The new Nissan commercial vehicles lineup comes in basically two models: standard roof, and high roof. Both models offer engines of 4.0 L V6 and 5.6 L V8. The V8 has 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft and the V6 has 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft. Since I drove mostly the standard roof 1500 S with a V6, I will focus primarily on that vehicle.

The standard model comes with a five-speed automatic transmission. The engine-speed-sensitive power-assisted steering amalgamates easily with heavy-duty fourwheel disc brakes resting on 17- inch steel wheels.
Standard power mirrors with convex spotter mirror and an easy see-through broad front windshield
makes front and back as well as peripheral views better, allowing the driver an additional comfort to the
driving experience.

In 2011 Nissan JUKE. Small, with a big bite, it lays claim to an all-new breed: the Turbocharged Sport Cross. The intentions are clear. Ride high, stand out, and move quickly. The turbocharged engine delivers serious boost when you need it and sips fuel when you don’t, while an innovative All-Wheel Drive system turns power into grip. Everything you thought a vehicle was just got turned on its head. JUKE. It’s a whole new way to move through the world. And you’re invited.

The 2011 Nissan Juke packs a few surprises. A small 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, but thanks to turbocharging and direct injection it cranks out 188 horsepower, more than the normally aspirated 2.5-liter engine in the Nissan Rogue. Connected to a manual transmission or an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), the four-cylinder turbo makes the Juke one of the quickest small cars around while still being pretty frugal with gas. 2011 Nissan Juke is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4 engine that sends 188 hp and 177 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. A CVT is standard on the S trim. The SV and SL offer a choice of either a six-speed manual or the CVT.

2011 Nissan JUKE

2011 Nissan Juke Engine Simultaneously, we've come to respect Nissan's take on the genre, as its XTronic family of CVTs tends to behave more like traditional torque-converter automatics (at least in later variations), with the included six driver-selectable 'speeds' furthering the illusion. As we've seen in the past with the Murano and Maxima, it's possible to deliver a sportier-than-average driving experience in a CVT-equipped vehicle, and that's exactly the case here. There's good power on tap at all times, and calling for 'shifts' via the manual gearlever detent results in swift action. Use of the CVT also enables front-wheel drive models to return 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 on the highway. While Nissan didn't offer any acceleration times, we suspect the Juke will hit 60 miles per hour in the low seven-second range.

2011 Nissan JUKE

The 2011 Nissan Juke interior with the same sporty and spunky spirit as its sheetmetal, as porting over the Versa's sober interior would've been a disappointment. On the contrary, the cabin is a lively place, beginning with the bulbous painted transmission tunnel that's available in either silver or red. Said to be inspired by the gas tank on a motorcycle, we just think it's cool and appreciate that the gearshift is located high and within easy reach. Also welcoming are the easy-to-read analog gauges, small-diameter three-spoke wheel swiped from the 370Z and surprisingly supportive cloth seats (leather is standard on the range-topping SL), though the gray fabric on our tester seemed like a dirt magnet.

2011 Nissan JUKE

The New 2011 Nissan Juke Designers embodied pure adrenaline, taking a cue from the flowing streamlined fuselage of sport bikes to craft the sleek appearance of the unique center console. Torque vectoring All-Wheel Drive agility and handling meets Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) turbocharged performance. The Integrated Control (I-CON) system provides the driver with a unique connection to their ride.

2011 Nissan Leaf Reviews Specs Prices and Pictures

The forthcoming 2011 Nissan Leaf hatchback will move the electric car much closer to the real world, and well beyond the few boutique electric vehicles available to consumers now. The Leaf will almost certainly be first in the next-generation of pure electric cars from a large volume, mainstream automobile manufacturer. It runs on batteries without a combustion engine to supplement its electric motor or generate electricity, and it's designed for typical drivers to use every day. The Nissan Leaf should be available to consumers in the United States before the end of 2010, according to Nissan.

2011 Nissan Leaf

Slightly larger than the familiar Nissan Versa subcompact, the zero-emissions Leaf is a peppy car with room for five and good cargo space. Its 100-mile range surpasses the daily needs of all but the furthest traveling commuters, and it's loaded with things intended to make ownership even easier. The secret to the Leaf, and perhaps the closest thing to a breakthrough, is hidden in its battery pack. Unless the widely touted Chevy Volt hybrid beats it to market, the Leaf will be the first volume-produced car with lithium-ion batteries. Now familiar in laptops, mobile phones and other small appliances, Li-ion batteries were long considered poorly suited for automotive applications. Nissan, though, has been developing them for the purpose jointly with NEC electronics since 1992.

