It doesn't take long to connect the dots after taking a quick look at the teaser photos and video of the 2013 Nissan Sentra for the North American market and comparing them with the official imagery of the new Nissan Sylphy sedan that was revealed today at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.

Even though Nissan preferred to use the term "based on the Sylphy" in its press statement for the 2013 Sentra, it is evident that the two cars are more or less one and the same.

We expect that the differences between the two models will be limited to the trim accents inside and out such as the chrome bars on the front grille and the decorative wood panels on the center console, both of which will likely be deleted from the North American version.

Any Nissan Skyline that is or is dressed up to look like a GT-R is bound to capture the attention of any gearhead on the road.

Perhaps the passenger of the vehicle with the dashboard camera gave this souped-up Skyline sedan the evil eye or something of the sorts, because as soon the Japanese model passed by and the driver pressed on the gas pedal, he lost control of the vehicle giving the undercarriage an unwanted makeover.

Moscow Man Tries to Drive Nissan Through a Train Crossing for Pedestrians…

Today, your daily dose of Russian madness comes courtesy of a stubborn driver of a Nissan Teana sedan (loosely related to the older generation Maxima) who for some reason was hell bent to drive over a pedestrian crossing on a train track in Moscow.

Not surprisingly, the car got stuck on the train tracks and being front wheel drive, he couldn't pedal his way out of this situation. Some by-passers quickly came out to help push the Teana back but as soon as they heard the train approaching they left him to watch the disaster that was bound to happen.
