I dont think anyone would have a problem had it been called fairlady for the last 40 years. However 40 years ago trying to find a niche in the US against cars named mustang, camaro, and challenger I don't think that name would have sold very well.

Um mate, I have told several girls and men the japanese name and everybody went "lol wut?" yes including the girls. the only guy that liked the name was the guy from custom import arts because he has worked on dozens of japanese imports.

DBZ only started sucking because they kept on dragging the story on. like I said I don't like it anymore waaay too many better anime out now

Well. up untill about 3 years ago I couldn't give a **** about cars and if you went "what you think about a 350/370Z" I would be like "wut are those"

I love the Z but I don't know about the Z history and so on. So no I am not a enthusiast. If it wasn't for my parents's GT-R I probably would of bought a megane RS or Z4 Even though I dislike BMW

I feel bad for people who don't like fairlady. automatically they are insecure muscly guys who don't care about the heritage of our Z.

And yes if ford sold the mustang here I probably would of gotten a Mustang.

:iagree:

This is exactly why my car says Fairlady Z on the back. My father had a 1970 240z when I was a kid and I heard all about the Fairlady story back then. I have been a Z fan ever since. It's about honoring the lineage of an iconic car.

I mean, it's marketing. And it varies by region.

I own a Mazda6. I'm sorry, are you Japanese? I meant, I own a Mazda Atenza.

Lexus IS200? Did you mean the Toyota Altezza?

Even badging. Is that an Acura NSX or a Honda NSX? A Scion iQ or a Toyota iQ?

It's not just Japanese cars, either. How do you like your Holden Monaro, or should I call it a Pontiac GTO?

Marketing, son.

OMG are toner and myself the only men in this thread. I bet you guys nick name your cars with dudes names. LOL. Nice to see the nerve was hit well and deep. Now go back to you ball game where you slap you teemmates on the bum and touch yourselves in your comunal showers.

AFAIK, you're the only one in this thread that has ever blown a tranny. :p

I nicknamed mine carla for some reason.

lol. don't you have to go get your mullet trimed mustang driver. lol

Ex boyfriend?:ugh2:

hey HEY, I said I didn't mind it. I like both names. And you can see in my sig that my car carries a woman's name.

I don't come down to where you work and knock the c0ck out of your mouth, so leave me be. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

jk <3 shumz

Got that taken care of yesterday. But I think my T-tops are leaking and I'm running low on Bud. :icon23: :p

I think I know why :ugh2:

:bowrofl:

:tup:

LMFAO LMFAO:inoutroflpuke::inoutroflpuke::inoutroflpuke: :inoutroflpuke::inoutroflpuke::inoutroflpuke:

named his car carl but bitching about fairlady LOL
I think shumby said it best exboyfriend named carlos?

Reason why the chevy nova didn't sell well in spainish speaking countries. "No va" means "no go". You want to buy a car named no go?

:icon18:

I thought that is what mustang means.

Ibtl?

Oh well, I drive a Magic Unicorn GT (just ask Vegitto).

Na mustang=horse with broken leg and we know what 90% of owners do when that happens

:bowrofl:

This thread is FTMFW.
BTW IBTL and pm warning/BAN

fairlady doesn't even sound like 'fairlady' in japan. it sounds more like a battery... i mean when j-folks say it, it rhymes with everready.

i think they got the name when some j-guy mispronunced Ferrari.

Alright let's not derail this thread LOL

You MB guys rock! I have had my head so far up my backside, this is the first time I have been on in a while. I will get back in the groove and on the BS wagon. I promise. Haha. :happydance: Drove the roadster to work today. She needed to stretch her legs.

Ok, as far as my opinion of the badge... I like it for two reasons:
1) I think the heritage is kinda cool (I am an old guy though).
2) People that don't know can't figure out what it is!

And we all know what they say about opinions!

I have had auditors at my site all week. A+ so far but it is always a pain. Today is the last day and some of the team has already left so I am coasting a bit now. :driving:
