I did own an ‘82 Datsun 210. Paid $500 for it with 90k miles, sold it 6 years later at 156k miles for $300. Was a great little hatchback.
i had an '84 300zx. after the dealer got me for 900 bucks in '89 for a distributor, i would go out and leave it parked in the middle of the city on a saturday night with the keys in it and the windows down. it was unfathomable that no one would drive off and ruin it.

Probably fair to say that there Japanese brands grabbed huge market shares starting in the 80's.

Mostly due to more advanced manufacturing.

The tables have turned, now the Chinese are beating the Japanese at their own game.

(Not quite so much in the US where the government have tended to protect their domestic manufacturers)

those guys ran Carlos Ghosn out of town and look where that took them.
Nissan used to have cool products but last couple of years hasn't been inspiring.
His legal troubles spread worldwide
