Perhaps we do then?

Maybe it's that empty, lonely-looking place next to the Service Department?

That's the one ;)

A few months ago I was at Cribbs where there was a display of car dealers outside where you could have a look round lots of different makes at once. Wessex were there... I sat in a Picanto I think and some knobber of a salesman came over and pretended to lock the door saying 'I'm going to keep you locked in until you buy it!' Errr okay... I swiftly moved on :)
 
I quite liked the original Picanto, a cheeky and individual little car... dont like the current one though. The new Ceed looks almost OK too, better than a Focus anyhow:)
Poor old Nissan, ever since the Renault tie up theyve got worse with reliability. Once, if you had a Nissan it was a dull but reliable motor, now its a dull, ugly and unreliable motor:)LOL. I was so dissapointed with my 2003 Micra, a nice car spoiled by naff quality and underdevelopment...

A second bite at the Alfa Arna concept? :)
 
Nissan Cherry wasn't it? I remember my dad had one an whilst driving up a small incline in 5th gear on the Autostrada he thought the engine was losing power. A couple of downshifts however revealed no problem apart from high gearing and a gutless engine.;)

Yep, a Cherry with Alfasud mechanicals. At a time when Nissans had a reputation for rock solid reliability but dire styling and poor handling for the European market they teamed up with Alfa. You would think to inject some Italian styling but no, they used the Cherry body with what were at the time rather dodgy Italian electrics and created the worst of both worlds. A dodgy handling poorly styled vehicle with poor reliability. Neither the relationship nor the Arna lasted long!
