it started with the G60 Patrol
thats what it was called world wide
(the G60 was also a model designation for the Landcruiser 60 series) and the Toyota's were using the numeral designation (40 series, 50 series, 60 series)
so when they updated to the Y160 to make it more "stylish" for the Australian market - they called them the MQ
then it was updated to the Y60 - GQ for Australia (also the beginning of the GR designation as it stood for GrandRoad)
then it was updated to the Y61 - GU for Australia (still having the GR designation in Europe & UK for the GrandRoad specifications)
then it was updated to the Y62 - and Nissan dropped the lettering designation
