FactTaiwan sold the 305 under its own names, the GTX badged Flying Fish and the SR and GL badged Skipper.
A medium-sized front-wheel-drive car designed by Pininfarina and produced by Peugeot from 1977 to 1989, offered as a four-door saloon, a five-door estate and a three-door van, and built in Taiwan until 1993. It was unveiled in November 1977 as a saloon with a choice of two petrol engines, the 305 GRD diesel followed four months later, and the Break estate and Break Service van were introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1980. The sportier 305 S with twin carburettors arrived at Paris in 1980, and the series 2 cars of late 1982 had revised frontal styling, new front suspension and steering, and new XU engines with a five-speed gearbox, topped by the GTX. It was the first of the "05" generation of Peugeots that lasted until the 605 ended in 1999, and an all-steel monocoque based on the VSS safety prototype with front and rear crumple zones. It won the What Car? Car of the Year in the UK in 1979. French saloon production ceased in 1988, estates in 1989, and the van in June 1990; in Taiwan it was marketed as the Flying Fish (305 GTX) and Skipper (305 SR and GL).

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.
