What is with cars that make them appealing? It really depends. Some would go for speed, some price, while others design. But as far as Nissan’s cars are concerned, they are the cream of the crop in terms of being read under two categories. While it does not necessarily follow that they are keen on getting them immediately, the fact remains that these cars are getting a majority of the attention.

Already tagged as classics in their own right, the Nissan GT-R and 370Z join an elite class of vehicles placed under the “Edmunds’ Inside Line 2009 Readers’ Most Wanted Awards” list. One has been voted for the Speed over $30,000 (Nissan GT-R) while the other one was voted on the Speed under $30,000 (370Z). From the looks of it, high or low, Nissan has got one model serving conservative and the racing sector.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R has a starting price of $80,790 while the 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe, which went on sale last December, has a starting MSRP of $29,930.

The combination of agility and suppleness make the 2009 Nissan 370Z both enjoyable as an everyday commuter as well as a fun track day car.  The calm and smooth ride is disturbed only by the occassional tire roar on rough surface textures. The 370Z makes for a fine grand tourer, particularly with the standard 18-inch wheels and tires. The surface of the bodywork is comparatively devoid of distractions so common amongst competitor vehicles.

The 370Z shares its high-tech  steering wheel with the Maxima but nonetheless it makes a bold centerpiece in the dash. The large, clear gauges on the instrument panel, which resembles a motorcycle gauge cluster, moves with the adjustable steering column. The interior, which is all new, compares favorably with cars costing a lot more.
