2008 Nissan Rogue to Hit the Showroom Later this Month 2007-09-04 19:51:55 Nissan will be showing their new model later this month. It is the Nissan Rogue
, a small, car-based CUV designed for those that need a utility vehicle, slightly smaller than a Murano and a little manlier than a CR-V.
With the exclusively enhanced Nissan parts, the Rogue was designed to be a bit more masculine or at least more gender neutral. The appearance is clean and would make the car owner proud when seen with the vehicle. Inside is a lot of plastic and the dash’s design does show a bit of a Sentra/Versa influence. But the overall design is very clean and all the controls and switchgear both feel sturdy and are intuitive to use. The Rogue’s cavernous glovebox is big enough to hold a twelve pack of beer. The seats are nice and supportive, and there is a decent amount of headroom in both the front and back. Nissan, being smart, did not try to stuff a third row in to the Rogue, so the cargo room at the back seats is pretty good for the car.
The Rogue is somewhat the Nissan Se Read more:Month

’s new compact crossover, the 2008 Nissan Rogue
.
Its design clearly reflects that it intends to level with the likes of Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV. It’s the first ever small car-based crossover from the top 2 Japanese automaker.
During a press conference to introduce the 2008 Rogue, officials of Nissan said that its target buyers are men more than women, unlike the Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CRV which are owned by women more than men.
According to Mike Drongowski, Nissan regional product manager, the exterior of Nissan was designed to have more styling appeal than the boxes that is evident in this segment. “It has sports-oriented styling in a segment that’s traditionally more conservative in design,” he said. “It’s not a minivan, and it’s not a grocery-getter.”
That styling, along with the vehicle’s sporty handling characteristics, should help make it

NV200, Nissan Small Van Concept 2007-08-23 03:40:39 Nissan Motor Corp., Ltd. announced that during the Tokyo Motor Show in October, it will be unveiling its latest and highly innovative small van concept, which it calls the NV200. The concept turns the conventional light commercial design inside out.
This small van concept was jointly designed and developed by the Nissan Design Center in Japan and Nissan Design Europe (NDE), which is situated in Paddington, London. Both teams initially had no idea on hat form the concept van should take so they just designed a radical, futuristic, but a very practical new concept.
Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. said, “A light commercial vehicle has a specific job to perform, but that’s no reason to design a purely rational vehicle with no warmth. For NV200, function becomes the aesthetic. Our concept is a highly efficient tool but one with a human touch.”

The New Nissan Maxima 2007-08-22 03:49:54 Japanese automaker Nissan
has made it a point to take their Maxima
into a whole new level for this year’s edition, which is already the sixth generation for the Maxima. Its interior has been made more refined and a whole lot of features have been added to it, so that it could now be considered as one of the top large sedans in the automotive world.
Nissan Maxima is now much like Toyota’s Avalon, as it now offers a more comfortable spacious interior that’s present in the Avalon. But of course, it is still a little more different than the Avalon as there’s a few more strings attached to it. These strings are the sporty styling features and road handlings that can level up to that of other expensive sport coups.
Nissan’s flagship Maxima embodies a nearly-perfect combination of comfort, handling, and styling. This is because Maxima targets buyers who love driving, but would still want to have something of a practical family sedan. That’s where Niss

The 2008 Lexus LS600h L, one of Nissan’s new models, can even observe the face of the driver and then provide an audible alert about an upcoming obstacle in the road that the driver has not been aware of.
Nissan, which operates an assembly plant in Smyrna, is adding a Rogue and a first-ever coupe version of its popular Altima in 2008.

Nissan expects concept car will attract computer kids 2007-09-12 03:35:01 Nissan, one of the top Japanese car makers, has taken a futuristic all-electric mini car to the recently concluded Frankfurt Motor Show as it hopes that it will appeal to the future drivers. The Japanese car maker said that the Mixim, with a hatchback design, rakish styling, and gull-wing doors should attract gamers and other young people who spend more of their time on computers than thinking about cars. The Mixim is also a way to show that electric cars do not have to be boring.
The MIxim has an unusual setting as it has a 3+1 seating arrangement and so this svelte coupe puts the driver right up in the front of a cabin that’s fronted by a wrap-around windscreen, which aims to reflect the shape of a helmet visor. The dashboard and controls are also designed to be familiar to gamers.

Nissan’s slip-hazard warning system 2007-10-04 21:28:28 There are numerous Nissan
parts that promote safety, such as seat belts and air bags. Moreover, behind a safe operation of vehicles are well-functioning auto parts.
