Nissan never had a Mr Katayama in Europe.
Now it's more SUV and pickup's than
passenger cars. At least in Sweden.
I think we will see more Nissan/Renault
projects in Europe soon. Renault Scenic
just got 4WD from Nissan. By the way,
did you know that we had a 4WD Primera
(G20 - USA) with the SR20DE in Europe?
It was only available in a few markets.
