If you haven't come across this article you might find it interesting. Or terrifying!

Yes, it was a good article that Tom did. I think our articles here / on the fb group were a bit of a driver to put a proper article together.

The new NP300's quoted a being stronger but, when I asked at the dealer's, they couldn't answer where Nissan had made it stronger and if they'd added more metal to the chassis rails or not. I left them with the query and was told they'd be back in touch. That was a few weeks ago now.

Or the sales men went away saying "he asked about thickness of the 'shass-something'? - is that part of the hifi system or the paint scheme or what?"
