== Nissan Silvia based ==
In 1995, Nissan reintroduced the 200SX nameplate in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. Based on the then-current generation B-14 Sentra, this two door economical sports-coupe was the replacement for the B-13 [[Nissan Sentra|Sentra]] coupe that had ended production with the rest of the B-13 line the previous year.

Between 1975 and 2002, Nissan retailed the Silvia as the 200SX in many export markets. Six generations were made in both coupé and hatchback body styles, with new models released in 1979, 1984, 1989, 1993, and 1999. These cars received a variety of different nameplates depending on the importer.
The 200SX came in three trim levels throughout it's production run: base, SE, and the sportier SE-R models. All three trim levels shared the same overall appearance, with minor changes or additions such as a spoiler, different wheel options, or ground effect body kits to differentiate the three trim levels apart.

The 200SX has a [[Front-engine,_front-wheel-drive_layout|front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout]] (FWD). Base and SE trim levels shared the B-14 Sentra's twin-cam [[Nissan GA engine|GA16DE]] engine [[Inline-four engine|4-cylinder]] engine. The SE-R received an all aluminum version of the 140-horsepower 2.0&nbsp;L [[Nissan SR engine#SR20DE|SR20DE]] engine used in the 2-door Sentra SE-R it replaced. Transmission options for all three trim levels were either a 5-speed [[manual transmission]] or 4-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]]. The SE-R trim level in 1995 came with a [[Limited-slip_differential#Viscous|Viscous Limited-Slip Differential]], or VLSD, to maintain traction on the front, drive, wheels. This was a standard feature on the SE-R trim level that was only available during it's first year run. It was dropped after 1995 as this feature was deemed too costly for a car in its class. All trim levels were equipped with dual airbags and antilock brakes were optional on the SE and SE-R. At the time the price for a new 200SX ranged from $14,269-17,549.