2011 Nissan Leaf

The Leaf's battery is actually an array of laminated lithium-ion sheets manufactured from manganese. Each sheet is a 12-by-10 inch rectangle, about half an inch thick, stacked in metalencased modules weighing a total of 395 pounds. Nissan says the Li-ion batteries have twice the storage capacity of any batteries used in current automotive applications. They charge and operate at lower temperatures than lead-acid or ni-cad batteries, according to engineers, and after five years of daily drain cycles, they retain 80 percent of original capacity. The value of the Li-ion battery pack is simple enough: It gives the Leaf a range of 160 kilometers per plug-in charge, or a tick under 100 miles, in the typical urban driving cycle.

According to Department of Transportation data, 98 percent of all American drivers drive less than 100 miles per day. The compact Li-ion modules gave designers great flexibility in creating the Leaf. The batteries fit
in a purpose-designed electric vehicle frame, stacked between the wheels under the interior floor. The design adds rigidity to the Leaf as whole, and it keeps weight evenly distributed over all four wheels. Most importantly, the batteries take virtually no volume from the conventional cabin space.

2011 Nissan Leaf

Those batteries are packaged in a swoopy five-door reminiscent of the Versa, only prettier and more aero smooth. Leafs already shown by Nissan have been very close to production trim, with a smartly designed interior centered on a Scandinavian-looking stack of touch switches. The 2011 Nissan Leaf has slightly more interior volume than the Versa, with comfortable room for four adults. The trunk area dips deep behind the batteries, so there's plenty of room for gear even when the folding rear seat is occupied.

The 2011 Nissan Leaf is powered by a synchronous AC motor delivering about 107 horsepower (80 kW) and 206 pound-feet of torque through a single-gear transmission to the front wheels. We took a short drive in one of Nissan's test cars on a closed track, and were pleasantly surprised with the results. The Leaf responds immediately to movement on the power pedal, with stimulating, steady acceleration up to a top speed of about 90 miles per hour. It's smooth beyond compactcar expectations, and quiet, as one might guess.
The Nissan Leaf charges from a fully depleted state in 16 hours on standard 110-volt home current, according to Nissan engineers. With 220 current (like the typical electric dryer), it charges in eight hours. Nissan has also developed a DC quick charge station for fleet and public use that fills the batteries to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes.

2011 Nissan Leaf Dasboard

Every Nissan Leaf will be equipped with a navigation system and vehicle-specific information exchange software. With one button, the navigation map shows the radius of the Leaf's range according to the current charge level. The driver can enter a specific destination, and the system will calculate whether there's sufficient juice remaining to reach it. The map will also show known public charging stations, as it might show gas stations in a conventional car, as more public charging stations come on line. A Leaf owner can program charging time in his or her garage to take advantage of off-peak rates. The owner can also program the climate-control system to start operating while the Leaf is plugged in, saving the battery for travel. These and other operations, such as checking the state of the Leaf's charge, can be accomplished remotely with a cell phone.

Nissan is still a bit vague about its rollout plan for the Leaf, if it is indeed called the Leaf when it goes on sale in the United States. The company says the car should be available for fleet customers in the second half of 2010, with general retail sales in key markets like California shortly thereafter. Nissan's next generation of Li-ion batteries, which may double the car's range, according to the company, could be ready by 2012, when the Leaf should be available at dealerships nationwide. An educated guess puts the retail price between $24,000 and $30,000. The batteries alone currently cost $10,000 to manufacture, according to one Nissan engineer. At the retail level, the battery pack will likely be leased to the Leaf buyer, so its cost won't necessarily be reflected in the car's price.

2011 Nissan LEAF SV     $32,780
2011 Nissan LEAF SL     $33,720

There are some Armadas that are capable of using E85. It was the only Japanese vehicle sold in the U.S. other than the Nissan Titan that can use E85 until the introduction of the E85 capable Toyota UR engine powered Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia in 2009. The 2009 Armada has been updated with more standard features and options. In 2010, new changes were made for the 2011 model year Armada, with two trim levels, SE and Off-Road, dropped from the lineup. The base trim is now known as SV, the middle trim is now SL, and the range topping trim is still Platinum. Prices range from $37,910 for the 2WD SV to the $52,890 for the 4WD Platinum.

