Used Datsun b210’s were the most common car among my fellow students in high school.
(I had a bus pass, no car unfortunately).

And a good friend (at the time) had a Datsun pick-up that was indestructible well into the early 90’s when I lost touch with her. She’d bought it new in 81. For all I know, it’s still running.

I’m glad they’re bringing the brand back. Ghosn is a CEO willing to take risks (look at his push for EVs like the Leaf.)
