(Yes, really). The fourth car was the Nissan Figaro, which, as its name suggests, staked a claim to vaguely Italian styling, even though it was officially a nod to the Nissan Fairlady of the 1960s.

I have to admit I had no idea what I was looking at when I first saw a Nissan Figaro. In Emerald Green, to be specific, as opposed to Pale Aqua, Lapis Gray or, rarest of them all, Topaz Mist.
