A lot of really cool stuff happened at the Paris Motor Show. The Lamborghini Asterion, the Jaguar XE, the Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta, all had a little somethin’-somethin’ to show off. Despite the beauty of these and other new models and concepts on display in Paris, the vehicle that stole our hearts was a sporty little […]
Brace Yourselves: The Nissan Pulsar NISMO is Coming (Probably)
Back in May when Nissan announced the Pulsar for Europe, we mused that they might be well served to create a NISMO model that plugs in a turbocharged four-cylinder that cranks out 200-or-more horsepower (adding, of course, that they should seriously consider bringing such a little badass to the States). According to CarAdvice, Nissan’s VP […]
The Nissan Pulsar Could Make a Killing in the States
Nissan is throwing their hat into the hatchback ring in Europe with the introduction of the all new Nissan Pulsar five-door. If the Pulsar is part of a master scheme to upstage Ford, Mazda, and Honda by putting out a handsome hatch to steal attention away from their products, then we’d have to say the […]
Nissan Adds 190HP 1.6-Liter DIG-T to Pulsar
Nissan is looking to jazz up its Pulsar lineup with the addition of the 1.6-liter DIG-T turbo four engine, which will bring its 190 horsepower to Nissan’s C-segment hatch in Spring 2015. The new 1.6-liter DIG-T is a part of Nissan’s effort to make the Pulsar more exciting for younger consumers—a point further extrapolated by […]
History of the Nissan Sentra
The Nissan Sentra was first introduced in 1982 and has gone by many names over the years in various locations, including the Sunny, Tsuru, Sylphy, and Pulsar. It was originally introduced as a subcompact option but has since grown to its current categorization of “compact car” (since 2000). Good News: Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 is […]
Mitsubishi-Nissan Alliance Could Lead to a New Lancer
In a column for Automotive News, Mitsubishi’s soon-to-be new chairman Carlos Ghosn had a lot to say about “identifying synergies” between Nissan and Mitsubishi, as well as “targeting synergy benefits,” “unleash[ing] potential synergies,” and really a whole lot of things dealing with synergy. Even though it may sound like meaningless business-speak, it makes sense coming from […]
Nissan Unmasks Its Personal Stig
In the world of Top Gear, one of the most closely guarded secrets is the identity of the Stig, the franchise’s personal tame racing driver. The Stig has several international cousins, and routinely tests drives the most amazing cars in the world (as well as some truly terrible vehicles). To celebrate the upcoming premiere of […]
Nissan Sets Sales Record in Europe
2015 was a good year for Nissan in Europe. The automaker rolled out three big reveals, and continued to build vehicles in its Barcelona and Sunderland plant. This week, Nissan announced that the goodwill it built up paid off, with 2015 being its best-ever European sales year. According to Nissan, 715,623 vehicles were sold in Europe […]
Nissan Plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico Completes 200,000th Vehicle

The plant opened just 16 months ago and assembles a Sentra every 55 seconds. Once completed, these vehicles make their way to the United States, […]
New Nissan NISMO Model to be Revealed at Chicago Auto Show
Nissan has established NISMO as a respected performance label for its sports cars, and now we’re getting performance versions of even more Nissan models. We’ve already seen the GT-R get the NISMO treatment as well as the 370Z, Juke, Pulsar, and even the Sentra. Rumor has it that Nissan is revealing yet another NISMO model […]
Dear Mitsubishi: Replace the Lancer with the Pulsar
Last week, Nissan and Mitsubishi announced that they would be joining forces again to supply the latter brand with two new sedans over the course of the next few years. Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko revealed in a subsequent interview that the midsize sedan part of the equation would be a vehicle based on the Renault […]
What Will Nissan Bring to Its NISMO Lounge at SEMA?
Nissan hasn’t announced any plans to unveil new concepts of any sort at the 2014 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, but it has announced that it will be there with bells on.

Renault-Nissan Alliance May Team with Mitsubishi for Ford Focus Rival
It was announced back in September that Mitsubishi and Fiat had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on a midsize pickup truck for the European market. Reports out of the United Kingdom suggest that Mitsubishi and the Renault-Nissan Alliance could be working with one another in the future on a new platform that […]
The Nissan Note NISMO Looks Like a Fun Little Hot Hatch
Back when Nissan announced the Pulsar for Europe, we mentioned the idea of bringing the hatchback stateside, putting a turbo four in it, giving it a NISMO badge, and letting all of the money roll in. It’s not the Pulsar, but the Note NISMO, which will be available in Japan latter this fall, would fill […]
Nissan Launches Datsun GO in South Africa
Datsun continued its comeback tour earlier this month with a much-anticipated launch in South Africa. In a move aimed at capturing the growing middle class market in the country, sales of the Datsun GO in South Africa will begin near year’s end at a price that should make the dream of car ownership a reality […]
The Nissan INVITATION is the Hot Hatch We Deserve
It's also the hot hatch we need right now. So give it over, Nissan. Don't be a buncha jerks.
A week ago, Nissan revealed that they would be launching the Nissan Pulsar hatchback in Europe in order to get in on some of that sweet, sweet C-segment money. We posited that Nissan would probably make a killing among Gen Y drivers if they imported the Pulsar to the United States and offered a turbo […]
Nissan Versa History
Introduction The Nissan Versa is a North American-branded compact car that is known by several other names depending on what market you are in, including the Pulsar, the Tiida, the Sentra, and the Sunny. In the United States, the Versa was first introduced in 2006, and it is among the most affordable vehicles on the […]
Lancer Replacement Will Be Based on a Renault Sedan
It’s no great secret that sales of the Lancer haven’t been quite what Mitsubishi thinks it’s capable, even in spite of October sales in the US that were 17.5% better than they were the year prior. As such, it’s entirely possible that the namebadge will be going the way of its EVO offshoot and dying […]
