The Nissan S-Cargo is a small !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! commercial van manufactured by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The styling of the S-Cargo was directly inspired by the appearance of the small postwar French !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Fourgonnette delivery van; it even used a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! style single spoke steering wheel. The 2CV was in its final years of production in the late 1980s and had a niche popularity in Japan at this time. Its name was a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! meaning both "Small Cargo" as well as " !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It has a small cult following, in spite of being criticised for looking "toy like". Its rarity, quirky looks and huge signage panels make it an attention-grabbing vehicle. Both !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have used it for mobile billboard advertising.

I'd rock and S'cargo as my daily. But i'd want to swap in like a Sentra SE-R powertrain, or something alone those lines, a manual trans swap at the least. no power, and a 3 speed auto. No thank you.
