Although the nameplate says “Sylphy”, this is more than likely the 2013 Nissan Sentra, set to replace t he dreadful current generation car.

The Chinese market Sylphy will launch with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine and a CVT – another less-than-exciting combination, but one that would be in character for Nissan and also allow for excellent fuel economy.

1. It doesn't have gunslits for windows, which gains it a lot of points. 2. It is a nice interior. 3. I could get comfortable behind the wheel of the old Sentra, so it has stayed on my radar screen as a longhaul commuter, even if uncompetitive. Suspect the legroom and driver position won't change from the old one.

Looks very nice, much better than the current Sentra and cars like the Cruze, Elantra, and Lancer. Nissan's new sedans are quite nice looking.

KOKing Unless you're an employee (or even if you are) does anyone care where physically any company is headquartered? Until I saw this story pop up, I'd forgotten that GM used to be in the 'Cadillac Building' until whenever it was they moved into RenCen (and that RenCen wasn't even built for GM). It's not like GM moved to Bermuda or something for a tax shelter (and I dunno maybe they ARE incorporated there legally?)
Fred It just makes me question GM's management. Do they save rent money? What about the cost of the move? Don't forget they have to change addresses on their forms. New phone numbers? Lost hours?
SilverHawk It's amazing how the domestic manufacturers have made themselves irrelevant in the minds of American consumers. Someday, they'll teach this level of brand disassociation in marketing classes as an example of what "not to do". Our auto interests once revolved around these brands. Now, nobody cares, and nobody should care. Where did I put the keys to my Studebaker?
El scotto Will it get GM one mile closer to the Gates of Hades? This is a company that told their life long employees not to sell their stock until the day of bankruptcy.
28-Cars-Later I'm curious, is the Maverick in "EV mode" when its towing?"There's still car-like handling -- no punishment because you're driving a truck." That's because its not a truck, its akin to the earlier Ranchero - a literal car-truck hybrid now with an available gasoline hybrid drivetrain (that's actually hilarious and awesome, hybrid-hybrid FTW).
