Iirc Nissan also pioneered the concept of a ‘midgate’ in their frontier/xterra concept in the mid? 90s. You know, the one Chevy stole for their Avalanche.

Brings back memories! In college had a 1985 (flat dash), ‘Cinammon orange’, anemic 2.8V-6, 4x4, tinted windows, cassette player with personal CD player adapter (insert tape with chord). 86 update ruined the dash, but these always had a clean, straight design. Classic SUV.
