Nissan Gazelle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nissan Gazelle is a compact two-door coupe produced by Nissan, based on the Nissan S platform. It was produced for the Japanese and Australian markets only. The Gazelle is a sister car to the Nissan Silvia. It was produced so that Nissan's different dealership networks in Japan could all carry the Silvia. There are minor cosmetic differences. Both the S110 and S12 Silvias have a Gazelle counterpart.
The S12 Silvia in Japan was available as a hatch as a basic model only, but the S12 Gazelle in Japan was strictly a hatch, available in regular, RS and RS-X variants, as was the Silvia notchback.
In the Australian market the S12 chassis, notchback and hatchback, was only sold as the Nissan Gazelle, in GL (normal) and SGL (luxury) forms.
When the S13 Silvia was introduced in 1988, the Gazelle nameplate was eliminated. The Nissan 180SX was introduced in its place in Japan. In Australia, there would not be a replacement until the introduction of the Silvia-based Nissan 200SX in 1995.
