It all changed once Nissan decided to move into the biggest segment here with a car that has been making waves all across the automotive sphere – the Micra.

Latest in the legendary ‘Z’ family and successor to the 350Z that was made popular in a whole barrage of computer games, the 370Z was the perfect brand-builder for Nissan. It doesn’t end there though – Nissan has bigger plans for India and the journey for this manufacturer here has just begun. |