2011 Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada is Nissan's full-size SUV. It shares its body-on-frame F-Alpha platform with the
Nissan Titan pickup truck, Nissan Xterra SUV, Nissan Frontier pickup truck, and Nissan Pathfinder SUV. An upscale version of the Armada was sold as the Infiniti QX56 from 2004 to 2010, when it switched to a platform based on the Nissan Patrol. The rear door handles are installed on the "C" pillar as a Nissan design tradition started with the 1986 Nissan Pathfinder. When the four door Pathfinder was introduced, Nissan chose to conceal the door handles as a part of the "C" pillar trim to visually make it appear like a two door truck with a camper shell, with conventional door handles on the front doors.

2011 Nissan Altima Coupe and Sedan Review and Specs

The name Nissan Altima the First Car originally referred to a trim line of the Nissan Laurel mid-size car sold in Central America and the Caribbean before 1992. In 1993, Nissan discontinued its much-criticized Stanza, replacing it with the US-made Altima, while remaining a compact car. The very first Altima rolled off the assembly line on June 15, 1992, as a 1993 model. All Altimas had been built in Smyrna, Tennessee, until June 2004, when Nissan's Canton, Mississippi, plant began producing additional Altimas to meet high demand. The Nissan Altima is a mid-size automobile manufactured by Nissan, and is arguably a continuation of the Nissan Bluebird line, which began in 1957. It has historically been larger, more powerful, and more luxurious than the Nissan Sentra but less so than the Nissan Maxima. The Altima is available in North America as well as the Middle East. In other markets, Nissan sells a related mid-size sedan called the Nissan Teana, built on the same FF-L platform used by the 2002–2006 Nissan Altima.

2011 Nissan Altima

The third-generation Altima (chassis model L31) debuted for the 2002 model year. It was the first mass-market product built on Nissan's new FF-L platform, which was unique to North America and had no equivalent model in Japan. The Asian Nissan Teana is similar but not quite identical, slotting between the Altima and Maxima in size; all three model lines shared the same platform. The Altima grew enormously for this generation, as interior volume expanded to 118.8 cubic feet (3.36 m3). The Altima's interior dimensions even surpassed that of the higher-end 2000-03 Maxima, so the 2004 Maxima was moved more upscale into the full-size bracket.

2011 Nissan Altima

The 2011 Nissan Altima sedan and 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe Model returns in four-door sedan and two-door-coupe form. It remains the rascal of a popular triumvirate that includes the precision-tuned 2011 Honda Accord and the kinder, gentler 2011 Toyota Camry. Camry, Accord, and Altima in that order -- are the top sellers in the midsize-car class. The Altima Sedan received a number of significant refinements just last year – including a restyled hood, grille, front bumper and aluminum-alloy wheel designs. These changes added a greater visual volume to the front end, especially the hood. The changes also provide greater differentiation between the Altima Sedan and Altima Coupe.

The attraction is inevitable. Designed to be a true coupe from the ground up and quality-built to perform mile after mile. 270 horses delivered as only Nissan can. A new benchmark has been set by boldly offering what’s next. An intelligent CVT transmission and advanced technology to guide your every desire.

The Nissan 370Z has been redesigned from the previous model (350Z). It is powered by the VQ37VHR 3.7 L (230 cu in) DOHC V6 with Variable Valve and Lift Control and produces 332 bhp (248 kW; 337 PS). Power delivery to the rear wheels comes through a new 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters or 6-speed manual transmission which features the world's first synchronized down shift rev-matching system, SynchroRev Match. The SynchroRev Match system is only available with the sports package. The differential offered with the Sport Package is indicated to be a viscous limited slip differential.

Compared to the Nisan 350Z, the 2010 Nissan 370Z has a wheelbase 4 in (100 mm) shorter at 100.4 in (2,550 mm) and an overall length 2.7 in (69 mm) shorter at 167.1 in (4,240 mm). The overall width has been increased by 1.3 in (33 mm), the rear track by 2.2 in (56 mm), and overall height reduced by 0.3 in (7.6 mm). The smaller exterior dimensions and use of more lightweight materials help reduce weight. (Although it should be noted that a 2003-2005 base model 350Z is actually lighter in weight than the 370Z). The 370Z features a front aluminum subframe, aluminum-alloy engine cradle, aluminum door panels, an all-aluminum hood, and an aluminum hatch.

