Neither of the two members who posted insinuated that they actually are clones.Supercourse wrote:This specialist forum should be careful not to perpetrate a common misconception.
The 2 cars may be a similar physical size (G20 slightly longer wheelbase and overall length, and a bit heavier), but the G20 was made in Japan, the Sentra in the U.S. (for a time) & Mexico.
Two different platforms (P10/11 vs. B13/14) with different front and rear suspension.
If the term "clone" is to be used, the only true statement was that the G20 was a re-badged version of a particular model of the Nissan Primera, built at that time in N.E. England.
Repair costs would generally be higher for the G20 because of more limited availability of either new or used parts other than engine components, and the fact that it has more standard power accessories.
Maintenance costs might be fairly similar, other than for things like rear brake discs, etc.
