But Datsun had a name for rusting, I'm guessing the reaction of majority will be something about "rust bucket". They should bring out a limited edition stainless steel datto.... *drool*
Actually cheap n nasty Datsuns (like 120Y, 180B, 200B) all seem to get really bad dents in them... thats not a design fault. I think the rust was partly a human produced thing too. If you leave any car in the sun, it will wreck the window rubbers, and if you leave any car under trees, the leaves will get inside the doors and front panels and start rusting away. Just doing a bit of early morning 2 cent piecing.

Toyota has Lexus, Mazda was pushing Eunos (I think) etc so it comes as no surprise. Consider (Please consider....) that developing new brands is a lot more expensive than reviving old ones. Nissan have done a smart thing, maybe they are thinking of cashing in on past rally and racing lories -nothing wrong with that, I just hope they think about creating a new Turbo 4WD Datsun for the World Rally Circuit!! Datto lives again!!

The name DATSUN was as popular in Australia and New Zealand as in any other countries - we should remind Mr Ghosn of that fact. The thing is do we want the Datsun name revived? Nissan to revive Datsun brand Wednesday, December 4, 2002 at 09:30 JST TOKYO - Nissan Motor Co will revive its old brand, Datsun, at a yet-to-be-decided time as it is an important asset, the major Japanese automaker's president, Carlos Ghosn, said Tuesday. Datsun was adopted by various Nissan cars in the 1960s, especially those sold overseas, and became a popular brand particularly in the United States. Currently, Nissan uses the brand only for a pickup truck model.
