Nissan’s Serena, X-Trail and Tiida were all the top selling cars in their class for 2007. To celebrate, Nissan is holding a campaign that will give away one of these cars to a lucky Japanese citizen. Really though, it’s just an excuse to toot their own horn. One X-Trail, please.

Nissan released a 20S No.1 Edition Navi Package for its Serena minivan in honor of it winning something in 2007, we’re not sure what.
UPDATE: It’s to commemorate the Serena’s status as #1 minivan sold in 2007.

Gachapin is this green mascot character that looks like it has a gastrointestinal disorder. I’m not sure what his/her/its purpose is, but there’s a cross-promotional tie-in with the Nissan Serena minivan right now. Get yer Nissan Serena and Gachapin wallpaper here.
