They had 4WS on a few concepts in the 80's, as did everyone else. But as usual with GM, it didnt hit the market until 2000? 2001?
Concepts are great but they're just that if they don't make it to market. The *only* Nissan car that came to the USA before the Prelude with 4WS was the 300ZX TT in 1990 (Super HICAS) so that's all we recognize. None of the other 4WS Nissans ever made it at all.
