Nissan invited KeriBlog to Montreal with the Micra

Remember a couple weeks ago, when I said KeriBlog had a big win? And that when the ticket was booked, and the win solidified, I’d tell you about it?

Done.

Nissan invited my blog to their Canadian launch of their 2015 all-new Micra.

As in, I got the same invite as the newspapers and magazines.

And first wave too, not thrown in at the end of the program.  Tada!

Here’s my bigger blog post about the Micra, which is built specifically for Canada, and, with a starting price of $9,998, will be the lowest priced car in the country.

Thanks Nissan, this had a bigger affect than you may realize.

 

 

Chrysler’s 2015 All-new 200 Sedan

It’s Chrysler’s 2015 all-new 200 mid-size sedan.

Read my full review on Autonet.ca.

Short review:

With its upscale interior and exclusive 9- spd. transmission, in the mid-size sedan segment Chrysler just went from barely competing, to the one to compete against.

The launch was in Louisville, Kentucky.

Here’s the post about that, and what driving in Kentucky looks like [video].

It’s quite different from the model it’s replacing, which was known as a rental car (think of the Sebring), so therefore, not popular with the average consumer (because who wants to buy a car known for being a rental).

This new model ought to change that.

The interior is where Chrysler bests the competition, mainly because of the spacious, open centre console, thanks to the addition of an E-shift.

That E-shift is something we’ll start to see much more of, all automakers are moving to them.

It was a well executed launch, here’s a video still that wasn’t good enough to edit.

Not all launches have neat stuff, like this interior cutaway.

Engine/transmission: 2.4L 4-cylinder & 3.6L V6 / 9-spd automatic

Power/torque: 208 hp/ 258 lb-ft (4-cylinder) & 295 hp / 262 lb-ft (V6)

Starting at $22,495

Oh, and the 200 will not only parallel park itself, it’ll perpendicular park too.
