Cool, 6 forward gears, guessing the marketing team got loose at this one. 6 sounds better then 3 :) Which was the main downfall of the 60 Series in Oz. Large distances in a slow 3 speed, when the competition had a 4 speed :)

Usually on a 4x4 they can/will count high and low gears, so you have 3 forward high gears and 3 forward low gears, giving you 6. Probably just a marketing tactic.

I've heard of this in trucks, but not common practice on 4WD';s in Oz at least. Still makes me laugh

In Fact, its a fact but 8 or 10 would have rocked.Datsun actually beat all lower priced sportscars in 67.5 with a 5 speed in the SRL2000 roadster.
