We're not apologizing to Nissan, but we were pretty flippantly dismissive of both the 40th Anniversary Z (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/15/nissan-370z-40th-anniversary-edition-announced/) and the Rogue S Krom Edition (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/24/2010-nissan-rogue-krom-revealed/). Why? Because both struck as as badge jobs. When we think of special edition Nissans, we think of V-Spec, and that typically entails more power and/or pumped up handling. But not with these two cars. Though at least the Krom gets a new front end, which sadly isn't nearly as eye-catching as the nose of the not-for-us 2010 Qashqai (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/04/nissan-updates-qashqai-crossover-and-no-were-still-not-gonna/).
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/12/250krom.jpgHowever, the truth of the matter is that our favorite ever special Nissan was the legendary Black Gold 10th Anniversary Datsun 280ZX (and the even rarer Black Red - only 500 made, as opposed to 3,000 Black Golds). And that car was little more than a plaque and a coke habit paint job. Our point? Nissan had better produce a theme song for this new car.
Anyhow, the prices of both the 40th Z and the Rogue Krom have just been announced. The Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition will set you back $38,860. Some of you might be asking why not spend the extra $330 and get the better-than-a-regular-370Z NISMO (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/17/first-drive-2010-nissan-370z-nismo-simply-rocks/) for $39,190? Well, Nissan will only be producing 1,000 40th Anniversary Zs. Other than that, we can't think of any reason. The Rogue S Krom Edition comes in at $23,940 for the front-wheel drive version, $25,140 if you want all-wheel drive. The 40AZ will be available in Q2 of 2010, the Krom in late Q3. Press release(s) can be found after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/10/nissan-announces-pricing-on-370z-40th-anniversary-edition-rogue/#continued), along with a little surprise.
