According to the Nissan USA website, the nearest 50th Anniversary cars with three pedals are between 500-900 miles away. If a CPO NISMO manual in anything other than black turned up I'd definitely give it a hard look.
Anyway, for now I'm just not seriously looking after the Z search was a bit of a non-starter.

as a side story (always seems to be one of those when the princess is involved) her HS BF apparently is a salesman there, and of course was working tonight. Her current BF texted that she should flirt with him for a better price. I saw no problem with this!
anyway, saw a Passport outside. Kid liked the style with the black wheels (kept saying it looked like a Jeep. Not bad looking, but big. wife took one look and said it was too big. Sat in it, and still felt it was huge. And it is very wide (she was worried that it would not fit into the garage. that, and said it felt like a minivan inside. which was not a positive!
so, I now know that something that big (not just length, but height, width, bulk of the hood) is too much for her now. We did look at (locked so not sat in) a CRV, and agreed it was a much more manageable size. also much better MPG and $8k cheaper. But wife still remembers not liking how it drove (I think that was a CVT issue).
might get a few more looks in tomorrow. short list is actually on the short side now! decided to add one car back to replace the Passport (not that I think the new addition is going to make the cut) to keep it at 7.

So I went out and drove one figuring it might be a low hassle, VERY inexpensive way to give the electric car experience a try and get out of the X1 early, avoid dispo fee etc. I actually really liked it.
The model I drove was a 2016 REX with Tech and Tera packages. The instant torque is addicting - makes it feel fast. The 2019 is even faster with much better range. The regenerative braking is kind of fun and modulating the throttle and watching traffic ahead to do so isn’t all that different from stop and go traffic in a manual, trying to avoid constant clutching. Handling isn’t bad, but isn’t amazing. It isn’t a sports car but also doesn’t pretend to be.
The recycled interior and eco friendly bits would take some getting used to, but wasn’t bad by any means. The seats took a bit of adjusting to find the right spot.
The suicide doors would be annoying while S is rear facing. His seat fits amazingly well with lots of room in front, but he’d have to be loaded from the driver side. For the right price it’s fine.
Landed what I think is a reasonably strong $299 due and $299 a month for 24 months on a well equipped i3 REX with Tech, but the catch is they can’t help with the last few payments on the X1. That unfortunately makes it far less interesting to us because then there are other cars (with 4 real doors) my wife would want to shop. She isn’t wrong.
Model 3 is still interesting but leases like absolute garbage.

My brother IS a gremlin when it comes to cars. He just beats the snot out of them without remorse. A low-mileage Legacy wagon (his 2nd) I helped get him into many months ago is his latest victim. One fan was inoperative and he never noticed. Eventually, fan 2, working constant overtime, gave up the ghost WHILE HE WAS DRIVING INTO NYC. And of course the radiator cracks wide open while he was in the tunnel. Nothing to do but keep moving forward. In any case, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that his heads aren’t warped enough to cause an issue after we reassemble.

Nice interior, 18 way adjustable seat, so no problem there. Big gauges, had to remember speedo to the left of center, but a digital readout in the tach straight ahead. Lots of buttons, which I like vs. touch screen (which is also there) or iDrive/Comand do-hickeys. Better visibility than the XE. Ok interior storage, hatch utility. Handsome, too.
I drove it in both sport and comfort mode, noticeable difference. Not much sound from the engine, ride and handling seemed well balanced. Turbo lag, perhaps my driving style. But, I just wasn't moved. Nothing against the Macan, no doubt likely the best driving SUV, but I just don't like being Mr. Bus Driver. Not as Mr. Bus Driverly (duh, big understatement here) as the RX300, but while there certainly is an advantage to sitting up high, I just kept thinking, this is nice, but it's not a low to the ground sports sedan.
Still a contender, still haven't decided if I'm ready to replace the XF. If I do go ahead, I'll have to drive the XE and Macan again, back to back if possible.
Of course, today I did go sit in a '19 Mazda Miata RF... I was albe to get in and out, not gracefully, but doable. How many more years will I be able to do that!?
As always,
