508 coupe

Post by sirwiggum »

Where is it???

Need it on sale now such that when I come to replace the Honda in a few years I can afford one!

That, or the recently orphaned Laguna coupe... (which seems to sell a lot better than the hatch did!)

Great! I've got a spare set of wheels for one already!

Please advise the proprietor of the pictured haulage undertaking that wheels for J4 vans are now almost unobtainable, however doggy has determined that those from a Rover SD1 will fit after a simple oxy-acetylene modification to the centre hole. [/useless information]

1 horsepower, top speed of 5 mph, 15 miles per carrot, difficult to coldstart in -10 degrees temperature (prone to dying. literally.), available in a range of colours ranging from black, brown, brown with a racing strip on teh nose, to audi white.
Emissions are a bucketful per mile. Can be used kers-like as compost to grow medicinal plants.

I'd still rather have one over a qashCow.

But yes, that's a far better-looking vehicle than just about anything Nissan produces.

Leaf = horrible
Juke = horrible
Micra = horrible
Qashqai = horrible
370Z = horrible to look at, but I guess it's a hell of a fun car to thrash around a track

The exception is the GT-R which isn't exactly drop-dead gorgeous, but I can certainly see the appeal. If someone gave one to me, I wouldn't be compelled to run them over in it afterwards, unlike all their other current offerings.
