Instead, I wasn't all that impressed. Also, I saw the exterior color, and both my fiance and I DID see a little bit of purple in the car. Some people may call it beauty, but not for me I'm sorry.

I say just give me the Smoked rims, red caliper, red stitches and maybe even the red leather seats, but you can keep the 40th anniversary badges and car cover and whatever unneccesary overpriced parts they used as an excuse to markup the price.

Btw, I'm sure the Black Euro version looks something like this....MUCH Better...I got this from the photoshop thread

If this was offered here in US just like the euro version (offered with NAV), I wouldn't mind paying MSRP for this.
NOTE: Once again, this is not the ACTUAL Black Edition from Europe, it's Photoshoped, that's why you don't see the red leather seats. But I'm 90% sure it looks just like this -

Same here, give me the dark gray color and the smoked rims and I'm good to go!

I received mine today. I will be picking it up tomorrow. I saw it in person and it is drop dead gorgeous. i didnt see any purple hue. I was parked in the sun and it just sparkled. The paint is metallic unlike the other color that I saw on none 40th anniversary Zs. I requested they do an exchange from another dealer because the one I saw had a nasty ding in the panel below the driver side door close to the rear fender. I told them I would not accept it even though they wanted to give it to me for way below ($2,500) MSRP. The red interior is hot. No NAVi or USB port in the sound system but I can live with that. It is by far the best color of all the 2009/2010 370Zs here in the U.S.

I have to encourage people that are considering buying (or even people that are not considering buying) a 40th Anniversary Edition to see in person because the Quartz color is really really unique and you NEED to see in person. Yes, I did see a little bit of purple under a certain lighting, but the car color is a really really unique metallic and under different show room lighting, or outside sunlight, that Dark Grey isn't just any gunmetal grey we see from day to day. For example, on a EVO XI MR or on a Porsche 911. It's much more unique. Just because I don't want any purple on my cars, even a slight bit, I don't want to discourage anyone to check it out. The Red Interior IS HOTT!!! Not tacky like the ones you see in a Porsche Boxster or any other red Interior sports car I've seen. It's really really gorgeous.

I just went on the Nissanusa.com and was able to see the NAV as an option (In the Build your Nissan) for the 40th anniversary edition...WTH??

Now, why would Nissan do that when I had almost all of the dealerships in CA called and confirmed with their Sales Rep that they only build it with 1 Configuration?!?

Just an error, someone did not tell the website programmer to remove navigation from the option menu.

Yep, same thing happened when the car first came out. I think on the website it stated all models got the aluminum pedals but the official brochure (and the cars) showed the touring only got aluminum pedals (and now the Nismo).

Nissan still can't get it right when it comes to Anniversary editions. A little cosmetic,price hike and that's it. Happy Anniversary. Boring..

Does anyone know where the plaque of authenticity is located on the car? I also want to know if they provide the production # out of 1000 for the 40th.

The plaque is in between the seats on the edge of the cargo area.

The plaque does not show # out of a thousand, nor does anything in the materials included with the car, to my knowledge.

it probably does not show how many out of 1000 because it's different amt in other countries. But I know what you mean...something like the Nismo right? Nissan probably figures that having a plaque that shows from what year to what year is already good enough of an authenticity. But I thought Nissan's website claims you get a certificate with the car too.

Yeah, like the Nismo. Oh well. I just wanted to know if I had #370 out of 1000

Nissan 370z Black Edition Europe

Loving the 370z

Just picked up mine yesterday, its so stunning. Had a 350z before, but this is in a different league

BTW - The Europe model does have a # of 370 numbering on the plaque! I think us Europeans need to start a challenge to find all 369 other Z's
