The rumor circulating ( apparently she drives a 2021 Maxima because she finds the vehicle very comfortable, sporty, and luxurious) prompted General Manager Guillaume Michaud and Sales Director Philippe Murray to meet with journalists from the Racines du Racing blog, Montevideo television, and the Ington Herald Car Wash. The meeting reportedly took place at Presto Pizzeria , over a Papa-sized extra-cheesy seafood pizza. A round of sugar pie was even deemed necessary to get to the bottom of this detour.
Speaking from the outset, Guillaume Michaud was keen to defend the integrity of his team: "At Rimouski Nissan, we work very hard to offer the best possible customer service, and our mechanics don't count the hours when it comes to repairing and maintaining our customers' vehicles according to Nissan's highest standards. Of course, we work in a pleasant atmosphere, jokes are frequent, but always in good taste, which can give the impression that getting Eastern Quebec on the road in Nissans is a walk in the park… It's fun, but every minute counts!"
When Philippe Murray asks the journalists, "When you say we don't have end-of-hours hours, don't you mean... Pathfinder ?", the jaws of the interlocutors remain open for several seconds, which allows us to see that at Presto Pizzeria, they are generous with seafood and cheese.
"It's true that when you're comfortably seated in the driver's seat of a Pathfinder with its 6 manual adjustments, powerful 3.5L 284hp V6 engine, Xtronic transmission, dynamic vehicle control, and space for 7 passengers, time just flies!"
However, this conversation between team members had been sent to the media:
Guy : Claudette, I'm leaving a little earlier this evening with Vincent and Fred. If anyone wants to join us, you can give us our mobile numbers.
Claudette : You guys are in charge of your own schedules. As long as the customers come and go from here with a smile, everyone's happy. What are you doing?
Vincent : Max in charge of aesthetics has prepared a Platinum Pathfinder with 4-wheel drive for us… so we're going to test this monster in the woods.
Frédérick : It's important that we fully understand what we're selling.
Claudette : Well yes, well yes, little children! Go play in the mud and trust Aunt Claudette to take care of your appointments.
Guy : You're not an aunt, you're like a mother to us!
Frédérick : Quick Guy, I promised the gang we'd get through before the end of the hour.
Claudette : The gaaannnggg???
Vincent : Well, if we don't use the Pathfinder at full capacity, i.e. seven passengers, it's not a real driving test carried out according to the rules of the art.
Claudette : You're absolutely right. We have to test, and we have to test with masks on!
While driving all the media members, their technical teams, their bulky equipment, and four Mama smoked meat extra mushrooms back to the airport in a Pathfinder , Guillaume Michaud couldn't help but make this confession: "You know, we're passionate about cars at Rimouski Nissan , and the more time we spend with people showing them Nissan vehicles, the more we appreciate the atmosphere at 770 St-Germain Boulevard West and all the scenery along the region's roads. For us, time isn't money: it's more laughter, more answers to people's questions, and more surprises during test drives when our customers discover Nissan's performance."
