Here in the UK we didn't get white Zeds officially until early this year. There are a few JDM imports about but I think you may struggle to flog them this side of the pond.
Hi and welcome, mate!
I used my first Zed for commuting and it was great. 24-25 mpg, comfortable on the motorway and a nice big torquey motor. 34k miles and no problems, clutches etc. Do it!
