Nissan had customization in mind when it manufactured its 2012 Cube. That is more than obvious with more than 40 accessories to help buyers customize their Cubes. Yet it may be the Cube’s unique “wrap-around” rear window that turns most heads, and which enhances safety. Nissan also had affordability in mind. The three Cube models [...]
The Nissan Leaf looks like a sharp car, and if it were not for my choice of a Prius, my wife and I may have bought a Leaf or Volt. This is not a review of the Leaf, only an update about its performance. Auto journalists in Japan (perhaps they were a bit the skeptical [...]
At first glance, $35,000 might seem a lot of money. But if you adjust for inflation, $35k today would be roughly $25,000 in 1996. And about 15 years ago, $25k would have scored some of the great fun cars that the kids yearn for today. Some examples would include Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, [...]
Nissan‘s head of manufacturing and supply chain division, Bill Kreuger, announced that the issues from Japan’s earthquake that shut down several manufacturing plants is not an issue anymore. Nissan North America is about to build a production facility in Smyrna, Tennessee that will focus on producing Nissan’s hot new EV, the Nissan Leaf. The plant is projected [...]
For those of you who didn’t know already, the Nissan Juke is a blast to drive. This funky styled subcompact crossover is equipped with a very strong and entertaining 1.6 liter turbocharged engine. The said fun-car, the Juke, is meant for the urban youth market. The Juke is, in fact, basically a much funner version [...]
Not too long ago, one Nissan brass declared that people do not care about looks when it comes to subcompact cars. After looking at the sales chart for the past year, I would tend to agree with that statement. Nissan Versa is the best selling subcompact car in the US, by a wide margin. And [...]
Every now and then a car comes along which defies categorizing. The Nissan GT-R is one of these cars. Too inexpensive and attainable to be a super-exotic, but far too high-performance to be a car for the masses. And yet, here it is. More to the point, here we are with the keys in hand [...]
Cruising through MyNissanLeaf, we came across a fantastic post by planet4ever. I’ve been really excited that I found this messageboard for awhile now (even linked to it from the Boardwalk Nissan Home Page), and it’s finds like this that prove how useful, and how community oriented boards like that can be. planet4ever took his time [...]
As if the plethora of Chuck Norris jokes that took over the internet wasn’t enough. Prepare yourself for the new breed of Chuck Norris jokes, now with 100% more GT-R. Norris, who just turned 70, decided to add to his repertoire of roundhouse kicks with a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 monster of a Nissan GT-R. [...]
Oh yes, this is awesome. Reminds me of the old Nissan 300ZX toy commercial from the ’90s. The only thing better would be if a real SE-R could do half this stuff. FYI, this ad is from Nissan Canada. Eh. Below is the making of the video. Courtesy of our content partner: Subcompact Culture Related [...]
Nissan’s all-electric Leaf now has a price: $32,780. There are up to $7,500 in federal tax credits, which will bring the price down to as low as $25,280. Consumers can also lease the Leaf for $349 a month, not including state or local incentives, which could further reduce the net cost of the Nissan Leaf. [...]

Ever since Nissan’s 240Z, the “Z Cars” have been lust-worthy. And with the introduction of the 370Z, we knew it was worth gathering up the two prior generations and shooting an all-out comparison. So with a 370Z, a 350Z, and a Twin Turbo 300ZX we headed to some spectacular mountain roads to find which Z [...]
In a recent article, “The Misconception of the Car Club“, I discussed the public view of the automotive community. I mentioned that club gatherings start as a car meet, but eventually grow into family get-togethers. Well, this past weekend I had the fortune of attending Freakmont X, an annual Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti meet in California held by [...]
