The 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster is offered in four models.  The Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Prices* (MSRP) start at $36,970 USD for the 370Z Roadster 6MT
and $38,270 USD for the 370Z Roadster 7AT.  Also offered are two Touring
models, which add a 6CD Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription
required, sold separately), Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, HomeLink
Universal Transceiver, aluminum-trimmed pedals and power leather-appointed
heated and cooled ventilated net seats.  The 370Z Touring Roadster 6MT is
priced at $40,520 USD and the $370Z Touring Roadster 7AT is $41,820 USD.

"The new 370Z Roadster offers more refinement, quality, performance and sheer
driving pleasure than any Z convertible that has come before - while retaining
its great value positioning in the sports car segment," said Christian
Meunier, vice president, Nissan Marketing, NNA.  "Compared to the 2009 350Z
Roadster, the new 370Z Roadster features 26 more horsepower and cleaner
emissions from an all-new standard 3.7L with VVEL technology.  The Z Roadster
also offers an all-new exterior design, refined interior, all-new
auto-latching convertible top design, and technology not previously available
on the 350Z Roadster, including Bluetooth, XM Satellite Radio and Nissan
Navigation System with XM NavTraffic Real-Time Traffic Information."

Two option packages are offered (Touring model only): the Sport Package, with
19-inch RAYS forged wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires, Nissan Sport Brakes,
SynchroRev Match (6-speed manual transmission only) and Viscous Limited Slip
Differential; and the Navigation Package, with Hard Drive-based Nissan
Navigation System, 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and USB connectivity.

About the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster
While based on the exceptionally well-reviewed 370Z Coupe, that new Z Roadster
has a personality all its own.  Its classic, wide-open sports car style starts
with its automatic latching power convertible top, featuring a fabric inner
liner and a large glass rear window with an integrated electric rear window
defroster.  

The top operation takes approximately 20 seconds and is controlled by either a
center console-mounted switch or by a button located on the doors (top
lowering only).  The automatic latch system secures the top to - or releases
it from - the windshield header without driver intervention.  When in the down
position, the convertible top is concealed beneath a full body-color hard
tonneau cover, which extends forward to help create the Z Roadster's classic
"double cockpit" style interior.

The Z Roadster's list of cutting edge technology includes a standard
332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift
Control (VVEL), choice of 7-speed automatic transmission or close-ratio
6-speed manual with available SynchroRev Match (the world's first synchronized
downshift rev matching manual transmission), refined 4-wheel independent
suspension, 4-wheel vented disc brakes (with available Nissan Sport Brakes)
and lightweight yet rigid body structure. 

In North America, Nissan's operations include automotive styling, engineering,
consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and
manufacturing.  Nissan is dedicated to improving the environment under the
Nissan Green Program 2010, whose key priorities are reducing CO(2) emissions,
cutting other emissions and increasing recycling.  More information on Nissan
