Seems Nissan has been really smart by aiming at the fleet market. Read a few days ago here on Jalop about how the 4-cylinder Frontier is selling like hotcakes too.

As a guy who makes his living fixing cars, I just have to starting the car up and running it without thoroughly looking it over for damage first is a HORRIBLE idea.....as evidenced by the huge puddle of coolant (hopefully) or oil (hope not :( seen after the car drives off.

Thanks for your support! I'm 6 foot 4 and I can just barely fit in a regular airline seat, with my knees basically at the seat back in front of me. If I were any taller or even slightly overweight, it would be horrible. So I agree 6 foot 5 would probably be a horrid experience.

Looks pretty good for just wingin' it! Don't know why they went with the enourmous wheels that stick out well past the rest of the body though...it'd look much closer to the real thing if they were sized right.

Watched this happen during the coverage and was waiting for Deadspin to weigh in...I didn't think the questions were out of the ordinary, but I was disappointed how long NBC stayed with the shot of Miller crying with his head in his hands. They'd already got the reaction they wanted during the interview, it seemed…

Are those that rare? When I was a valet parker in San Francisco I drove these pretty regularly....Exactly like you'd think—a minivan with a really lovely interior!

Thanks, great info here, TheCrudMan. Your comment is what I was hoping to find when I clicked on the story. I was pretty disappointed with the seemingly random and explanation-less list above, so thanks for making up for it.

I live in Hawaii and a couple of these places have popped up...at least one that's a food truck!

Is that a tractor-trailer bus? It looks like it to me...

I agree, clearly you can find much better deals in Europe. But I'm sure that getting a car imported, through customs, and registered is not for the faint of heart. A car that's already here and legal is appealing I'm sure.

All the comments so far seem to be about heads of state and such—people who don't drive themselves for security reasons.

I'm sure the Tesla pickup wouldn't be aimed at the person who buys a truck for hard work, long distance towing, construction, hauling, ranching, whatever. Even if the Tesla could do all those things, the people who buy it will be the same people who buy full-size trucks loaded with luxury options and absurd trim…

I dig it.

Pretty sure from the description the driver/team had rented out the track for testing/practice, hence nobody cared as they may well have been the only people there.

Meh...I'd totally daily drive chinese-built hummer knock off, but I'm holding out for a knock-off Veyron.

Is it weird that I kinda want one?

I also had a Ford Focus rental and was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was to hustle through the mountains. The button layout was horrid indeed. Still worlds ahead of the Kia Rio and Chevy Aveo's I've rented, but the best rental car I had this year was a Chevy Malibu I think....

No it's not my business, and he's clearly free to do what he wants....but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it. And to clarify, I meant I don't respect the way he trashes his stuff, not that he doesn't respect his own things. It's a free country, you're free to trash your Lambo if you want to. In fairness to Bam…

I get that he does these things for publicity, but I still think it's pretty disgusting. "Let me flaunt my wealth and status by fucking up my supercar...." No respect.

The problem wasn't that it was a new brand, the problem was that it was a Daewoo...
