2011 Nissan GT-R: GT-R EGOIST & GT-R Club Track Editions added
Nissan has released details of the 2011 Nissan GT-R, which include more power and two new models – the GT-R EGOIST & GT-R Club Track edition. It may be that Nissan are following the Porsche 911 school of car updates by making endless changes to a car that ends up looking the same – the […]
Nissan LEAF to come with stand-by ‘Real’ car
It’s being reported that Nissan are planning on offering free petrol or diesel cars to all buyers of the electric Nissan LEAF to assuage ‘Range Anxiety’. Oh, dear. We did laugh.

Nissan Juke: The TV Advert

Nissan Juke: Big sales in Japan
The new Nissan Juke is exceeding sales targets in Japan by 300%, selling over 5,000 since 6th June. We got UK price and model details on the Nissan Juke just last month – Nissan’s new baby crossover – but the UK order book for the Juke hasn’t yet opened (although it will this month). But […]

Nissan has revealed that pre-orders of the Nissan LEAF EV are already at 19,000, almost twice the anticipated first year production. Nissan has an aim to build more electric cars than anyone else – and sooner. And that aim has had a big boost with news that there have already been 19,000 pre-orders for the […]
