What about Nissan Z? Surely it was never open season for other automakers to name a model that, right?

The Tesla Model 3 was supposed to be the Model E, but Ford wouldn't give up the mark.

This is a bad example as they would be direct competitors within the same market.

The trademark is probably "Nissan Z", not "Z".

That's the context needed, someone can call their car a Nissan Silvia and expect to fight a Toyota Silvia trademark infringement. But I suspect you may not even beable to fight say, a Ferrari Silvia, since they aren't likely competing contexts.
