Fairlady Z emblem

ferrari_rich

Sure hope I don't get slammed for this post, but I just DON'T understand the enthusiasm for the Fairlady Z emblem. I would definately want that replaced with the 370Z emblem if my car came with such. I'm so glad I have a US version. Just doesn't seem to fit the aggressive style/design of the 370Z. IMO

Maybe if I was a female driver and my car was painted pink it would be OK!

Sorry if I offended anyone here, as I said, it's just my opinion

Well it is mainly due to the fact that the car is a Fairlady Z, the name is changed because the American market is the way it is.

Obviously a homophobe not secure in his masculinity.
Do you even know anything about this car? Like, the heritage of it?

Togo

The name is iconic to this car, it's a huge part of this cars history, it's origin, it's heritage.

Fairlady Z - about that name..

Read the article, it will explain the origin of the name

Those that chose to have a Fairlady emblem are just the ones that wish to embrace the true heritage of the car

And are also those who don't care about the opinions of people who start threads with no other intention than being a pot-stirring douche.

Horseface

They changed the name for the US market because they knew they were dealing with homophobic, lowest-common-denominator-movie-enjoying, sports-watching, junk food quaffing, dumbed-down-for-his-thick-as-pig$hit-buddies-at-the-bar knuckle draggers.



Just my opinion, don't flame, etc.

Seemed I ruffled a few feathers here. I don't mean to cause any distress. I tried to be polite and a bit humorous. Like I said it is JUST my opinion.

Yes, I WAS aware of the "heritage" of the name (and actually my dad turned down a date with Audrey Hepburn, the star of My Fair Lady", said her t*ts weren't large enough, so she almost could have been my mother). But, it still seems TO ME like the name does not fit any type of high powered sports car.

I just wish one could state their opinions, whether positive or negative, without this kind of flaming.

BTW the FerrariChat site was FULL of this kind of intolerance for ANY type of criticism also. Even more so. But, I still would like be able to post my opinions, without this kind of negative feedback. No car is perfect.

Read the threads at the FChat site where I said I was trading in my Ferrari for a 370Z, and you'll see what I mean. Man did I get hammered, but IMO I'll take my Z over the Ferrari any day. I LOVE my Z!!!! Don't tell a Fcar owner that though. I've taken enough abuse. LOL

its a curvy car, it deserves the Fairlady Z badge

Call Nissan and tell them that you thinkg the Fairlady Z is a bad name and see what they say

Togo

You probably got the response you did because there was a hint of arrogance and insult in your original post.

The "370Z" is there for people like you, which is probably a large portion of the American population. For the most die hard enthusiasts, the cars roots and heritage supercedes the masculinity, or lack-there-of, in the name.

You may be reading between the lines. I had NO arrogance. I said it was ONLY my opinion, and tried to be a bit humorous about the pink Z.

Sorry if I offended anyone OK?

PS I hear Ferrari is comming out with a new model, and would like Nissan to come up with the name for it. LOL

ferrari_rich

When put this way, it almost makes sense. The 370z does have a sweet looking a** (bottom)
