Whether a person knows cars in and out or could be tricked into trying to buy blinker fluid, when most of us think of sports cars, we think of sleek, fast and refined. Nissan’s design boss, instead, insists the company’s next six-figure GT-R supercar be “the world’s fastest brick. Less wing, more brick.”
The updated Nissan Leaf EV features a revamped, kind of boring look and an interesting emphasis on the electric car driving experience. But the forthcoming long-range trim—dubbed the Leaf E-Plus—should make it a tad more exciting, with a new report saying it’ll have a total output of 200 horsepower, making it a solid…
A woman in Cornwall, Ontario accidentally drove away in someone’s Infiniti after mistaking it for her Nissan rental car, the local police posted on Facebook. After two weeks, she returned what she though was her rental car, and complained about how “unkept” it was before realizing her mistake. Here’s how the Canadian…
The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign that we saw last month was, in a word, polarizing. I thought it looked great. Most of you disagreed. Well, if I had over a million bucks, I’d buy one just to spite all of you.

I suspect many of you saw the word “Sentra” and immediately exciting images of the under-appreciated classic Sentra SE-R popped into your head, or perhaps some of the charmingly practical ‘80s-era Sentras. If that’s you, you’re likely hurt and confused. Those Sentras weren’t meh!, you likely shouted, making everyone…
I’ve got umbrellas on the brain ever since I found out that the 2019 Aston Martin DB11 Volante can be optioned with one. The trouble is, only the hyper-exclusive cars seem to come with them. What’s up with that?

You’ll remember Italdesign as the company responsible for that batshit, carbon-bodied Lamborghini Huracán with the strange wheels. Now, it’s teamed up with Nissan to create the most lunatic GT-R I’ve ever seen, called the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign. Also it has 720 horsepower, so.
For years, Nissan Rogues across America have taunted me with what—from a distance—looks like a heat exchanger under their rear fascias. “What could this mystery heat-exchanger be?” I’ve spent many sleepless nights agonizing. Well, after finally looking at a Rogue up close, and talking with Nissan, I have the answer.
When we talk about Karma, it’s usually… not in a good way. But sometimes, it pays off to be a decent person, and J’Mmar Coleman found that out firsthand.
Nissan’s had this Star Wars tie-in deal for years now, and there’s no evidence it makes any real sense at all, or sells cars. Well, I think Nissan finally figured out what it’s good for: making their semi-autonomous system look useless and stupid. Great job, team!

It’s been said before, but should be repeated often and loudly, that there needs to be more motorsport involving small, underpowered cars with little to no aerodynamic aids. Canada’s Nissan Micra Cup series fits the bill to a T. These cars are essentially showroom stock buzz boxes with just over 100 horsepower and…
By now, we know that there are more accurate ways to pronounce the names of Japanese automakers than the ones that we dumb Americans have been using. Mazda, for instance, is pronounced “Matsuda” in Japan. But did you know that there are also very fascinating historical and cultural reasons behind some of these names?

Minimalism has become, somewhat ironically, a status symbol unto itself. How many painfully self-satisfied articles have you read about rich people “decluttering” and instead just having a few crazy expensive things carefully placed in a stark white loft? Too many, probably. That just shows how far ahead of its time…
