Nissan Finds "Happiness" With Special-Edition March Model

TOKYO — Nissan has rolled out three special-edition models to mark the 25th anniversary of its March model, including the March 25th Happiness. Two other models, the March Plus Safety and the March Kisekae, were also introduced.

Even though you might expect a car named "Happiness" to be covered in rainbows and polka dots, the model actually comes in a subdued Silky Beige exterior color. It is based on the March 12S and 14S Four models, Nissan said. To up the happiness quotient in the cabin, buyers get an "odor-absorbing" headliner and an automatic interior lighting system.

The March Plus Safety is equipped with side airbags for the front passengers, side curtain airbags and xenon headlights. The March Kisekae, which Nissan says is Japanese for "dress up," gets a choice of two seat covers: "Bubbly" and "Striped."
