Has anyone seen "Passion Red"?

abailey362, I've thought a lot about the Nismo and looked at some used ones. Prices vary widely, from great deals to not so great. My hesitation with the Nismo is that I don't find the seats very comfortable (and neither does my wife). I'm 'older' (60-ish) and 'not small' (6 ft, 210 lbs), so it's a tight fit in the Nismo seats. They're OK for a short ride, but I don't think they would be very comfortable on a long one. My wife is fairly petite, and they're even uncomfortable for her.

I've thought about getting a Nismo and swapping out the seats for either Sport seats, or pre-2014 Nismo seats (which are basically Sport seats). But, that's a plan with multiple potential points of failure (shipping seats back and forth is expensive; and it would likely ruin the resale value of the Nismo).

The search for an honest Nissan dealer continues, so far without any luck...
