During the "ZX" years, Datsun/Nissan literally used the "X" to denote "luxury". Even though the Z32 300ZX was more of a return to performance, with models being available with T-Tops

During the "ZX" years, Datsun/Nissan literally used the "X" to denote "luxury".
Even though the Z32 300ZX was more of a return to performance, with models being available with T-Tops (an original "X" feature) and leather, Nissan continued with "ZX". For Nissan to name the new Z "400Z" would be wildly arbitrary. A confident product could easily pull-off a back-tracking from 370 to 300. We aren't such simpletons! I highly doubt ANYBODY who was considering a new 300Z Twin Turbo would have a hang-up over the name! I mean, Toyota went ahead and had BMW make their Supra, they didn't feel people would have a hang up over BMW making it! |
