I finally figured out the "B" in "B-210" etc. stands for "Bluebird." I don't know why they would keep the Bluebird name tho.

What? I think you're mistaken.

The B210 was a Sunny as sblake01 mentioned or also known as the 120Y.

B210 is just the chassis code.

Much like

C110 for my Skyline

or

C210 for the model after mine.

I disagree about the name sharing though, the Bluebird is a distinct line of cars. The Maxima did branch off the Bluebird however.

210's (1957-58), PL-310's, PL-311's, PL-312's (1959-1963), 410's, 411's (1964-67), 510's (1968-1973), 180B's, 200B's, 610's, 810's, 910's, and even the Stanza/Altima (U11-U13) have all been 'Bluebirds'. Where is the commonalty there?

The commonality lies in the traits and functions of the car the Bluebird is a light, small-medium sized, economical, basic car (in road form).

Just as the Z or Fairlady is a sports car, despite the slow deviation from being a dedicated sports car, it's still a sports car from the SP311, S30, S130, Z31, Z32, Z33.. it's name and shape has changed dramatically since the start but it still fills the same gap in the current generation that the previous did for it's.

They're not going to retain everything the same, such is the evolution of anything. Changed and moulded as suited.

If you ask someone what a Bluebird is, they'll more than likely say it's a cheap, small-medium sized economical family car.

At least that how it seems to be over here, perhaps and more than likely it's different in the US, I would imagine it is.

I bet you could go into a Nissan dealer and ask to see a "bluebird" car. the guy will look at you like you're nuts and tell you there no such car at Nissan. but as we all now know, there IS...

Next time I feel like causing trouble I'll go do that instead of ordering Pizza at the Radio Shack.
