The original and affordable Datsun 240Z rode out of the
Far East way back in 1970 to
challenge the world's best two - seaters, most of which bore high - and -
mighty European nameplates and price tags to match.
Excited as we've been by the idea of an upgraded (and manual) version of the Volkswagen Polo GTI, it has some
mighty big
challenges ahead of it, not least because its main rival, the Ford Fiesta ST, is still cheaper and, frankly, capable of making
far more expensive machinery look silly.
