Studs and Duds of the 2008 L.A. Auto Show

Stud: 2009 Nissan 370Z

What makes the 2009 Nissan 370Z a stud? DNA. Bred for performance by Nissan's best engineers, the latest generation of Nissan's VQ V-6 (now displacing 3.7 liters, hence the name), puts out 332 horsepower -- not a bad output for a $29,930 sports car. The DNA is also clear in the 2009 Nissan 370Z exterior styling -- there's just enough original Datsun 240Z in the new car to make it look like a natural athlete. Look for this stud to show up at your Nissan dealer in January.
