To paraphrase Tony Judt, Toronto is not the great Canadian city – that will always be Montreal. And I'll be going there next week to test out the Canadian-exclusive Nissan Micra.
Nissan says that Montreal was picked due to the European character that the city is known for, and is reflective of the Micra's European roots blah blah blah. What's really interesting is the fact that the Micra is basically the ideal car for Quebec, a province full of narrow streets, high gas prices and notorious skinflints who still demand cars without A/C, power features or automatic transmissions.
The much touted $9,998 price tag may be a loss-leader gimmick in the rest of the country, but those base edition cars will sell in decent numbers in Quebec, especially in the northern regions where it never really gets hot enough to need A/C. Let us know what you want to learn about one of the first low cost cars to come to the NAFTA zone outside of Mexico.