2010 Nissan 370Z

Front Nissan 370Z body torsion rigidity is improved by 10 percent with an extensively revised body structure which includes a new front suspension cradle to reduce front body lateral bending, new rear structural reinforcements, and an underbody "V-bar" to help reduce rear lateral bending. Additional enhancements include the use of a carbon fiber composite radiator housing and strengthening of the rear fender and hatch areas. Rear body torsion rigidity is improved by up to 22 percent and rear body vertical bending rigidity is improved by up to 30 percent. The new structure weighs slightly less than the 350Z.

2011 Nissan 370Z

Nissan 370Z Roadster

The convertible model was introduced for the 2010 year model. It features a soft-top roof, although automotive magazines originally said it would have a retractable hardtop. The touring model adds heated and cooling leather-appointed power net seats, a 6-CD Bose audio system with 8 speakers (with dual subwoofer) and MP3/WMA playback, XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, and aluminum-trimmed pedals.

Nisan 370Z Touring model also includes following options:

2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe

* Sport Package: adds 19-inch RAYS forged wheels with Bridgestone Potenza tires, Nissan Sport Brakes, SynchroRev Match (6-speed manual transmission only), and Viscous Limited Slip Differential.
    * Navigation Package: adds touch-screen Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with XM NavTraffic real-time traffic information, a 9.3GB Music Box hard drive for digital music storage and playback, and a USB port for iPod connectivity.

2010 Nissan 370Z 40th Spcial Limited Edition

This model is a limited version based on the 2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe Touring, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Datsun 240Z arriving in North America. It includes manual transmission, the Sport Package (including SynchroRev Match, front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, Nissan Sport Brakes, 19-inch Rays forged aluminum-alloy wheels and viscous limited-slip differential), special "40th Quartz" exterior color, red leather interior upholstery, a high-luster smoke wheel finish, red brake calipers, 40th Anniversary badges on the rear hatch and front strut tower brace, red door panel inserts, 40th Anniversary seatback and floormat embroidery, and red stitching on the center stack, shift boot and kneepads. It also has a leather steering wheel with red stitching, a plaque of authenticity, and commemorative premium satin car cover.

2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo

The 2010 Nissan 370Z Touring coupe adds leather and faux suede upholstery, power seat adjustments, heated seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a cargo cover, Bluetooth and an upgraded Bose sound system with six speakers, two subwoofers, an in-dash six-CD/MP3 changer and satellite radio. The track-ready 370Z Nismo comes with 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, high-performance tires, a limited-slip rear differential, stiffer suspension tuning, a more powerful V6, upgraded brakes, unique front and rear fascias, a larger rear wing and special Nismo interior trim details. The 370Z Nismo has a tuned version of the same V6 engine that develops 350 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque. The six-speed manual with SynchroRev Match is the only transmission offered.

The 2011 Nissan 370Z uses the same VQ37VHR powerplant found in the Infiniti G37 a V6 displacing 3.7-liter  delivering 332 horsepower and 26 mpg on the highway. Those 332 horses will be sent to the 370Z's rear wheels via either a seven-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox. Of note, the six-speed 370Z will be the first vehicle to offer a synchronized downshift rev matching system with a manual transmission. As expected, the Nisan 370Z will offer a serious performance upgrade over the model it replaced, the 2011 Nisan 350Z. The 2011 Nissan 370Z will ride on a shorter wheelbase than the previous car and uses more lightweight materials. Those changes net a lighter curb weight, meaning all around performance acceleration, braking and cornering will see a marked improvement.

