We believe that 370Z will create an aspirational value for Nissan brand in the country as we gear up for the launch of our first made in India car in 2010.” The car is having a two seat layout which has been sculpted around a deeply scooped instrument panel and a full length centre console is designed which distinguishes the driver seat from the passenger’s seat.
