how many verts were produced in 09 to 10?
do they make the same amount as the coupe's?
i wonder how many coupe;s sedans and verts they made in a year. i never see other verts on the road but always see coupes and alot of sedans. i know the verts are newer but still pretty rare to see.

 

Great question Steve. I was wondering this myself. Additionally, I would be interested to know how many were MT v AT. I am guessing that less than 10% are manual & production for the US was pretty limited since the first cars appeared in late June/early July 2009 so I figure my car is fairly "rare".

 

i got a 6 mt myself. wish they had the new v8 platform since the car is heavy. rumour has it that it is gonna come out in a couple years. the fx is supposed to launch the new v8 in it like the m series. now that would be cool in the vert .. 420+ hp

 

c'mon bschurr... we both have 6MT AND from jersey... the state that isn't exactly the most vert friendly ya know... hahaha I think I've only seen maybe 3-4 other verts on the road and 2 of them were in ny... It's nice when people don't know what kind of car you're driving...

 

I think all those stats would not be publicly available though.

 

from the NY Metro area I say about 1500 of them are on the road here.

 

why wouldnt they make the publicly available
it seems that all car companies release production numbers if you look hard enough

 

Well sales figures are released, however is it released on a per model basis? I'm not sure. However I quick google search found this site

Car Production Numbers - Productioncars.com

I guess we'd need to pay to find out or seek some official source. It would be nice to know.

Infiniti Production Numbers - Productioncars.com

 

So I found this from nissannews.com , but no verts mentioned.

There would be a difference between production and sales numbers though.

Nissan/Infiniti News Room

The corporate sales page has a report from 7/1/10 but no verts mentioned.

i wonder if a dealer could tell you
it seems like something they would have access to

This post really did get my initiative flowing so I did get a little research and received some inside info that I will share:

- "There were roughly 4,400 2009 model year units made and roughly a little over 5% of those units were manual transmissions".

I was totally shocked at how low the total production # is. That means that Steve, Alan & I own 3 of the roughly 220 manual Verts produced in 2009.

I have asked for some additional data regarding Sport v. Non-Sport and other data regarding options - I'll keep you all posted.

 

haha didnt know that
and i wouldnt be too surprised about how low the numbers are bc i would bet that quite a few ppl that buy the g's are buying them for the luxury aspect as much as the go fast aspect. and when ppl think luxury they normally dont want a MT bc that is WORK. lol
although compared to my car the g's clutch feels soft enough for a toddler to push in. when i test drove the thing i was slamming the thing into the floor board with every shift because i was so used to my mustang haha

 

I don't like work, hahaha.

 

wow. we're pretty darn special then...

we still gotta meet up and do a photoshoot or something.. maybe after I get my goodies put on next week...

 

nice. just added it to my sig so I can be cooler.
