Why did Nissan come up with the 4 Door Sports Car moniker? Marketing, or was there ANY truth to it at the time? And when did they drop that name anyway, 93?

For 1989, it was quite a car. Remember, the non-turbo 300ZX still had the same VG30E engine that year. SE was available with a 5-speed, handled pretty smartly for a FWD car, had clear turn signals front and back, SEs had 4-wheel discs, and the industry first white gauges that reversed at night.

Remember, Camrys were still small and the V6 made 152 HP and a lot less torque. Hondas Accords didn't even have V6 engines until 6 years later.

Compared with cars of similar size, the Taurus/Sable came with a bench seat (on some) and even the top of the line engine only made 140HP from 3.8L.

It was a big deal.
