You know your car is boring when someone driving a 2000 Fiat Palio thinks your new release is 'meh'.

LOL. That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the post heading. My mom had to drive a government one in the 80s. I'll always remember that.

Learned to do handbrake turns and burnouts at age 16 in a friends 1980's version. Thing smoked like a chimney. Good memories...

Almera replacement? Looks ***. In fact I saw a new(ish) Almera sedan yesterday and threw up a little in my mouth.

Unfortunate re-use of the name. If they launch it here they would be well advised to change it, since Nissan Pulsar is permanently associated with "cheap crap car" in SA. Speaking for myself of course, maybe others have different experiences with the original Nissan Pulsar.
Edit:
LOL - not even Wikipedia could find photos of old Pulsar's that didn't look they were falling apart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Pulsar

Nissan Pulsar axed from sale in the UK
Nissan pulls its Ford Focus rival off sale as European production ends, with lacklustre sales figures to blame
Nissan has removed the Pulsar family hatchback from sale in the UK as production of the car at its Barcelona plant ends.
The Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus rival is now no longer available to order or configure on Nissan's website, although dealer stock might still remain available in certain showrooms.
The Pulsar has only been on sale since 2014, the same length of time as the second-generation Qashqai, which has recently been facelifted. The current Juke has also outlived the Pulsar despite going on sale way back in 2010.
The Japanese car maker also axed its family hatch offering, the Almera, back in 2006, with the first-generation Qashqai acting as an indirect replacement and proving a huge success. It re-entered the traditional hatchback market in 2014 with the intention on regaining market share alongside its strong-selling crossovers, but it was a move that didn't seem to pay off as sales remained slow throughout the Pulsar's life.
Just 2100 Pulsars were registered in the UK up until August this year. By comparison, Nissan has registered more than 4500 Leafs since March, despite a base model costing almost twice that of the cheapest Pulsar. Even in the first full year of the Pulsar's life, it struggled to meet expectations; Nissan was aiming to sell 80,000 a year, but only 35,000 found homes in 2014.

Still valid though... thanks to the post made today I saw the thread. Wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
