According to AutoWeek's G.D. Levy, the 510 has often been called the "poor man's BMW." The 510's engineering was inspired by contemporary European sedans, particularly the 1966 BMW 1600-2, incorporating a SOHC engine, MacPherson strut suspension in front and independent, semi-trailing arms in the back.[3] The European-influenced sheet metal design is attributed to Datsun in-house designer, Teruo Uchino.

Rob, you forgot the Bluebird 310. Predessor to the 510. Small numbers were sold in the US and it predates the 2002 by 2 years.
