What car is this

[XS650]

I found out from a local what this one is, does anyone else in the US know?

They are Accord/Camry size and look a lot better than my lousy pictures make them look.

The hotel I stayed in in Santiago Chile had a fleet of them for hotel cars. They are very nice looking cars in person.

I saw a car of this brand in Florida. It was smaller, Geo sized I would say. I have no idea what brand it is.

Bingo. I didn't know they made cars until I saw those.

They're actually a huge conglomerate. not a bad car. I wonder if they will break into our market.

It's a Samsung-Renault joint venture and shares the chassis with Nissan.

Did you stop at "The Last Pisco Sour" mini-bar at the airport? That place charges exorbitant prices for a lousy pisco sour.

I was thinking something about it looked like Nissan. Does not look bad at all.

 

[crinkles]

did you feel the quake?

That logo reminds me of tamper proof screw heads like you'd find in a Greyhound station lavatory.

If the one next to it is the same model, I'm impressed. It looks like a Buick Lucerne.

I'd been home in California 10 days when the quake hit. If I'd been there, I would have felt it judging by the number of collapsed buildings and highways in Santiago.

The country was doing very well for with a bright looking future.

Edit: I just read a news report quoting someone who was on the 19th floor of the Crowne Plaza where I stayed. That building survived as did most modern buildings.

XS650,

I notice you are always traveling to different countries.

I've been in Santiago for earthquakes several times. They take it in stride. Once I was on the 23rd floor of the Hotel having breakfast. Coffee and juice went out of the glasses, the waiters just cleaned and filled like nothing happened.
