End of an Nisssan Alm-era

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and good riddance to the Nissan Almera.
After six years of skirting the Valley of Death, Nissan's Grim Reapers have finally done the decent thing and killed off the Almera.

Not a moment too soon either for this bland hatch that, yea, lived in the shadow of the Ford Focus.

Amazingly, Nissan managed to churn out 639,000 Almeras from its Sunderland plant, so at least it kept British workers going.

But now the scythe of time has taken the Almera's head, and gone too is the Primera, which dies a whimpering death in the UK even though Nissan's Sunderland factory still makes them for foreign markets.

Still, new life is being breathed into Nissan's northeast factory with production of the Note and Qashqai.
