Why not just z? Any ideas?

 

Al

cos the Zed is X rated . . . . Obviously :rofl:

Nissan launched the ZX brand as a more upmarket version of the original Z brand in 1977.

so the Z31 is a Z and the Z32 is a ZX?

Nope, Z31 is a ZX as well.

is it like the jag's here the X stands for expirmental?

280zx, 300zx Z31, 300zx Z32

 

as above, it was a new model designation to signify a more luxury branding.

That's why its the 350z, they've down a gear in performance and looks ;) :rofl:

240Z in 1970, 260Z 1974, 280ZX came out in 1975.

Ahh... Seems to make sense except they ruined it by calling the 350 a Z and not ZX, then again it makes the zx more unique. Any members with a z31?

They wanted to go back to basics with the 350z. The 350z is meant as a 240z replacement, rather than a 300zx replacement.

yeh you dont get more luxury than a shitron zx :rofl:

also why did they call the silvia and bluebird a ZX there not zed cars :confused:

And the Nissan Sunny Coupe 1.6 and 1.8 ZX and Sunny hatchback 1.8 ZX :confused:

 

I always used to think that the ZX range of a particular Nissan model was the sportier version of that model

i thought "300zx" was code for the best looking car in the world
