In the sea of boring compacts they used to add a bit of style. We need more to make us forget about Corollas and Civics.

...yes, I’m bored at work

One of the most handsome Japanese sport compacts.

I thought the Bluebird was a Toyota Carina ED Exciting Version at first glance.

Yeah but it’s not a hardtop with frameless windows.

That’s a Nissan Bluebird U12... a.k.a. Nissan Stanza.

Except North America only got the regular sedan. This particular version is the SSS-X with ATTESSA AWD and the CA18DET, i.e. the 200SX engine.

Xedos 6 isn’t hardtop and both are midsize, a full size class above though...

Yeah... but it’s a big deal in Japan. A size class above means a shitload more registration taxes.

Japanese? Check.

Hardtop? Check.

Compact? Check.

Frameless windows? Check.

Am I doing this right?
