What did the X signify at the end of the 300ZX name? Was it just marketing, sounds better, sounds more expensive, rolls off the tongue easier? If so, why not call it the 300ZX again instead of just 300Z? Toyota brought the Supra back from the 90s, now why wouldn't Nissan do the same with the 300ZX, especially with those tail lights?

I guess the question to ask, and I am sure this is what is going on in Nissan focus groups right now. If you owned a Z35, would you prefer to say to your friends or that cute girl "I have/drive a 300Z" or "I have/drive a 300ZX"?
