the only memorable part of the car was it leaked black glue from the ceiling onto the back seat. Oh and it was twin spark so servicing it cost twice as much as it should have.

Ford sold Nissans?

Odd place, Oz.

rebadged Nissans yes.

also the Nissan Patrol was sold as the Ford Maverick

Ford Falcon ute was sold as the Nissan Ute

Holden rebadged Nissans then joined up with Toyota

Mitsubishi stayed seperate (not surprising as back in the 80's/90's there were 5 local manufacturers)

There was a rally version with AWD, actually. In fact it was the car that introduced ATTESA.

Huh, looking into it, it appears that the Aussie was built in Australia for export to Japan. It even included a stuffed kangaroo toy...

I like it! I actually had a prizm hatch too, but it was just a cheap beater and not the gsi sadly.
