(wolf whistle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) But Roger "Raji" Lowenthal from Be Cool called and wants his pimp coat back. I am seeing Versa's all over the place in my city of 20,000 that happens to have a Nissan dealer, mostly being driven by rather young people and a few gas saving commuters. But looking at the numbers I see a ton more Maxima's than I see Altima's around here, maybe folks in Gallup, NM just like bigger cars? I can't believe Armada sales are up that much though? WTF? A huge gas sucking SUV named after a fleet of Spanish ships that got their butts handed to them because they weren't maneuverable enough, and sales are actually UP?
That is one sweet, bitchin' ride in the photo. The car's not bad, either.
