You might not know that the Datsun 1600 never managed a ‘Wheels Car of the Year’ award in its years on the Australian market from 1967. No, the Morris 1100, the VE Valiant and XP Falcon – they were the COTY stuff of champions then!
Funny thing is, nearly everyone else who drove the 1600 recognised it immediately as a very special car. And it, and the Toyota Corona, moved Australians in their droves from English cars and Australia’s own bulky, underdone sixes of the time, into Japanese brands.

Ya know chevy, we're still waiting on the Impala. We've seen the Lacrosse, CTS and Malibu. you can make hot sedans. let's see one with the Impala nameplate, eh?
And I really respect Ford for keeping the Taurus name. It will attract a lot of Taurus nuts (me being one.)
