Buying – MotorFan Published April 1991
In our ongoing commitment to preserving the legacy of the Nissan Figaro, we are excited to share an insightful article written by Kazunori Morioka, which was published in the April 1991 edition of MotorFan (Volume 45 No 4) just two months after the Figaro made its debut in showrooms. This piece delves into the fascinating development journey of the Figaro, which emerged from the renowned Pike Series. Morioka’s exploration of production numbers and sales channels offers us a unique glimpse into the early days of this beloved vehicle.
As Figaro enthusiasts, it’s always intriguing to reflect on the perspectives of journalists from that era, whether their sentiments were positive or critical. This article highlights the advanced techniques employed in the Figaro’s design, specifically regarding its chassis. The innovative full open-top structure not only preserves the integrity of the body sides but also enhances the vehicle’s overall rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum. Such engineering excellence significantly contributes to the ownership experience, allowing for a blend of style and performance that Figaro owners cherish.
We invite you, our valued members, to share your thoughts and personal experiences related to the developments discussed in this article.
