I honestly think Nissan would have sold at least 30% more Z34s over their 11 year run if it was called Fairlady Z globally. The below image is what also comes to my mind with Fairlady Z. When my mind starts subconsciously associating the beauty of the car with the beauty of a fair maiden, it increases the likelihood of me, a heterosexual male, purchasing said car.

When someone says "Fairlady", I don't think of a Z. I think of a guy standing there holding his hand up with his pinky finger pointed out.
