The 2009 Nissan 370Z will be delivered to Nissan dealers in late January 2009
The much expected release has a subtle face lift and performance features.

As per Edmonds.com, they have mixed reviews but in all gave it thumbs up
Here are some of there remarks

Positive Remarks
the 2009 Nissan 370Z is very Responsive with a powerful V6 engine.  It has powerful firm cornering grip and excellent limber highway ride. Has an excellent seating position.

Negative Remarks
The 2009 Nissan 370Z has a slight engine vibration at its peak rpm that could be annoying for some drivers and a massive right-rear blind spot that could cause problems for others. The instrument panel looks great but its reflections in windshield at nighttime could be very distracting.

Overall

The 2009 Nissan 370Z is a world-class sports car for the price of a Mitsubishi Evo or Subaru WRX STI.
