FactThe Primera made automotive history backwards: British-built, right-hand-drive cars were shipped BACK to Japan as the 'Primera UK GT', the first British-built Japanese car ever reverse-exported home.
Nissan's large family car targeted specifically at European buyers, launched in Japan in February 1990 and replacing the Bluebird in the United Kingdom in September that year. It was the first Nissan to apply multi-link front suspension to front-wheel drive. Some British-built five-door RHD Primeras were exported back to Japan as the Primera UK GT.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
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.
