In a win for Aussie car enthusiasts manufacturers are falling over themselves to offer new or updated models with temptingly sharp price tags.
Leading the way is Nissan. In order for it to introduce the 370Z NISMO at a competitive $61,490, Nissan has slashed the price of its ageing sports car to an unheard-of $49,990 for the six-speed manual coupe, the seven-speed automatic adding another $2500.
The Roadster drop-top starts from $60,990. It may have been around since Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister (the first time!), but it’s also a hairy-chested rear-driver powered by an atmo V6 that once demanded you hand over almost $70K for the privilege. Frankly, a sub-$50K sticker paints it in a whole new light.

MOTOR has outlined the features that distinguish each variant, but all will feature 272kW/510Nm, Brembo brakes, a limited-slip diff and 4.9sec 0-100km/h potential. Last, but certainly not least, VW has announced a pair of cut-price performance Golfs to join its line-up in the near future.
