Just a few miles south of Anza-Borrego across the border in Mexico, the B13 Sentra—there known as the Nissan Tsuru—was produced and sold as one of the country’s most popular vehicles for 25 years. If you’ve ever taken a taxi in a Mexican city (or, indeed, almost any city in Central America), you’ve likely sat in the four-door version of Bob’s car; it wasn’t until 2017 that Nissan stopped producing the model at its Mexican factories. The scene-stealing “cavalry” of the final chase isn’t merely a Japanese compact vying against American muscle--it’s the sport version of a working-class Mexican icon, pulling up behind two notoriously aggressive cop cars.
