FactThe Fuga's two trim levels exist because Nissan couldn't decide whether to badge it a Cedric or a Gloria.
The Fuga was launched in Japan on 14 October 2004 as the successor to the Cedric and Gloria, using the Skyline platform, in the same way the Prince Gloria of 1959 was based on a stretched Prince Skyline, and was sold at the Nissan Red Stage and Blue Stage dealerships until they were combined in 2005; it was exported as the Infiniti M35/45. Nissan wanted a fresh approach to compete with European executive mid-sized sports sedans such as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Jaguar S-Type, and its primary competitor was the Toyota Crown Athlete Series. The trim levels were divided into "XV" and "GT", the result of the car having been intended to be sold as either a Cedric or a Gloria, and after the 2007 facelift the range was unified into the GT model. The 450GT was released in August 2005 with the 4.5-litre VK45DE V8, tuned in Japan to 333 PS against 340 PS for the North American M45. Production ran from October 2004 to November 2009.

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.
