The only car to this day (and I'm 37) that I've ever ran out of gas.

Woody-

If I remember correctly, my 1970 MG Midget had a six (6) gallon gas tank and a logarithmic gas gauge. You had to consume 5 gallons of gas to go from FULL to 1/2, and then the last gallon took it the rest of the way to "E". On more than one occasion I found myself coasting into a gas station with the electric fuel pump banging away behind me trying to gather the last few drops to feed the dual carbs. Fortunately, at 40 mpg it could stretch a gallon, and at 1,600 pounds it was easy to push.

LOL...

The 4-door was obviously photoshopped.

From what I have read it is virtually impossible to build a mass-produced 4-door convertible and still meet US side-impact standards. Rolls-Royce may be able to do it, but I doubt Nissan can pull it off.

Was at the dealership for routine service, and my salesman showed my the brochure for the Crosscabriolet aka Murano convertible. It's a two-door with rag top. Doesn't work for me, but there may be those who like it. I didn't take a copy or I'd have scanned and attached a photo.
