M/T: 2020 Nissan 370Z 50th Anniversary Review: Retro

It's pretty bad when a car that has been produced the whole time has not been updated for so long that it qualifies as "retro."
Sports cars tend to go the longest between redesigns because they sell in such low volumes that it takes forever to amortize the tooling and development costs. The venerable Nissan 370Z, for example, was new in 2009 and hasn't seen much updating. If I'm honest, I was slightly surprised that Nissan still sells the car when this 2020 370Z 50th Anniversary special edition arrived in our weekly fleet.
I mean, yeah. This car was originally produced in an era (early 2000s) where a near-300hp naturally aspirated V6 was quite a novelty (which was about 10 years after a 300hp naturally aspirated V8 was considered a novelty)
