Fairlady Z emblem

They changed the name for the US market because they knew they were dealing with homophobic, lowest-common-denominator-movie-enjoying, sports-watching, junk food quaffing, dumbed-down-for-his-thick-as-pig$hit-buddies-at-the-bar knuckle draggers. Just my opinion, don't flame, etc.

When put this way, it almost makes sense. The 370z does have a sweet looking a** (bottom)

I think it's cool either way, since I have a US spec car I'm keeping it original and keeping the 370z emblem on there, if I bought and imported JDM car with LH drive I would definitely keep the Fairlady badge on it.
As the original poster said, it's just his opinion and I can respect that, everyone on this forum does something to make the car more of what they like, if people were concerned about keeping the car to it's original heritage, they would keep everything stock. Look how many people take off the "Nissan" hamburger to replace it with a "Z" logo, why? 2 reasons, the Z logo looks better IMO, and the "Z" logo has more prestige then the "Nissan" one. I don't think it's all that great of a name either, but like I said, if it was on the car, I would keep it. Of course if it was called the happy lady "GayLady" then I might have to take it off.

I'm just glad they called it Fairlady, not Fatlady, although it's a fitting image to the 370Z.

Maybe if I was a female driver and my car was painted pink it would be OK!

Sorry if I offended anyone here, as I said, it's just my opinion
I will agree with you, it does!
