1 Fundamental Car Groups, 1981-2011
FUNDAMENTAL CAR GROUPS, 1981-2011 (Shared Body Platforms) 1. The first line of the definition assigns a five-digit number to the car group; the first two digits indicate the manufacturer, based on FARS codes (1=AMC, 6=Chrysler, 12=Ford, 18=GM, etc.); the last three digits are sequential and generally chronological for that manufacturer. 2. The second line assigns a name to the car group and gives the limits of the range of model years for the various make-models in the car group. Car groups are often named after the largest selling make-model with that body platform and/or the wheelbase of that platform (to the nearest inch). 3. The third line shows the wheelbase of the cars in that group, as derived from "New Car Specifications" in Automotive News or Ward’s Automotive Yearbook. 4. The remaining lines list the specific make-models included in the car group, including a five-digit make-model code, the make-model name (plus additional specifications such as "4-door" if not every car of that make-model is in that car group during the specified time period), a range of model years, and the VIN characters that identify specifically which cars belong to this car group (V3 is the 3rd character of the VIN, V34 is the 3rd and 4th character, etc.).

2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R
Page 1 of 10 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R The 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Sports Sedan - The Legend Returns Nissan has a rich history in the value-driven sports sedan segment, first created by the Datsun 510 in the late 1960s and rekindled with the legendary 1991 Sentra SE-R. The 2002 Sentra SE-R fulfills that role and ensures that Nissan’s leadership in this segment will continue. Initially shown at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, this new model will be available for sale in fall 2001 in SE-R and ultimate-performance SE-R Spec V models. The original SE-R, produced from 1991 to 1994, was based on the third generation Sentra 2-door sedan. Even though it looked similar to a standard Sentra, a 140-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine gave it lots of punch. The SE-R was a Car and Driver “10 Best” winner four times and an Automobile “All- Star” twice, not to mention a favorite of autocrossers and grassroots racers. Even though the Sentra SE-R left after the 1994 model year, it has kept a large enthusiast base with numerous nationwide clubs, magazine project vehicles and motorsports activities. Amongst all of these groups there was one unified cry – bring back the Sentra SE-R. “We are happy to present the 2002 Sentra SE-R to driving enthusiasts everywhere,” said Bill Kirrane, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. “This car surpasses the original in every aspect and is worthy of the SE-R moniker.” SE-R Style “The first Sentra SE-R was quite understated,” said Kirrane.
