      Well, beaten to the hour rule but I'll keep the post.

      Anyways, surprisingly clean 5 speed Nissan. I can't remember the name of this one so you'll have to help me. Sentra coupe? Haven't seen one of these in a while.

      One thing I didn't realize is that the doors on these open nearly 90 degrees as I saw someone getting in on my way back. Not a very exciting vehicle but extremely rare to find in this condition. The paint looked suspiciously immaculate. Just look at how well the light bounces off it in these photos.

          @whoistheleader after a very quick Google search, that looks like a Nissan Lucino (or 200SX here in the states). The Sentra never came in a 2 door (CORRECTION: It didn't come in a 2 door for the 4th generation Sentra because the 200SX was put back into production). Cool find!

          Some journalist told me about this site. Now I own three cars.

            @taylor-martin Didn't someone here buy a teal one at some point?

            Thank you. Yeah, that name just wasn't quite there for me. I can't remember the last time I saw one. There wasn't an exterior model name so I wasn't so sure about what it was.

            But the Sentra did come as a two door, just the fourth gen had a separate name.

              Yes, but turns out it was a 200SX.

                @whoistheleader I feel that. If the car isn't badged it takes a lot of my brainpower to figure out what it is, and 9 times out of 10 I'm completely wrong haha.

                    If it was made before I was born, usually unbadged ones can be tricky.

                    I updated my original comment as the Sentra came in two door form for many many years but the fourth gen was called something different.

                      @classicdatsundebate Couldn't tell you. Probably, though I doubt it would make many horses in this application.

                        @whoistheleader God, tell me about it. The last Buick Riviera stumped a young car-spotting me many a time. A shame Buick chose to badge it so cryptically, as the car no doubt would have had a great halo effect for the brand. (Or on the other hand perhaps those were the very associations they were trying to avoid for the Riviera)

                          @amoore100 I know what you mean. Sometimes you would be really impressed by a car but not know what exactly it was in order to find out more. Especially in the pre-internet days, I remember, I can't remember who, was it Murilee Martin? Some well known person in the journalism world saw a Citroen SM in the wild as a kid and the course of trying to figure it out over years altered the course of his life.

                          The Riverias were cool but they weren't exactly claiming new customers for the Buick brand. They were genuinely good comfortable stylish cruisers but they were also bought almost exclusively by old people.

                          Sometimes the only reason you realize something isn't another something is because of the badge though. The Chrysler LHS I spotted not too long ago springs to mind. I would have passed it off as yet another Concorde if it weren't for a very small fender badge.
