Nissan 370Z Coupe Receives a “2010 Best Resale Value Award” from Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com

(12.18.2009 , FRANKLIN, Tenn.) The 2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe has been named Best Resale Value in its class by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. The Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards recognize automakers' outstanding achievements in producing vehicles that best retain their value.

In selecting the latest version of Nissan’s iconic Z®, the editors from Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com stated:

“Regularly compared to performance coupes and convertibles that would cost you an additional five figures, the Nissan 370Z can be considered a bargain to begin with, which can be an important part of the resale value equation. Redesigned for 2009, Nissan's latest Z® is the most powerful, most fun, most desirable iteration yet. Whether for a coastal cruise or a day at the track, we'd be happy to take one - new or used.”

The 2010 370Z Coupe, which is on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide, is offered in two models, 370Z and 370Z Touring, each available with a standard 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) and choice of 6-speed manual transmission with an available SynchroRev Match™ synchronized downshift rev matching system or a 7-speed automatic transmission. The starting
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price* (M.S.R.P.) is $29,990 USD (370Z 6MT model).

A special 40th Anniversary Edition will be available beginning in spring 2010. It includes unique red leather-appointed seats and red door panel inserts; 40th Anniversary seatback embroidery, floor mats, car cover and exterior badging; premium smoke finish wheels and red brake caliper finish; and an exclusive “40th Quartz” exterior paint color. The 40th Anniversary Package is offered only on the 370Z Touring manual transmission model.

The Z® is also available in a 370Z Roadster model, with fully automatic cloth convertible top; and a NISMO 370Z model, offering 350 horsepower, racing-inspired exterior and interior styling, a specially tuned suspension and unique super-lightweight forged alloy wheels.
