But theres one bit of news thats more important than the rest.
And you guessed it: theres gonna be an electric Nissan Micra.
I can barely compose myself.

The 2008 Nissan Micra is the best car ever and I cant wait for the new one.

SO FREAKING CUTE (Credit:Auto trader)
I needed a car.

Being a broke-ass student, I finally settled on a second-hand 2008 Micra.
And although my era of endlessly going out has passed, my Micra lives on and I love it.
First up, it has character.

Thats the kinda shit I appreciate.
Plus, its a proper city car.
Its small enough to find parking, and big enough to take me on highway trips.

In all these years, its been my loyal companion.
It even saved me during an accident.
I lost control while taking a steep turn, and the poor Micra sacrificed itself to save me.

Dont worry though, I got it back by paying nearly its purchase price to fix it.
Theres only one thing Id change about my buddy: its filthy-ass petrol engine.
And this is why Im so hyped for the electric Micra.

Okay, we dont know a lot about it, but why does that matter?
Nissan will design it (duh) and Renault will do the engineering and manufacturing.
you’re free to do it, pal, I believe in you.
