 Nissan boasts that the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster's glass rear window is larger than the one on the outgoing 350Z convertible, which should help with rear sightlines when you have to have to raise the top. While you're looking back, though, you'll see something far more interesting than the rear defroster. Like most convertibles, the 370Z Roadster comes with a wind deflector between the seats. But unlike most other deflector setups, Nissan has permanently mounted it in the car and fashioned it out of glass with a "Z" logo etched into it -- a classy touch.

If you really want to drive/tan in style, the Touring edition will load you up with just about every feature you could want, but performance enthusiasts will likely be more interested in the Sport Package. It upgrades you from 18-in. wheels wearing 225/50R18 front and 245/45R18 rear Bridgestone Potenas on the base car to 19-in. RAYS wheels wearing 245/40R19 Potenzas front and 275/35R19 rear. It'll also upgrade your brakes from 12.6-in. rotors on all corners standard to 14.0-in. rotors in front and 13.8-in. rotors in the rear. Best of all, the Sport Package adds a limited-slip differential.

Any Roadster model you chose will come with the same stuff under the hood. As in the hardtop coupe, the roadster is motivated by a 332-hp, 3.7L V-6 mated to either a seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual. The auto box features paddle shifters, Downshift Rev Matching, and Adaptive Shift Control, which adapts to your shifting style. The manual, meanwhile, gets Nissan's SynchroRev Match added with the Sport Package. Nissan says both transmissions will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, one mpg less than the hardtop on the highway.
