...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.
