2009 Nissan GT-R

Nissan

Its hard to believe that Infiniti could put up such a good web presence while the parent, Nissan, is among the world's worst. The Nissan website is SOOOO bad. How can they build such neat cars and be so inept at a web site? Looks like they threw 5 million bucks at a bunch of intellectuals and didn't bother to see if the thing really worked. But the cars... ahhh very nice...

Nissan AWD Choices

2009 Nissan GT-R Motor Trend named the GT-R as the 2009 Car of the Year™. Said Angus MacKenzie, editor-in-chief of Motor Trend. "The Nissan GT-R rewrites the rule-book for high-performance vehicles."
A single technician in a climate controlled clean-room environment hand assembles the all-new 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 as well as the GR6 six-speed twin-clutch transmission, delivering 16mpg in the city and 21mpg on the highway, impressive for a car capable of a "cornea-melting" 0-60mph run of 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of over 190mph. GT-R prices start at $76,840.
2009 Murano

The new 2009 Nissan Murano S comes standard with the 265-hp, 3.5L 24-valve DOHC V-6 engine.The SL and SE versions focus on convenience and interior upgrades for its 5 passengers, rather than core mechanical system changes. The chassis has been stiffened for crisper response. The interior is now being referred to as the "suite". Jeeez, how pretentious can you get? Prices on the Murano S with AWD start at $29,280.
2008 Nissan Rogue The 2009 Nissan Rogue is basically unchanged save for the addition of some trinkets here and there. . Available in two models, S and SL, each has a standard 170hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine,the Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS) and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. A smaller version of Murano, the styling exercise could have done a better job on the nose profile. The primary KEY FEATURE is what Nissancalls their Intuitive All Wheel Drive System. It applies power to the rear wheels only when the vehicle isn't in straight line "cruise" mode. The base AWD Rogue is priced at $21,420.
