It’s that time of the year again where car manufacturers are scrambling to introduce its iconic sports car anniversary edition.  Nissan is celebrating its 40th anniversary model of the Nissan 370z with limited production.  So what do you get in the 40th edition 37oz model?  The 40th anniversary model starts out with a 370z Coupe Touring model equipped with manual transmission and Sport Package.  Not bad for a starter, it seems Nissan doesn’t skim anything this time like previous anniversary models (lame and expensive).  The color of choice for this year anniversary model is “40th Quartz” exterior color with the red leather interior.  These two colors are great contrast to each other, and really bring out the definition and tone of the 370z looks.
