2023 Nissan Z Performance
By Paul Herrold
1969: The first man landed on the moon, The Beatles recorded Abbey Road, their final album, and the world was introduced to a car that would redefine what a sports car should be: Nissan’s Datsun 240Z. Instead of another exclusive and expensive car with terrible reliability, Nissan proved that a sports car could be fun, affordable, and—get this—actually work. Now in its 7th generation, Nissan brings to market a new “Z Car” that retains all the same principles as the original—and a whole lot more.

Large commercial vans are in historically high demand. It’s estimated that Amazon alone maintains a fleet of 70,000 last-mile delivery vans, and continues to add new vehicles its stock. Apparently America’s love of online shopping has been good for the makers of large delivery trucks.

It’s tough out there for traditional sporty/performance cars these days, especially for the true two-seater or 2+2 sports cars. The things just don’t sell like they used to American shoppers, and as a result, the automakers who are still sticking it out in this segment have had to get creative. Toyota partnered with BMW to revive the Supra for 2020, and renewed its partnership with Subaru to introduce a new-generation version of the Toyota 86 rear-wheel-drive sports car (now dubbed GR 86) for 2022 (Subaru’s variant continues as the BRZ).
