So. Here we are: the end of the second week of the ninth month of the weirdest year any of us can remember. It seems as good a time as any to start taking stock by introducing a weekly round-up. There’s no shortage of such things, so why add our iron to the fire? Well, you may have noticed that a lot of the news these days is bad. But here in car world, good things still happen sometimes. Actually, they happen kind of a lot. So here it is, your Sunday slice of the week in cars. We’ll be back with more next week.

The Nissan Z-car is a sports car which has been manufactured by Nissan Motors Ltd, in six generations, since 1969.

The original Z was sold from October 1969 in Japan, as the Nissan Fairlady Z, at Nissan Exhibition dealerships that previously sold the Nissan Bluebird. It was exported as the Datsun 240Z. Since 2009, Nissan has manufactured the newest Z, the Nissan 370Z.

The earlier models of the Nissan Z were built at the Nissan Shatai plant in Hiratsuka until 2000, while the later models (350Z and 370Z) are built at Oppama (2002–2004) and Tochigi (2004–present). Enthusiasts praise the cars for their looks, reliability, performance, and affordability. Every Z car has been sold in Japan as the Fairlady Z and elsewhere under the names Nissan S30, Nissan S130, Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 350Z and Nissan 370Z. In May 2020, Nissan revealed plans to produce a new Z car.
