...anyhow the original Z was designed for the North American market so while it was designed in Japan its target market was over here. I think there was only about 3% of the 240Z sold in Japan. The 370Z is the same - its target is North America which is the reason it was released here first and the majority of the cars are sold here. Funny that its made in Japan when so many other Nissans are made in Canada and the US.

did you not read the interview? it was not designed in japan, it was designed by a canadian who lives here in the states

Origninal Z = 240Z from 1970. Designed in Japan for the North American Market.

New 370Z again designed for the North American Market. Didn't say it was DESIGNED in Japan I said it was MADE in Japan.
