The nomenclature in the JDM market makes more sense, but then again they get to select from four trim levels.It always seems weird to me with these trim nomenclature and what options are included.
As an example, if you call it a "Performance" trim, I would expect this is a trim with pure performance in mind. That means options with the lightest weight and the "right" configuration in mind. So a diff makes sense but putting a powered seat in a performance model is counterintuitive.
Base: Bare bones, 18" wheels, cloth interior, open differential, etc.
Touring: Same mechanicals as the base but upgraded leather interior and other comfort goodies.
Sport: 19" wheels, limited slip diff, upgraded brakes, bare bones interior.
Sport Touring: Loaded mechanical and interior. The Performance trim here in the US.
Maybe by MY24, Nissan will go back to the the way the Z34's trims were equipped and named to minimize confusion.
