9. Nissan Z-car

The original version – named 240Z – was being sold way back in 1969. Due to its sleek, almost Italian looks, good performance and relatively low price, it was an immediate hit with buyers.  240Z sold well over 100,000 units during its first three years in North America. That was quite good, considering the poor perception of Japanese automobiles many buyers had at that time.

The second generation Z-Car – 280ZX – came out in 1978. It was replaced by 300ZX in 1984. The all-new, second-generation 300ZX debuted in 1990 model year and was sold in North America until 1996. Z-car had almost been fogotten, until  350Z was released in 2003. The current version of the car – 370Z – has been sold since 2009.
