I've always liked the Nissan Rogue, but when I drove the 2012 version in top-line trim, it seemed too pricey. For 2013, I ended up in the base AWD model, which made a lot more sense. Read my report in Sympatico Autos by clicking here.

The $96,820 Nissan GT-R has become the most acclaimed supercar in automotive history, putting many of its rivals that cost well over $100,000 to shame.
Check out our original post on the 2014 Nissan GT-R.
Now National Geographic is getting ready to take you behind the scenes of how the GT-R is built in Tochigi, Japan. The se…
Nissan’s fossil-fuel-free hatchback, the Leaf, will miss its sales target of 20,000 units in the U.S., CEO Carlos Ghosn has conceded. Well, duh. Aside from revealing that the sun will continue its streak of rising in the east, what could Mr. Ghosn say that’s any less surprising? The plan was to double last year’s annual sales of about 10,000 Leafs—but through the end of October, Nissan sold only 6791. Not only is that rather shy of 20,000, it’s a 16-percent decline from the f…
Nissan revealed several equipment changes and new price tags for the 2013 Cube hatchback, 2013 Armada SUV, and 2013 Versa sedan. The 2013 Nissan Cube is offered in just two trim levels, S and SL, as the previous Cube 1.8 base model has been eliminated. The funky hatchback also gets Nissan PureDrive badges, and Sapphire [...]
As it turns out, the world's first street-legal electric limousine based on the Nissan Leaf didn't hold its job at the Embassy suites hotel in Nashville, Tennesse, for long as we found the car listed for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $50,000 (equal to €39,400 or GBP 31,500) and a 'Buy it now price' of $57,000 (€44,900 or GBP 35,900). We first came to know of the existence of the Leaf stretch limo back in the summer from Nissan itself, which even released a video of the eight-pa…
It's the most popular passenger car segment in the U.S.A. with well over 1 million annual sales and four representatives in 2011's list of the 10 bestselling models overall, including the Toyota Camry that finished 3rd behind the Ford F-Series and Chevy Silverado trucks, followed by the Nissan Altima (4th overall), Ford Fusion (6th) and Honda Accord (9th). We are talking of course about the mid-size category, which is the subject of Car & Driver's (C&D) magazine latest comparison te…
Many comparisons have been made over the years between the Australian V8 Supercar series and NASCAR. From the standpoint of midsize-to-large sedan-bodied cars with large, loud V-8 engines, the analogy works. But whereas NASCAR racing is generally characterized by large oval tracks, V8 supercar racing is primarily done on road racing tracks that turn left [...]
My hat is off to Nissan for introducing the all-new Nissan Murano AWD CrossCabriolet that they introduced in 2011. It takes imagination and guts to offer such a radial vehicle like none other before in the hot-selling crossover SUV segment.
Chevy did it first with the hardtop convertible pickup truck, the SSR (Super Sport Roadster), back in 2006 but stopped production in 2006 after only 24,150 vehicles were sold. Not enough to keep the ‘bean-counters’ happy. I loved the truck with a folding h…
