Never knew the Datsun 200SX/Datsun Silvia/Nissan Gazelle S110 actually sold in Mexico as the Datsun Sakura.

Personally I think the name is even more awesome than Gazelle or Silvia, let alone 200SX... But that's just my opinion. ;)

Reich967 uploaded this 1990 US Nissan 240sx commercial (a pink 240sx!?) I thought I saw it somewhere before...

Perhaps this 1979 US Datsun 200sx commercial?
Datsun 200sx commercial on the next page...


Commercial time: Nissan's rally cars

The Violet from last monday made me think about its rally heritage. The Violet A10 was Nissan's most successful rally car and the later models were powered by the LZ20 DOHC engine we know from the Nissan Super Silhouette Formula cars. Back in 1982 Nissan still appreciated their rally achievements and showed it with this TV advertisement:

The video starts with a the normal Gazelle S110 RS commercial, but shortly after that it shows the Nissan Violet A10 splashing through a big muddy pools and going sideways on the fourth Safari Rally. As a bonus it gets followed by another Gazelle S110 RS commercial! Probably they couldn't get enough of that 4 valve FJ20E engine of theirs! Now that is appreciation! :)
