Buncha dumbasses. But then again, I'm not that surprised. When I worked for a Nissan dealership out here, I saw the other sales people doing some fairly stupid stuff with the 350Z and G35 coupes on the lot.

This is what happens when you give an $80,000 car to Nissan workers.
phew... that means they only ran your car about 12 times (1/4 mile down and 1/4 mile back), and 2 miles worth of transport.

Actually, rumor has it that for at least one of the cars, it was the owner driving it. He'd just picked it up from the dealer.

Not sure why it would still have the plastic on the seats though ...

Interesting, I recall reading something where the GPS systems were supposed to lock out the "fun buttons" and report back if the cars were driven on unauthorized tracks predetermined by Nissan. Either way, I feel bad for the owners who think they are getting new cars.

That's only in Japan... Too much black box voodoo in that car for me. It records ALL THE TIME. Scary...

It would be interesting to see if anything came of this. The car industry is so shady at times it's sickening.
