<p>Nissan dropped the final cover off its all-new 2009 370Z at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/LA-Auto-Show/">LA Auto Show</a> today. While we've been looking at pics of the two-place coupe since <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/29/officially-official-nissan-drops-370z-ahead-of-la-debut/">last month</a>, today Nissan gave us pricing (base MSRP of $29,930) and a slew of technical info at the roll-out (follow the jump for the details). Regardless of how you feel about the new styling, it will be hard to dismiss the significant improvements Nissan made to the interior of the new car. The materials, fit, and finish are all excellent... especially if you compare the new car to the old side-by-side. Addressing poundage (another significant complaint about the previous-gen 350Z), Nissan put the new car on a serious diet. Paying close attention to the little things, engineers dropped several hundred pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing 350Z. The svelte standard model with a 6-speed manual now tips the scales at just 3,232 pounds (the 2008 350Z Enthusiast Model was 3,575 pounds). More power, a stronger chassis and a much improved interior. Enthusiasts will find a lot to like with the new model.</p>
