Nissan Pintara
The Nissan Pintara was a mid-sized family car built by Nissan Australia. It was a four-cylinder version of the 1986 Nissan Skyline, built and sold in Australia to challenge the Mitsubishi Magna.
It was replaced in 1989 by a car initially hyped by the media as 'Project Matilda', which turned out to be a locally produced version of the Nissan Bluebird rather than a model uniquely designed for Australia as initial stories had indicated. In Australia, this was sold as the Nissan Pintara, and was available as a locally designed five-door 'Sportshatch' (exported back to Japan, and to New Zealand as a Bluebird).The model was cancelled in the early 1990s when Nissan Australia ceased local production.
Under the Button Plan, in which local manufacturers shared models, Ford Australia marketed a rebadged version of the Pintara sedan and hatchback as the Ford Corsair.
