and our old mate DOTARS Insider told me no one can legally drive an R35 GTR on australian roads unless your name is colin buckley, or his second in command, this bloke who's name escapes me.

YESSHHH MISSH MONEY PENNEH!
