Aha! A Sentra looks very like a Primera - I think it may be the same thing under a different name - here is a rather sporty looking Primera - http://www.thhe.dk/Nissan_Primera_01.jpg
In Europe they are made in Sunderland - a former ship-building city in the North East of England, and they are very similar in size, shape etc to out Octavia.
Most American cars look highly inefficient to Europeans - when we see them on TV, or in the flesh, they don't seem to have any more cabin space than our category 'family car' (the Octavia is officially a small family car), nor any more boot (trunk) space - the boot on the Octavia is so big that I can't actually reach the back of it without either a stick in my hand, or my feet off the ground. So all we can assume is that they have lots of spare outside and engine compartment - a sort of phallic thing!
The road tests on the c3 suggest I'll get about 47mpg. Of course we pay something like $8 a gallon for petrol.
