I didn't mean it was easy to identify - I meant that the Primera name is more well-known than the Bluebird Sylphy name and therefore easier to guess. I agree that it looks much more like the Bluebird Sylphy, but after all that isn't very strange - the designers probably abandoned that look for a Primera replacement, but decided that it did look quite nice anyway, and went for that design on another car.
As for the Primera not being produced anymore: Wikipedia states that it is still produced for export markets, and probably will be until there is a replacement for the Primera near the end of this decade. I realise that this is not the world's most reliable source, so if it isn't correct, I'm sorry.
This car still is a 1998 prototype for the
latest Primera, anyway
