2009 Nissan 370Z starts at $29,930

Originally Nissan said that the 2009 370Z would be "around $30,000", and today it was announced that the car will retail for, surprise, $29,930. Now go and take that extra saving and buy an air freshener for your new Z car.

At its press conference today at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan also announced a few more details about the sports car. Although we already knew there would be two trim levels (regular and Touring), there are more detail on how to tell the two apart. The Touring version adds heated leather-seats, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, Bluetooth, 8-speaker Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio, cargo cover and aluminum pedals.

Other options include the Sport Package and the Navigation Package. The Navigation Package includes the touch-screen Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with XM NavTraffic with Real-Time Traffic information, 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and Interface System for iPod. The Sport Package gets 19-inch RAYS forged wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires, front and rear spoiler treatments, larger Nissan Sport Brakes, SynchroRev Match (6-speed manual transmission only) and Viscous Limited Slip Differential.

The 370Z is offered in six standard exterior colors: Pearl White, Monterey Blue, Brilliant Silver, Magnetic Black, Solid Red and Platinum Graphite. Nissan also says that it will offer a special color called "Chicane Yellow" for the 370Z inaugural year.
