thats not alot of cars..

 

[gtrfanatic]

Not many GTRs under the tree this year I guess.

Does anyone know - are annual US sales limited by US supply or US demand?

 

[monEmakindave]

I believe slow sales during december and January are due to people waiting for the newest car to come. With the announcement of more hp people are just gonna wait.

That's because the supply of leftover 2012s is very limited...most are black edition and most are priced over sticker. I would have gotten a 2012 if I could have gotten a premium model but the only one I saw was for sale for $10k over sticker.

Are we talking brand spanking new cars or GT-Rs in general?

 

[MC]

new

 

[Vapiano]

That seems like a good number given the difficulty finding one this year.

 

[gilly6993]

seems on par with what they said they would produce for the US.....sure there are some new 2010 and 2011 sales in there as well....

^^ these two reasons. Expect a noticeable jump, probably in February, when the 2013s start arriving in force

 

[mcduck]

that said... do we have sales totals overall 2009-2012? Last I checked there were just handful of new 2012s still available so that December number has to be just about it.

 

[Tq-Gtr2010]

So buy new gtr in December , get better price?

Limited by demand. If there are more sales, more cars will be sent over. 2011 sales were actually a little higher than Nissan first called out. The number 1100 rings in my head. I think they were shooting low, and showed they could sell more than that. The Earthquake and Tsunami really threw everything off for a while, put a bit of a delay into nearly all the Black Edition cars.

 

[polivoks]

It was very hard to find a car come late spring/early summer. I don't doubt that the numbers would be a bit higher if the Tsunami didn't happen.

My dealer said that there were 400 lost in the tsunami. And i know i had a hell of a time finding white or red. Whites were no where to be found when i got mine in June. Maybe thats why?
