The Nissan Murano is known to be the best vehicle Nissan has made in years. The five-passenger crossover, starting at $30,445, is targeted mostly to empty-nesters looking for a luxury hauler. Families with a tangle of kids and sippy cups will be better served by Nissan’s larger SUV, the Pathfinder. Overall the 2015 edition has a more aggressive and edgier appearance. Nissan cut out the clutter by severely reducing the number of buttons on the dashboard – wood and metal trim add a premium feel. Under the hood, the Murano features a 260-horsepower V6 that is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Nissan has been using the CVT in its vehicles longer than most automakers, but it also had more trouble building one that feels like a conventional automatic transmission.

Nissan is experimenting with self-cleaning car paint now has a new gimmick: the glow-in-the-dark car. Nissan’s European operation says it’s one of the first automakers to have glow-in-the-dark paint. The electric Nissan LEAF featuring the new paint job luminously glows blue after nightfall. Scott created a product called Starpath, a coating that absorbs the sun’s rays during the day and  then glows from 8 to 10 hours after the sun goes down. The glowing paint goes perfectly with the LEAF model that is known as Nissan’s eco-car with low charging costs. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Super GT champion driver Tsugio Matsuda was officially announced as one of the GT-R LM NISMO drivers at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Matsuda was born in Kuwana, a town close the Suzuka Circuit and has had a passion for race car driving since a young age. He recalls often going to the track to watch the race events or even driving go carts around it. In an interview with Nissan, Matsuda reveals that he has always had a love for vehicles; as a child he collected car figurines and always hoped to find a job related to automobiles. In fact, he credits his career to the very first race he saw; stating that it was at that moment he realized he wanted to become a race car driver. When he reached middle school, Matsuda convinced his parents to let him start carting and only a few years later he joined the Suzuka Racing School Formula as a scholarship student. It was from then that his career took off and progressed to Formula 3 racing and above. “It’s been a dream of mine to race at Le Mans, and if I’m competing, then I aim to win. Moreover, I will do my best to ensure a great performance for all the fans following us. I am really excited to drive Nissan GT-R LM NISMO,” he said.

Nissan recently announced its improved financial results for the first nine months to December of last year. The Japanese automaker revealed that its operating profit rose to 417.9 billion yen in those nine months, representing a 5.2% margin on net revenues that climbed 11.1% to 8.09 trillion. Carlos Ghosn, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Nissan delivered solid financial results in the first nine months of the fiscal year, reflecting rising U.S. sales of our latest models and a normalizing yen-dollar exchange rate. We anticipate good full-year results as our product offensive and positive momentum in North America and Western Europe offsets volatility in other markets. Given these trends, along with the continuing impact of currency movements and cost controls, we are today revising upward our full-year financial forecast.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan recently launched a unique marketing campaign as part of the company’s run-up to advertising in Super Bowl XLIX, the first time the automaker has advertised during the Super Bowl in nearly two years. The automaker has decided to do things slightly different and not tease the actual game day spot prior to airing it during the Super Bowl – instead Nissan plans to release a teaser that aligns with the overarching theme of their campaign, which celebrates the journey that only dads – but also moms and children face in trying to make family a priority while striving to balance work. “After nearly a two-decade absence from the Super Bowl as an advertiser, we want to maintain the excitement and anticipation of game day. With so many commercials airing before the big game, I fundamentally believe it takes away much of the magic of showing the commercial on the biggest stage of the year.  Prior to the Super Bowl, we do however want to build suspense around our story, while provoking a social conversation around the overarching theme. Our highly creative YouTube content creators help us do just that as we get ready to share our spot with America on Super Bowl Sunday,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations U.S., Nissan North America, Inc.
