Nissan's Ama-Z-ing Sports Car!

The Z cars didn’t singlehandedly kick start the boom in Japanese import cars. That came from the solid reliability and good value of regular passenger cars from Japan’s big three. And the biggest shot in the arm would come from the 1973 oil crisis and the rush to fuel economical cars. But the Z cars certainly helped, creating a halo car that showed that cheap and cheerful cars from a far off land can be exciting as well. Over the years the car has grown, and shrunk again, but it’s always stayed true to its roots.
