"...What the fuck is the Nissan Pike Factory?"

First off... BWAHHAHAHAA WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LMAO

Second of all, this thing is actually really cool. It's NOT a Kei Car funny enough, It did fit the size of a Kei Car, but it doesn't fit the criteria for it's engine, which is a 987 cc (1.0 Liter) Inline-4 Engine making a BEASTLY... 75 Horsepower. Yeah that's it.

But the coolest thing about it is without a doubt, is it's history. See the Figaro part of the same 'Chassis' as the Nissan BE-1, in a form of... inter-company competition in designing cars. It was done because Nissan's other small cars for sale, the Nissan March (then becomes the Micra) is not selling well. So they do this competition where someone who can come up with the best redesign wins and the car gets produced in a limited quantity and be given this very 'Limited' status with official claim saying that 'It was made by the Nissan Pike Factory.'

But in truth, the 'Pike Factory' is not a real place, while the 'Pike Division' of the company is real, the Factory was simply just a random Nissan Factory. So technically... It was just redesigned Nissan March. That was redesigned for the 4th times. Because prior to the Nissan Figaro, it was originally the Nissan BE-1, then it became the Nissan S-Cargo, and then the Nissan Pao, which all of these... started off as the Nissan March.
