FactThe third-generation Prairie became the Nissan Liberty in Japan but kept the Prairie name in Hong Kong and Singapore, and shared its platform with the Avenir wagon.
The third-generation Prairie, launched in November 1998 as the Prairie Liberty and renamed simply Liberty at the May 2001 facelift. It shared its powertrain and suspension with the W11 Avenir; two-wheel-drive cars used a Hyper CVT and four-wheel-drive cars a four-speed automatic. A 2.0 SR20DE was the launch engine, a turbocharged SR20DET arrived in the Highway Star GT4 in 1999, and the 2001 facelift switched to the QR20DE. Sales ended in December 2004 when the Lafesta replaced it.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.

The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
