Why I love the name Fairlady Z

Cant say I'm a fan of the Fairlady name. To me it was a whimsical way to name the vehicle and only has a very tenuous link to what was

I much prefer just Z, pronounced "Zee"

I actually like the Fairlady name in and of itself. But completely with this comment. Really it was just Japan capitalizing on a capitalism marketing opportunity. Well done on their part...

Thank Goodness. I can't stand it when someone calls it a Zeed... I want to bash them in their Zead/Head.
