I thought that too Steve but when I went for the Camry Neil said no but it is Japanese. As I had named a Toyota I thought he would have said 'right make' rather than right country so I went for the Laurel. However now racking my brains for the name of the 1985 big Mazda!!

Higher Doesnt have any "name" on the badges (apart from Nissan) although in its homeland and elsewhere it was also known by a particular name. Over here letters and numbers!

Here's the front and a couple of the alpha numerics!

Nissan Maxima?

Nissan Maxima?

Wasn't a great export success. Aimed at Mercedes and BMW, but got nowhere near disrupting that segment of the market.

Here's the interior from one sold in 2020 at Shannons in Australia for AU$ 5,500
