GTR Release Date Pushed Back
The dealer release date has been pushed back from mid June and is now scheduled for July 7. I know this will disappoint a bunch of people who have one on order, but figured i would pass along the info.

Delays just happen, I guess. It may have something to do with orders exceeding initial guesstimates.
It could be for any number of reasons. There is talk that lots of cars will not be delivered to USA customers until fall, winter, and into calendar year 2009.
If you've already pre-ordered I'd just sort of sit back and just wait it out.

The bulletin really didn't list a reason. I am not suprised though. I thought it was weird that they were going to release the car in June, when the sales training isn't even until mid June. I wouldn't be suprised to see it get pushed back even further. Also, I don't think they have decided how they are going to ship them yet. If they ship them in enclosed trailers it could slow the process down even more. I hope not.

I wasn't considering the actual mode of shipping. They are actually doing as you suggest; ie, enclosed containers. There is even a surcharge for this as part of the price, IIRC word on the street is $700-$1200 extra for shipping container service.
It just seems these projected dates are moved farther and farther into the future. The MY2010 will already be out before many MY09s are actually in the possession of customers. That's at least what it appears from this point.

Unfortunately, I might have to add a few years wait to both cars in my sig as I might be extended overseas... That could be good for the price on the GT-R though. However, if the mark-ups don't cease and desist,
I will have a Japanese one shipped back before I depart. That is how serious I am about not paying the mark-ups and about getting a GT-R. If the yen rate is right I could actually save a few dollars.
