This little car, introduced in Mexico by Nissan about 2 years ago has been increasingly growing in popularity... It's a pretty ugly sight, and doesn't feel at all like a Nissan. What's worse, those claimed 110hp aren't anywhere to be felt when actually driving the little thing.
And it has one weird engine name: K4M
A 1.6 litre dohc.. Instead of the GA16..
The Nissan Platina:
What is wrong with NISSAN!?!?!

Nothing!
If you're good at observing stuff, you'll easily see that this little sucka is none other than the Renault Clio Saloon.
I have no idea as to why Nissan sells this car instead of Renault of Mexico, they have the Clio line here. Must be Nissan's great popularity what made them do this deal. Nissan owns Renault :P
I think I've actually seen Renault Clio Saloons here, I'll have to check it out...

it looks like you could fit two of those in one parking space...and you can drive it underneath a trailor a la Fast and Furious, without having the trailer modified.....
Well from my driving experience, they have great brakes. And umm.. yeah that's all.
:P
The car is actually kinda tall, I think the seats are kinda high too, because when driving it, you feel like you're driving a mini SUV, since you're so tall and all.
Nissan owns Renault. I'd be willing to bet anything you want that if Renault had launched this as the Clio Saloon, sales would have been less than mediocre. Thanks to Nissan, this car's sales are sky high.

nope, u got it twisted......Renault owns Nissan. Nissan doesnt own jack
If anything, Renault and Nissan probably just have some deal to distribute each other's cars. Somewhat like how GM distributes the vehicles of several Japanese automakers.
