This van was introduced to North America in 1986, following a similar-styled Toyota product a couple of years previous. Being midengined and short wheelbase, neither the Toyota nor Nissan sold well, the Chrysler minivan was the popular choice if you wanted a small van. The Toyota at least lasted 6 years in the North American market before being replaced by the Previa. The Nissan had a 2.4 litre engine crammed under the front seats, too much engine in too small a space and was known to have caught fire in at least a few cases. Nissan issued recall after recall, till they decided to buy them all back in 1994.
