FactNissan named this Pulsar replacement Bluebird Sylphy just to keep the retiring Bluebird name alive somewhere.
The Bluebird Sylphy was a small four-door sedan exclusive to Japanese dealerships called Nissan Blue Stage, and the change in name from Pulsar to Bluebird Sylphy came about as Nissan was about to phase out the long-running Bluebird, keeping the old name alive. Export markets received the same vehicle as the Almera in Europe and Brunei, the Pulsar in Australasia, the Sentra in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan, and the Sunny in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Middle East. It was not available in North America, where the Sunny-based Sentra (B15) was sold instead. The Japanese model code was G10, against the N16 of most other markets, produced from 2000 to 2005 (G10) and 2000 to 2012 (N16).

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
