Nissan announces pricing, minor changes for 2012 370Z

By Drew Johnson

Nissan has announced pricing and a few subtle tweaks for its 2012 lineup of 370Z coupe and convertible models. Nissan’s 2012 lineup of Z cars are available for purchase now at dealers across the country.

While the prices of most cars continue to creep northward, Nissan is holding the line on pricing for the 2012 370Z. The base coupe model carries over its current price of $31,450 while the convertible remains at $39,500. The high-performance 370Z Nismo retains its $40,830 sticker price.

Although pricing hasn’t changed for 2012, there are a few minor changes to note. Both coupe and convertible models now come with a standard oil cooler. Nissan has also done away with the six-speed version of the entry-level 370Z convertible, meaning buyers will have to opt for the $42,200 Touring model if they want to row their own gears.

Thanks to Nissan’s decision to keep a lid on pricing, the 370Z remains one of the best performance bargains for the 2012 model year.

thats it? Those are lame changes haha. I was expecting hp increase

 

Why anyone would buy a base vert when they could get a Nismo for 2k more is beyond me.

 

Perhaps they're going to have something really nice for 2013 and don't want to bother upgrading much on the 2012 models?

 

stock oil cooler is pretty nice at least imo

 

no price increase and a stock oil cooler is pretty damn cool in my book.

 

Thank you Nissan so much. That now makes the 370Z a perfect car.

 

Can't wait to buy one when I graduate and get a real job lol

 

Any details on the oil cooler yet? Is it oil to water?

 

The addition of a standard oil cooler is significant and long overdue.

 

I'm finally there! The promise land so to speak, haha. Now I just need to find a cheap 370z.

 

So the why do the previous 370z not have oil coolers? What is this for (besides cooling oil)?

 

Oil was getting hot, especially in track conditions.

To cool oil. (And increase motor longevity)
