Most
Likely to Change the World:
Nissan Sentra CA
 We
used to think that the only vehicles that could clean up
our air, and therefore solve the pollution problems so many
cities face, were electric cars. And if it weren’t
for the limited range, the limited capacities, the limited,
well, everything that electric cars force us to deal
with, they might have been the reality. Fact is, as much
as we want clean vehicles, we need real cars to help
us with our real-world conditions. Well, enter the Nissan
Sentra CA, a discreet compact sedan full of under-the-skin
feats of engineering that, to make a long story of catalytic
converters short, clean the air.
Although
the CA takes normal gasoline, and burns it in a normal four-cylinder
engine, the emissions from the tailpipe are virtually free
of pollutants! Don’t ask us how it’s done, just
know that you can buy one for only $15,319, only a few hundred
dollars more than a comparably equipped Sentra GXE! The
Nissan Sentra CA is the kind of car that you can feel good
about owning, knowing you’re doing something really
positive about the environment, while giving up nothing—nothing—to
more polluting vehicles in terms of livability and style.
After all, the new Sentra is good enough to win this year’s
Most Vivacious Personality Award, our top honor for an entry-level
vehicle, so to add environmental fortitude to the picture
and you get one superb vehicle. Certainly the Sentra CA
is good enough to earn our Most Likely to Change the World
Award for 2001. And change the world it will—for the
better.
