i was recently corrected by several tt.net members for saying something along the lines of "my car isn't a fairlady". i said this because the car is left hand drive, sold in the states, therefore was not sold with the fairlady badge. the confusion stemmed because of a picture of my car with the added fairlady badge.

so, is it safe or not safe to say that my LHD sold in USA Z is not a fairlady, and that RHD sold in japan Z's are fairladys? i'd like to hear what the calm and pleasant people here have to say about that. thanks!

 

I was under the impression that all the Z's are fairladys.

 

All Z's are Fairladies. The *only* reason they weren't marketed as so is because the marketing department knew that such a name wouldn't fly well with a predominantly male customer base, especially in America.

and...

Which part of "no longer in production" was the hardest to understand?

 

well i searched for pictures of stillens old and new. i didn't just look at the website

anyway, i get now that the car really IS a fairlady, but my point was that when one see's the fairlady badge, they think JDM RHD. which it is not. that's why i said what i did. but i choose the wrong words

 

the only fairlady was the 240Z in J-pan

 

^^^ All Z's are sold in Japan with the name Fairlady...

 

horrible lies!!!!


in reality no Z should have been a fairlady because it was a name made for the old 60's datsun roadsters. how can there be so many fairlady's!!!!
