You all know that how well Nissan skyline perform in the prostreet. After a couple of years bounce, Nissan skyline GTR slowly opens its order to the market.

Nissan GT-R’s a real success!

I’ve heard some idiots saying that the GT-R is an ugly car so i want to take a moment and give them a worm F*CK YOU!And then Nissan also wants to tell them that despite the „unappealing exterior” of this car all over Japan dealers are left with nothing to sell by the hundreds of people coming to get their hands on one of the hotest cars of 2007.Get this: initial orders have already exceeded expectations by a factor of 11, totalling at 2,282! Nissan wants to sell 200 GT-R’s a month but I think they should start building them faster.
The Nissan Skyline sales also started to rise and from 200 sales per month they’ve increased to about 2400.I can’t wait to see the GT-R on the circuit and then the Japanese manufacturer can worry about not making enough cars to satisfy the „hunger”.

The new Murano unveiled

The first Murano,initially meant for the American market,made a name for it self because of its interesting looks,without starting a revolution in car design.Nissan then brought it in Europe where it caught the eyes of relatively wealthy people.

A few days ago,just days from the official release,some pictures leaked on the internet and now  people can make an ideea about the car.The figure stayed almost the same but Nissan wanted  a more dynamic car and they got it mainly because of the cool head and rear lights.Still it seems that the new Murano lost some of its fluidity,the harmony created so beatifully with the first generation.I don’t know how to say this but this car doesn’t make you say WOOOW anymore.Know what I mean?Don’t get me wrong,some improvements have been made,like the more complex and in general luxurious dashboard.murano 2 dash

It’s expected that the new Murano will be powered by the same 3,5 litre V6(straight aut of the 350Z) but it remains to be seen if the japanese manufacturer will provide some additional engines.God we hope so!murano

Nissan Developing Color Changing Paint

nissan_change_paint.jpg

Whoa ! You won’t belive this : Nissan is developing a paramagnetic iron oxide paint polymer that allow people to change the color of their car with the flip of a switch, and if they manage to achieve their goal soon all soccer moms will be James Bonds. Using electrical charge, the arrangement of iron oxide crystals can be tweaked, adjusting the car’s color. (It just so happens that metal-bodied cars make for excellent conductive surfaces.) But we’re really excited over Nissan’s surely bogus but juicy claim to have the technology on the market extremely soon, by 2010 if possible. Oh…except there’s one catch : if you touch the car it will electrocute you. A small amount of current is always needed to maintain the arrangement of iron oxide (your custom car color). So when you leave your car parked/off, the car turns white. How cool is that?

2008 Nissan Rogue, the car of your dreams

The Toyota RAV4 established the compact crossover segment way back in 1996, but Nissan is only now fielding an entry, the Rogue. Although the name might suggest an aberrant or at least atypical approach, the Rogue rides comfortably in the wake of the RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.

2008 Nissan Rogue

Unlike the trucklike-and-proud-of-it Xterra, which had been Nissan’s sole effort to net shoppers of lower-priced SUVs, the Rogue takes a mainstream approach, with a car-based, unibody chassis, a four-cylinder engine, and front- or all-wheel drive. No V-6 is offered, lest the Rogue crowd its (slightly) bigger brother, the Nissan Murano, even more than it does already.

Like the Murano, the Rogue’s sole transmission is a CVT. Nissan embraces this technology more so than any other automaker, and the example in the Rogue is one of the best we’ve driven-you could almost forget it’s not a conventional gearbox. The Rogue’s electric power steering is also commendably conventional-feeling, with just-right efforts. Nissan has tuned its small crossover for responsive cornering, but the downside is a ride that delivers sharp kicks over bumps.

One can see the Murano family resemblance in the Rogue’s exterior design, but to our eyes the Murano is the handsome first-born and the Rogue is the somewhat dorky younger sibling. Both have an upswept beltline that limits rear quarter visibility and a rounded, sloping rear end that constricts cargo space. People-space, though, is adequate, and the driver faces a rounded dashboard that’s pleasantly sporty looking. The judicious use of padded surfaces and some nice graining on the dash and door panels offset the cheap plastic on the console. Overall, the interior is not a bad place to be.

The Rogue’s position in the market, though, is tougher. Nissan’s entry is an agreeable vehicle, but it’s a latecomer to this segment. Without any real standout quality, the Rogue has a hard time making a case for itself in the panoply of competitors. The Rogue goes on sale September 18, 2007, and the front-wheel drive S model will start at under $20,000.

2008 Nissan Altima Coupe, a gorgeous car

2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

The new 2007 Nissan Altima Coupe is the poor man’s G35, as long as the financially challenged don’t mind moving the coupe’s motivating wheels up front. Though given a shorter wheelbase and shorter overall length than 4-door Altima, the Coupe looks like a cross between its sedan sibling and rich cousin, the Infiniti G35. Ahead of the doors it’s all Altima, but aft of and including the C-pillar, it’s all G35. The broad and defined shoulders that flow over the rear fenders and into the trunk are just gorgeous if you ask us.

The Altima Coupe will be staring down the Honda Accord Coupe and Toyota Solara Coupe in the marketplace, as well as perhaps the Pontiac G6 Coupe and Chevy Monte Carlo. It will be armed with either a 170-hp, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine or the yummy 3.5-liter VQ V6 rated at 270 horsepower and 258 ft-lbs. of torque, both available with either an Xtronic CVT or 6-speed manual. The interior is standard Altima stuff, except for seats that are more deeply bolstered, and the backseat doesn’t look suitable for anyone other than Frodo and friends. Nissan hasn’t released any info on price, but the Altima Coupe will arrive in showrooms next summer as a 2008 model.

While planned and developed for, and built in the U.S., this front-drive coupe was styled in Japan in hopes of attracting young and young-thinking buyers who demand transport with more personality if less practicality than the family-oriented Altima four-door. Aside from its aluminum hood, the Coupe shares no body panels with the Sedan, instead culling numerous visual cues from the 350Z and Infiniti G37. Despite changes in several key dimensions and unique sheetmetal, it maintains-and marginally enhances-the outstanding structural qualities of the basic D-platform architecture that underpins all Altimas. Reinforcing its redrawn proportions and edgier lines, the Coupe also boasts a faster windshield rake, a 2.5-inch-lower roof height, and a more Z-like side-glass treatment. While overall width remains 70.7 inches, the wheelbase was trimmed from 109.3 to 105.3 inches, and the overhangs were shortened, dropping the car’s length from 189.8 to 182.5 inches.

Inside, the Coupe provides a more intimate space than the Sedan, with all key dimensions scaled down slightly. However, six-footers will still feel right at home up front, and you can stash a pair of average-size adult friends in the aft quarters-at least for short-distance runs. The belted-for-three 60/40 bench also folds flat, enhancing utility of its rather modest 7.4-cubic-foot trunk. To further play up its enthusiast orientation, the Coupe’s bucket seats are more deeply bolstered and a console-mount fly-off emergency brake replaces the normal foot pedal. Beyond those elements and slightly reworked door panels, the package mirrors the look and feel of an Altima four-door, from legible instrument cluster and finger-friendly levers and switch-gear to tri-binnacle center dash vents and metallic accent bits.
