Yahoo Autos The 1991 Nissan Sentra Is Finally Going Out of Production
Remember the 1991 Nissan Sentra, the basis for the outstanding B13 Sentra SE-R? Man, that was such a great car. But sadly, it appears that Nissan has finally decided to cancel the B13 Sentra. [Update: See below]
Don't worry, though. The current Sentra isn't going anywhere. But as The Truth About Cars reports, you will no longer be able to buy a 25-year-old Sentra brand new anymore. And it's all because of the meddling government.
Yes, despite the U.S.-spec Sentra ending production in 1994, Nissan continued to sell the B13 Sentra as the Tsuru in Mexico where it's still popular today. Considering it has a base price of around $7000, that's unsurprising. It's also relatively reliable, and is easy to maintain. But Mexico recently passed new safety regulations, and without airbags or anti-lock brakes, those requirements spell doom for the Nissan Tsuru.
So farewell, B13 Nissan Sentra. You had a good 25-year run, and we will always remember you fondly. When you get to where you're going, say hello to the original Volkswagen Beetle for us!
Update: This post was originally published on August 17th, 2016. Today, Nissan officially confirmed its plans to cancel stop production of the Tsuru. It also announced it will build a limited run of 1000 "special commemorative" Tsurus but did not clarify what will make them special.
