Merge N10-N12 information with Nissan Pulsar?
It doesn't make sense to have mostly duplicate material on two different pages. This article should be left for just the actual Cherry models, i.e. the E10 and F10. N10 and N12 info should here be integrated into the Pulsar article. Anyone agree with this? --Zilog Jones (talk) 21:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What are actual Cherry models?, N10 and N12 are Cherry in Europe, the first ones werent Cherries here... --&mdash;  Typ932 T  21:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There's no need to have duplicate information on the N10 and N12 here when the Pulsar article is a more appropriate place for them as per every other well-written car page where the original domestic market name is given priority. All that is required here is a brief description and appropriate links. --Zilog Jones (talk) 22:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

F-10 models for N. America
Slight error regarding F-10 models in N. America....two door sedan, two door coupe and two door wagon were all available in N. America. Coupe featured a 5-speed transmission, others 4-speed. the only engine offered for N. America was the A14. 209.29.133.66 (talk) 22:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't recall a "Cherry" in the US nor Australia. "Cherry" was a US slang word for a virgin, at the time. I remember names such as 100, 120, and Sunny, but not Cherry.220.244.78.226 (talk) 04:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Engine options and special Pulsar model called.... Cherry Pulsar... for Belgium
Some interesting tidbits that could be used to enhance the info in the Pulsar or Cherry articles:

- My parents bought a first N12 'Datsun Cherry' in the early eighties. The first was branded 'Datsun' on the left side of the trunk, and 'Nissan Cherry' on the right side. The car was ordered at a time when no N12 brochures were available, and the old, outgoing model was still in the showroom. White was the only color option available when they ordered. The delivery took quite some time.

- Although all the N12 Cherry's I saw on the road in Belgium (and the surrounding countries) were either a DX or GL version, the car we had was not a DX nor a GL:


 * Visually it was not completely identical to the subsequent DX or GL versions. The 'DX' or 'GL' badges were missing, and some materials and protective door plastics were different or missing.  Seats were in skai.


 * The left side mirror (and only outside mirror) was mounted on the door panel, while other Cherry's had a mirror that was located within the window frame, like most modern cars. After an accident the outside mirror was replaced at the dealership by a 'window-frame-mounted' mirror that was adjustable from the inside.


 * The engine was a 1.0 L, while all other engines I saw were either 1.3 or 1.6.


 * When the car was traded in at the dealership after four years, the dealer could not match the model/version/engine combination we had with a book that listed all second-hand cars, models, versions and trade-in prices.

- A few years after the first N12 our second family car was in for a replacement. Our parents bought a second N12. This car had a 1.7 L diesel engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This car was part of a 'limited edition' series that added special equipment to the car. That series was called 'Pulsar', connecting again with the Japanese name for the N12. The Datsun badge was dropped from the trunk. The left side now read 'Nissan Cherry', while the right side displayed a new badge 'Pulsar' in red and black. As far as I can remember this special series was only available in a limited amount of colors (my parents bought a dark blue one), with matching interior colors. The standard seats were replaced by black bucket seats with blue stripes. The inside door panels had similar accents. On the outside the doors and side panels received a red pinstripe, while the front grille had a white strip at the top, just beneath the bonnet. [My parents didn't find that logical and had that stripe overtaped with a very fine red pinstripe. :-) ] Some of that equipement seemed to have been sourced from the Cherry Turbo model that also existed at the time.  The seats were actually quite nice looking, even for today's standards, and had good support.   This model had two outside mirrors, instead of just one on the previous car.

- Nissan Cherry's were actually quite popular in the region were we lived, and they were as oubiquitous as VW Golf's.

- When visiting Italy we noticed the Alfa Romeo Arna, and once parked the 'Pulsar' side-by-side with an Arna. After returning from an evening lunch we saw people running away from our car. Somebody had filled the lock at the driver's side of the car with some sort of glue. We assume a thief wanted to damage the lock, so that we would leave the car for night, leaving plenty of time to steal it. That story now sounds even weirder if you take into account that the Arna was not popular at all in Italy... Maybe the Nissan looked more interesting. :-)

=> Suggestion to be added in article: - 1.0 L engine - 1.7 L diesel engine - 'Pulsar' special series, connecting the 'Belgian' Nissan Cherry again with it's Japanese namesake.

I think the "Popular culture" section in the section for the second-generation Cherry should be moved to the section for the first-generation Cherry, as the Satsuma featured in My Summer Car is based on the first-generation Cherry. AikaFD3S (talk) 03:34, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

The tab "Popular culture" added to the 2nd generation that states the information about the reference in My Summer Car is placed wrong. The car is a 1st generation Cherry. The "Popular culture" section should also be added to the main page, under "Background" instead of in one of the generation tabs, and say the following; "The Datsun 100A E10(known in-universe as the Satsuma AMP and Satsuma AMP GT) is featured in the Finnish video game My Summer Car as the protagonist's main car, that they must assemble, tune, and maintain."

The part under generation 2 says "Popular culture A Datsun 100A (known in-universe as the Satsuma AMP) is featured in the Finnish video game My Summer Car as the protagonist's main car, that they must assemble, tune, and maintain" however, the car in the game is a generation 1 100a, so it should be moved under the generation 1 section 2600:1700:22DC:6800:A45F:6E34:4272:78C (talk) 21:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I believe they are referring to adding Peräjärvi, Finland as a place where the first generation 100A was assembled, as that edit has been made before to this article and has since been removed. Since Peräjärvi is a fictional place, I think it's a no-brainer to not add it, even if My Summer Car fans want it as an easter egg. 120.159.88.90 (talk) 23:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
