Why are Dongfeng Nissan Bluebird and Xuanyi both marked with Bluebird?
This question is very complicated! \x0d\ Because Bluebird is no longer on the list of Nissan in Japan, Nissan stopped production of Bluebird in Japan as early as the mid-1990s. However, in order to cherish the memory of Bluebird, Nissan named the next generation model of Nissan Sunshine B 15 series (the one imported from China in the early days) as BLUEBIRDSYLPHY code-named G 10 series, as the offspring of Bluebird and Sunshine. However, in order to deal with the export problem, Nissan renamed the export version of this Bluebird Sylphy as SUNNY, as a replacement product of the previous generation SUNNY, and changed the export version code to N 16. Dongfeng Nissan's earliest Nissan sunshine is this Nissan Bluebird Sylphy (G 10)/Sunny (N 16). \x0d\ Later, Nissan updated BLUEBIRDSYLPHY, and the brand-new G 1 1 series appeared in 2005, but I didn't know that Dongfeng Nissan soon introduced this brand-new Bluebird Sylphy11into China. In order to distinguish it from the existing Bluebird, Dongfeng Nissan took the name "Xuanyi". However, after production, this car is almost exactly the same as the original Bluebird Sylphy. Even the nameplate "Sylphy of Bluebird" at the rear of the car is exactly the same, which makes many people think that Sylphy is the descendant of Bluebird, but it is not. To be exact, Xuanyi is a hybrid offspring of bluebird and sunshine. \x0d\ Although Sunshine and Bluebird stopped production in Japan for a long time, their North American brothers ALTIMA (American Bluebird) and SENTRA (American Sunshine) continue to produce. However, many ALTIMA and SENTRA are imported into China through private or informal channels (to private car importers and used car markets).
