The Nissan Figaro is a two-door car manufactured by Nissan in 1991 for the Japanese market. Based on the original Nissan March/Micra, the Figaro is a fixed-profile convertible with a 2+2 seating arrangement. It shares the March's front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. When new, it was sold only through Nissan Cherry Stores.
A total of 20,073 Figaros were produced by Nissan in the convertible's single year of series production[2]—all with right-hand drive;[3] at least several thousand have been grey imported to Britain and Ireland.[4][5] There are a few examples of left-hand drive conversions for countries that have right-hand traffic.[6][7]
Because of its origins at Pike Factory, Nissan's special project group, the Figaro (along with the Nissan Pao, Be-1, and S-Cargo) is one of Nissan's "Pike cars," and represented a design strategy that adapted "design and marketing strategies from other industries like personal electronics."[8]
In 2011, design critic Phil Patton, writing for the New York Times, called the Pike cars "the height of postmodernism"[8] and "unabashedly retro, promiscuously combining elements of the Citroën 2CV, Renault 4, Mini, and Fiat 500".[8]
