Japanese car maker Nissan resurrected its iconic budget Datsun marque on Monday to woo a new generation of cost-conscious buyers in emerging markets.

Nissan, which in 1981 killed off the Datsun badge that was a favourite of legions of Western drivers, has launched a "next-generation" of the car to penetrate high-growth developing economies.

Parents had a 1600. What a goer! Shit seats though.  They replaced it with a 180B. I wasn't impressed with it.  What a rust buget this became.

I had an MQ LWB diesel. Great step forward for Datsun.  Replaced this with a Datsun Twin Cab, but traded this in with my first wife.  Got a new wife and a Datsun Pulsar Hatch.

Later had two more of the new Nissan Mark before finishing off with a Pathfinder.  Still got the wife.

That Datsun has an ugly front... better from the back  :undecided:

I've had good experiences with Nissan so not lusting for the old Datsun name personally  :confused:

Has three Nissan Pulsars and a Nissan Bluebird and a Tiida (all great cars in their own way)  :goodjob:
