    Well, I wasn't to far off about wanting a Mazda from it. Apparently it was a shipment of about 4,700 new mazdas. about 60% were Mazda 3's and about 30% were mazda CX-7's.

    I'll take a salvage CX-7 for $2,000 please

    Nissan will accomodate the loss by making the interiors of their cars even worse than they are now.
