Cambridge Must Have Been Really Bored 1 Weekend
Survey Says Nissan Drivers Are Relationship Material
According to Cambridge University research into customers' personalities, Nissan owners happen to be some of the most generous, loyal and friendly of all car drivers.
The study, using data from a cross-section of 824 drivers, also revealed that Nissan owners are much more likely to think of others before themselves and be more interested in economic welfare and social justice.
"Personality assessment and automotive design are a perfect match", argued Dr Richard Mills, Doctor of Psychometrics at Cambridge University's Psychometric Center. "Our research shows that Nissan drivers are generally seen as trusting, soft-hearted, generous and sympathetic. They are considerate and friendly, and think other people are honest and decent, as opposed to competitive and self-interested."
Dr Mills added that "Psycho metrics allows Nissan to shape the customer journey and build cars that owners can fall in love with, in much the same way as they do with other people. Nissan owners clearly recognise and value having close and personal relationships with loved ones, making them the perfect partner."
Nissan is using psycho metrics (personality profiling) in an effort to improve the experience behind the wheel of their cars, online, in showrooms as well as in service centers across Europe.
The survey also uncovered the fact that the vast majority of the owners are already in long-term relationships, which means you may have to wait some of those out.

Hopefully The Brand Re-Invents Its Image, And Quickly
DRIVEN: Lexus RC-F - Has Boring Been Banished From The Brand?
Fortunately for everyone’s inner Speed Racer, Toyota President Akio Toyoda is demanding more passion from his luxury division. And lo, the engineers have delivered the RC F. With plenty of oomph from its 5-liter V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, all wrapped in a two-door coupe, the RC F ventures into territory defined by the Camaro SS and Mustang GT. To find 467 horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque throbbing under the aluminum hood of a Lexus is heartening.
