    Brockville Nissan UPDATE: opening 2016. (city's newest dealership)

    (UPDATE March 2016: confirmed... dealership now under construction. See below.)

    Rumour had it that one of the dealers in town was looking at bringing in a Nissan store.

    It makes sense:

    - They're Canada's fastest growing automotive brand (which they keep trumpeting in their advertising).

    - The next-closest dealerships are Kingston to the west (~85 km), Cornwall to the east (~100 km), and Smiths Falls to the north (~50 km). Which would explain the relative lack of Nissans around here.

    Maybe one day soon I can stop complaining that I hardly ever see any Micras.

    rumour confirmed!

    Looks like we'll be seeing a few more Micras around Eastern Ontario soon!

    They're renovating an old car dealership on highway 29 a couple of km north of the 401. It was once a Chrysler location.

    The funny thing is: I'm pretty sure there used to be a Datsun dealer here back in the day. (Before I got here.)

    But it's been a very long time since anybody's seen a "Brockville Datsun" logo on the back of a car. Those cars would have been recycled into VCR's long ago.

    Yup, it folded in 1982. Google is amazing.

    Ottawa Citizen, Sept. 30, 1982:

    Dealership folds

    BROCKVILLE -- Brockville Datsun, the only Datsun dealership between Cornwall and Kingston, has declared bankruptcy, leaving a staff of 12 out of work.

    Dave Williams, owner of the dealership for the last 16 months, had little to say except most former employees have found new jobs.

    It's coming along.

    Rumour is the owner of the Kia dealer (next dealership down the road) has the franchise.

    Not much selection yet -- looks like all they're selling are F150's and white contractor's vans.

    Must have arrived yesterday or today. The lot is now decently full of Nissans instead of just contractors' vans & Ford F150's.

    But only 3 Micras (??), and all are SV automatics. Considering there are 6 or 7 Versa Notes, that doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? The Micra has been outselling the Note forever, and by a wide margin.

    Well, there's more profit in a Note, so you can't fault them for trying.

    The showroom/sales area of the building is still not ready. It's empty inside.

    I'll be watching for the official opening announcement & go introduce myself to the sales people & tell them about the forum.
