I've been looking for a cheap car that is also the pinnacle of luxury. Perhaps I can get him a Nissan Maxima GLE.

YouTube comment from the film maker:
+Nissan bought the car!

See the Nissan post here.

Being in the industry, I can't tell you how many times low budget productions try to wing it. We've shot "period" pieces where we are constantly contending with that. Especially when a brand new fancy looking car drives past while shooting a 1980's short. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Nissan Leaf wasn't around yet . . . .

Your video, Heat Sensitive Nissan Skyline R33, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Price yes. Infrastructure I don't know. The Tesla branded charging stations, escpecially their Super Chargers, aren't readily available enough yet, but Charge Points are available in plenty for a car with Tesla's range, and they got an adapter to accept Charge Point. I'm not sure how the Chevy/Nissan dealers would take to people parking their Tesla at one of their charge points (based on what I've read it can be hit or miss, and call ahead is generally requested either way). Of course those chargers take a long time compared to Tesla's own chargers. I would guess the network will be in place by the time they release their Blue Star... their sub $30k family car.

Fringe last couple of seasons were running Ford and Nissan commercials. Product placement is here to stay folks. It's a commercial that can't be overlayed by local stations.

I think it's more that he fouled up then got a bit lucky.


Yeah, super amateurish loss of control.

>> ^Reefie:

Was that a Lada behind the Porsche?!


I think it's a datsun or nissan of some sorts.

YouTube description (via Google Translate) says:

April 7, 2012, a driver in the car Suzuki Grand Vitara, rode in his car in the showroom Nissan Pelican Auto and gave it a pogrom. There is little information, showroom not comment on the circumstances. It seems no one was hurt ...

Comment witness:
The man on the Grand Vitara, drove straight into the cabin, and called in like 2 times from different angles, twisted on itself, and the cabin has finally parked in the middle of the cash department. Outcome not weak, raskurocheno passenger compartment floor, crumpled at least two demonstration vehicles (X-Trail and Qashqai), completely demolished wall of cash on the street crushed Patrol for a test drive. Thank God, he was told no one was hurt, the girls from the cash register had time to rebound.

Nothing about faulty shocks.

At first I frankly wasn't terribly impressed with his efforts, but in the end I think he did an admirable job.

Also Nissan, not Suzuki.

edit: My mistake. The car being used as a battering ram is in fact a Suzuki though the dealership is Nissan. Maybe that's the problem right there... why would a Nissan dealership replace Suzuki parts under warranty? Just askin'.

A snuff vid. Head-on collision where people died... similar to the exploding Nissan 4wd. Not my idea of entertainment, but the sift votes 6:1 against me.

What'd I miss?

the same crumple technology is built into a nissan

seems reasonable to me its a common issue with batteries.

Just make sure your ammo is in a fireproof box in your coal-powered, taxpayer-funded, rolling electroturd.
In case you hadn't noticed, all American cars are taxpayer funded these days. I can't speak to the Volt, but I've been in a Nissan Leaf with 4 guys and the car was surprisingly powerful. And needless-to-say, the Tesla vehicles do not suffer from any kind of performance deficiency. So go ahead, laugh it up while you're paying $4-5 for a gallon of corn juice that'll carry you about 20 miles or so. Meanwhile, the electric car owners will spend $4-5 on a full charge of a 200 mile battery pack.

[edit] I don't know why, but I was thinking the Volt was all electric. Screw these hybrids, Detroit. Spend some damn R&D money on battery energy density.


Quality source you got yourself there. This is most likely bullshit...like the Toyota Prius crap that turned out to be a BUNCH of Fucking lies. I'm waiting until more evidence comes out...but I'm sure sensationalist news sites won't.
