An emphasis on driver comfort and ride quality was instilled in the new ZX, it was intended to be a Grand Touring car. It was a bit heavier and softer than the previous Z car. The seats were more comfortable, the suspension was softer, and better sound insulation was used as well. The exterior design featured less rounded lines and better integrated safety bumpers. 1979 also marked the beginning Datsun's global transition to the Nissan name, as it was co-branded "Datsun by Nissan" in the American market through the 1983 model year. These early Japanese sports cars are climing in value.
