The blue exterior is making it look a lot better than the yellow on the prototype car. But that same blue in the interior is totally ruining it for me.

I know 400hp is 400hp. But looking at that USD $40k starting price for the "base" model, I think the next higher trim -- Z Performance? -- is the model that "enthusiasts" would want. Stiffer suspension, LSD, and some sort of upgraded brakes. At that trim level, I'd be very surprised if it doesn't break the Cdn$50k mark -- actually, I'd expect that to get close to the Cdn mid $50k's.

(Also recall that here in BC, the PST part goes higher than 7% once the sale price is higher than $55k.

And then I'm gonna ask myself -- do I really want to spend $62k after tax on a Nissan? (For the record, I'd much rather spend $35 - $36k after tax on a GR86, power be damned.)
