If someone insults either one of those cars they are obviously ignorant and not worth my time to even talk to.

Depends on how you use the term.:confused:

Honey, I have to break up with you....Yes Datsun..:tup:

Or sorry I came too Datsun...:eek:

Or did your fine sister have to leave Datsun ?:yum::yum:

Or, yes I would like you to lose weight Datsun...:eek:

Then it may be derogatory...:tiphat::hello::icon18:

Hopefully I don't end up on the banned list, but I just had to do it...

Sweet: Thanks.

I've been looking for this exact information.

I always thought the reason they changed the name was to get away from the historically rust ridden paint that the early Datsun imports had. When I think Datsun It brings back a memory of the pock marked Z 240's Not so with Nissan

Clarkson definitely uses it as an insult but he who cares what he thinks?

I'm around older Datsuns all the time but there is no way I would refer to my car as a Datsun because it would make no sense to

I started with a Datsun B210, however if you looked at that time any engine cover on a Datsun it said Nissan.;)


No, that was NOT the reason. It was a business deal.


Exactly, when they don't know the history of the brand.

Onzedge..

You are always there to get my Jokes....

Now that Datsun is synonymous with the budget line I personally wouldn't refer to my car as one but I get the history part.

Sadly a lot of people don't seem to know that Nissan/Datsun are synonymous.

That's because I am just a son-of-a-Datsun.

I cannot believe you got back to me datsun...:tiphat:

Datsun as I get a minute I will come up with more jokes..

Its actually referring to the speed of the car... I cannot believe you drove here datsoon.

:icon17:

A snail went to a Datsun dealer to buy a Z. He told the dealer to remove the "Z" from the car and replace it with an "S".

He wanted people to see him driving by and say "Look at that S-car go".

Recycled Chrysler S car joke alert. :ughdance:
