I can't belive that Nissan made a car (Serena) that had the reputation for many years of being the slowest car in Britain. It had a 0-60 mph time of 28 seconds!! I was watching an old episode of Top Gear and couldn't believe my ears when they said that. I watched it again this time with subtitles and it did say 28 seconds in the subtitles.

Ahh...wakopedia says it either came with a diesel four or an SR20 (LOL!).

Styling reminds me of the NX Egg mixed with the US Quest.

That's 'cause the Serena has an SR and the 240 only has a KA.

I kinda dig it, in a "kei bubble" sort of way.

28 seconds seems long though, even for a kei car. That must've been the diesel, but even then that's ridiculous.

If you under 18 and want to drive, you should only be able to drive the Serena. This should reduce teenage traffic fatalities.

Will probably eliminate teen pregnancy. Nothing scares the p*ssy away more than an egg van.

Well, other than me in a ski mask.

I've never seen that car before though, and those aren't the stock wheels right?

I still think there was a Chevy that was slower ... I can't think of the model, but it was an UGLY 4 door hatch diesel from the early 80's.

Off to google I go
