Default Gentlemen, I present to you - Leeloo

Leeloo means: The 5th Element - For a lack of a better word : PERFECT.

The long wait is over. And WOW! What can I say. One hell of a car!

Doesn't appear to be a US model. Note the width of the rear license plate cut out and his location (RSA). Are the side marker lights standard?

I'll guess......Republic of South Africa. Also, notice the rear fog light. The red lamp where our back-up lights are.

Hi.

Thanks so much for the great response!

RSA is indeed South Africa. We fall under the Europe market. South Africa get only one model - TRACK. Brembos, 6 air bags, BOSE , leather seats - basically full house. (B.t.w. the BOSE sounds awesome! I do not know why you guys complain about it?)

We where suppose to get the rays mags, but there where confusion when they imported the car. Mine the very first in SA! The rest will follow next month. Nissan are waiting for the correct mags and mats. They forgot to import the mats!?

Luckily, I know the General Manager of Nissan SA, so he arranged for early delivery...

Yes, I see in the manual that the run in time is 2000Km. Why so much?

The car costs R390,000. (rand) That is about $48750. The exchange rate is currently just under $8 for 1 rand.

I also notice that you do not need to get a oil change round about 5000Km? Why?

Yes, they are standard on the Europe model.

What is also cool: There is a button to fold the mirrors inward.
He he, I dig it!

What is not so cool: I cannot open the windows from the key's remote. That sucks.
