Well, it doesn't, because most Datsuns were econoboxes...

Wow, the front is a mix of Ford Taurus and Subaru Legacy and the rear screams Impreza with a Chevy chrome strip. Call me disappointed.

Personally, I think the rear looks rather close to the Opel Astra [H] sedan.

Datsuns were econoboxes... They just later on developed a racing heritage while also selling economy cars.

Looks like the imperalists are starting to invade Glorious Mother Russia with their decadent machinery.

Hum, I don't think it will do it much good.

Really, it should be good looking (albeit not particularly ground-breaking) and fun to drive. To me, it's certainly not the former. The front's alright, but the back is bulbous.

If it is fun to drive, I think it'll be accepted. If it was fun to drive and good looking, I think it'd be loved.