2011 Nissan 370Z

The 20011 Nissan 370Z Price Starting at $30,610, the 370Z Coupe is about $1,700 more expensive than the 350Z it replaces. The base model comes with a 6-speed manual, while upgrading to a seven-speed automatic brings the total to $32,660. An optional Sport Package can be added to the base model, priced at just $3,020, has 19-inch RAYS forged wheels, Bridgestone Potenza tires, aerodynamic front and rear spoilers, larger Nissan Sport Brakes, SynchroRev Match, and a Viscous Limited Slip Differential. The self-explanatory Navigation Package, priced at $1,850, offers a hard drive-based navigation interface with a 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and iPod connectivity.
The 370Z isn't without flaws. The V6, while strong, lacks some refinement and feels labored at high revs. This might seem a petty complaint, but it substantially dulls the enjoyment of a spirited run on open roads. The coupe is also remarkably noisy, especially when fitted with the larger, optional wheels and tires. These are unfortunate flaws, as the rest of the 2011 Nissan 370Z package is stellar. It honors and advances the Z philosophy of outstanding performance at earthly cost. Even so, others are worth consideration, including the more refined BMW 1 Series, the capable Hyundai Genesis coupe, the related (and considerably more polished) Infiniti G37 or the trio of American pony/muscle cars.

2010--2011 Nissan 370Z Interior

The 20011 Nissan 370z All Body High-quality materials and solid construction are prominent throughout the 370Z's cabin. Touring models feel even more upscale, with leather upholstery and upgraded faux suede door inserts. The roadster's lined, fully automatic soft top drops down beneath a body-color tonneau cover in about 20 seconds.

The 2011 Nissan 350Z replaced the Skyline GT-R as the car for Nissan's factory and customer teams in the Super GT's GT 500 class. The cars used are heavily modified and feature a longer nose and tail (requiring the production of the Type-E homologation special), carbon fiber bodywork, and a tube chassis. In 2004, NISMO won the GT500 championship. Until the 2007 season, the car was powered by a VQ30DETT V6. In order to increase competitiveness, however, a new 4.5L V8 powerplant has been developed. The 2011 Nissan 350Z, with slightly more pedestrian modifications also competes in the GT300 class (having started there even before the Skyline GT-Rs were replaced) by teams such as Endless Sports and Mola. In 2003 Hasemi Sports won the GT300 championship with the Nisan 350Z. In 2008 season, the 2011 Nissan 350Z were all replaced by Nissan GT-Rs in the GT500 class, but they have continued to be used in the GT300 class as the GT-Rs overexceed the horsepower limits which make it impossible to participate. Thus, two 350Zs competed in the series and MOLA won the both Drivers' and Teams' championships in the GT300 class.

2011 Nissan 350Z

2011 NISSAN 350Z

The 2011 Nissan 350Z represented the fifth generation of "Z" sports cars from this Japanese manufacturer. At its debut in 2003, the 350Z represented a key component of Nissan's rebirth in the North American market. For much of the late '90s and early new millennium, Nissan's lineup was full of lackluster cars. The Z brought back the company's spirit of fun and performance that had been missing ever since the discontinuation of the previous 300ZX. The 2011 Nissan 350Z sports car bowed in 2003 as an all-new model and was produced until 2008 (coupe) and 2009 (roadster). The first year there was only a coupe, as the roadster did not debut until the following year. Initially, the coupe came in base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track versions, while the roadster was limited to Enthusiast and Touring trim levels. The Track trim came with lightweight wheels and Brembo brakes, but its suspension tuning was the same as all other coupes.

They have taken a few podium finishes with Unitech Racing who is also the other team to field a Z33, but effort was proved to be successful under the name of Geddings Racing scoring wins along with the other current Grand-Am entrant East Competition Promotorsport. The Grand-Am Cup car has also been used in the new FIA GT4 European Cup. Schuitemaker Motorsports with drivers Michiel Schuitemaker and BJ Zacharias won 3rd place in the '03 Grand-Am Cup season. The following year, they improved and finished in 2nd place. Schuitemaker Motorsports was sponsored by 350EVO, a manufacturer of performance 2011 NISSAN 350Z parts. After winning 3rd overall in the '03 season, Nissan had Wright Tuning build a new Nisan 350Z race car for the '04 season. This car differed from the '03 car in that it was completely stripped and seam welded.

2011-2012 NISSAN 350Z

2012 NISSAN 350Z

The cage was lighter and stiffer by using different diameter tubing where possible. The 2011 NISSAN 350Z car used a Menard's built engine with a Pectel engine management system. Overall racing weight was 2,450 lb (1,110 kg) which was the minimum allowable weight for its class. The '04 chassis proved to be the most successful chassis to run in Grand-Am to date. The '03 chassis was sold to a French team with Edouardo Atkatlan as the driver.
