[quote R15R35608AN681ER]As I loved the look of its 1200 predecessor, I couldn't believe how badly they mucked up the styling for the 120Y. Much like the 1600/180B successor, the equally awful 200B. Japan seemed to lose its way with styling in the 1970s, particularly Datsun. However, they sold plenty, which is all that really matters in the end.[/quote] At around the same time as the 120Y came out, the 140J/160J Violet was unleashed which encapsulated everything you say, Mark!
