Review: Nissan Murano

January 3, 2010

The Murano landed at The Garage on December 23rd. With Christmas nearly upon us, and I with some final holiday chores to run before I would be able to settle in and enjoy the festivities, I hopped into the Murano and set forth into the wintry mayhem.

Review: Nissan cube Krom

October 28, 2009

Us North Americans tend to suffer rather short memories when it comes to cars, and I was reminded of this during my time with the Nissan cube. The cube is, well, different. I remember growing up in the 1970’s, spotting tiny Datsuns, Hondas and Subarus, and these cars looked like they landed from another planet. [...]

Happy 40th, Nissan Z!

October 15, 2009

I confess-here at The Garage, Gary and I haven’t been exactly shy about our admiration of the Nissan Z, especially in its current 370Z and more potent NISMO Z iterations.

First Drive: 2010 Nismo Z

September 24, 2009

If the typical Z Coupe buyer is a 30 something guy & the typical Z Roadster buyer is a 40 something guy, then who is the typical NismoZ buyer? A 40 something who thinks he’s a 20 something? All I know is that whatever the demographic is, I want to be part of it!

2009 Nissan Armada: Road Trip Warrior

September 23, 2009

I remember when the first Armada showed up at the dealership I worked at back in 2004. It was called the Pathfinder Armada and the long time Nissan dealer employees weren’t quite sure what to think about it. Wasn’t the Pathfinder big enough? As anyone who has 3 or more kids will tell you, no, [...]

First drive: 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster

September 4, 2009

Nissan’s market research folks say the 370Z coupe’s average buyer is a 32 year old male, while the typical buyer for a Roadster is an older guy. The photo shows a balding, grey haired old dude. He’s 43! Hey, that’s me! The guy in the photo is more like 53. What does this have to [...]

2009 Nissan 370Z

August 30, 2009

I’ve already gushed about how impressive the 370Z is visually, so the question is: Does the drive live up to the aggressive lines? The answer is absolutely, positively yes.
Inside, the 370Z is unmistakably a Z car, having carried over several styling cues from the original cars and the 350Z. While many complained the 350Z was [...]
