A truck is a special type of vehicle. These mechanical beasts of burden are designed to work; taking incredible amounts of abuse and asking for more. Recently however, trucks have become less work oriented and have grown soft. Even the most powerful trucks are available with leather and plush suspensions. The 2012 Nissan Frontier is [...]

2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition Review

In 2008 Nissan changed the world of supercars with its newest entry into the GT-R lineup, the R35.

Even though the American public may currently be obnoxiously in love with the SUV, there is still no denying the incredible and intelligent hauling capabilities of the minivan.  Born in the 1980s, the segment was created for the purposes of being a member of the family and since then, things have only gotten better.  Nissan may have [...]

2012 Nissan Titan Review

Until time stops, the American people will be utterly in love with the full size pickup truck.  For the most part, these big-bodied haulers have surpassed the actual car in U.S. sales and have been doing so since the 1980s.  Around that time, something happened to the truck that turned it from something of a [...]

2012 Nissan Juke Review

2012 Nissan Juke Review

In a moment, the rearview mirror was filled with a familiar German sight.  Bathed in Darth Vader black, wearing its European plate with pride and glaring menacingly ahead with its angle eyes was the opponent of the day.  As fast as it could, the modified Bavarian bomber verged into the left lane and began its rapid attack to scorch the warm concrete [...]

2011 Nissan Juke Review

2011 Nissan Juke Review

When most people put the words compact, agile, turbocharged and inexpensive together, the image of a budget sports car gets envisioned in their mind.  These adjectives have been stamped on such icons as the MazdaSpeed Miata, Subaru WRX, Dodge SRT4 and the Nissan Silvia.  Sadly, due to unforseen reasons, some icons have been put off to pasture thus leaving [...]

2011 Nissan LEAF Review

2011 Nissan LEAF Review

This is it.  For decades, the human race has known and subsequently fallen in love with the internal combustion engine.  These assortments of iron, aluminum and fire have powered the automobile and our souls for an entire century and for the most part, it is all we have ever known.  There is, as always, a catch.  [...]
