2013 Nissan Altima

source

The Nissan Altima is currently the second-best-selling car in the United States, behind the first place Toyota Camry. In attempt to surpass Toyota, Nissan has developed a new and improved 2013 Altima model that is aimed to gain the first place position. 

The 2013 Altima has vast similarities to the 2012 model, for instance— updates to the base four-cylinder that add seven horsepower and, along with changes to the CVT (continuously variable-ratio automatic transmission), increase fuel mileage. 

About 70 percent of the continuously variable-ratio automatic transmission’s parts are new and friction is cut, accounting for 40 percent of the mileage boost, Nissan says. The 2013 Altima gets, 27 mpg in the city, 38 highway and 31 combined, up from 23/32/27. 

The 2013 Altima goes on sale later this summer, June 26 to be exact. So don’t for get to visit us here a Greenville Nissan to see what all the Altima hype is about!

How Do You Decorate Your Ride?

It's no recent trend for drivers to use their cars as personal statements to show their support, opinions and at times, their political views. While other drivers elect to use decorative stickers and decals to customize their ride. It only seems fit that just like billboards on the side of the road, drivers can use their cars to advertise their personal opinions as portable billboards. But then I must play devils advocate and ask to what extent do our portable billboards become a dangerous distraction to other drivers on the road?

Feel free to comment below and give us some feed back on how you Decorate Your Ride?

The Taxi of Tomorrow

New York is "hailing" a new era of urban mobility today, as the city with the nation's largest taxi fleet has selected Nissan to design and supply the next-generation "Taxi of Tomorrow." For 2014, New York’s iconic yellow cab is getting a decidedly futuristic update. It’s the Nissan NV200, and with room for four, a low-annoyance horn and sliding safety doors, it’s set to change not only the face of the taxi, but of the Big Apple itself.

The city's Taxi of Tomorrow is the Nissan NV 200-and it's going to be the safest, most comfortable and most convenient cab the city has ever had," said Mayor Bloomberg."We started this process to leverage our taxi industry's purchasing power to get the highest quality taxi,one that that can expand and redefine the legendary image of New York City taxicabs. The new taxis will be custom-designed to meet the specific demands of carrying 600,000 passengers a day in New York City traffic and the vehicle meets the top priorities identified by the public in our on-line survey."

"Nissan is proud to provide the next generation of taxis for the City of New York," said Nissan Americas Chairman Carlos Tavares.

Racing’s Silent Future

You’re looking at the future of automobile racing. It doesn’t have an engine, uses no gas, and instead of roaring around the track, glides almost silently by. It’s the world’s first 100% electric, no tailpipe, track-ready race car – the NISMO RC. 

The NISMO RC has no trunk, no rear doors or seats, carpets, navi or any other conventional amenities. To lighten it, the 3-piece body is manufactured from carbon-fiber. The silhouette is low and wide, and the massive tail is designed to create significant downforce, keeping the car stable and glued to the track.

So, will it change today’s racing game? Maybe not, but it will change how the game is played. Electric racing classes are already springing up, most recently at the Pike’s Peak hillclimb where Chad Hord raced his Nissan LEAF to victory. In other words, it’s just a matter of time before “the new car” becomes “the new race car."
