While the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder model has been a hugely popular member of the Nissan new model lineup available here at Lithia Nissan of Ames in Ames, IA for close to a decade now. But just because something is beloved, does not mean that there isn’t room for improvement. And as consumers clamor (rightfully so) for more and more efficiency within their new models, Nissan has made moves to make their flagship full size…
Now that we're well into November, it's been a couple weeks since we've thought about everything October threw our way. Don't get us wrong, Halloween's one of our favorite holidays here at Lithia Nissan of Ames, but it's not every day that your nation's government shuts down. Needless to say, it was tough times all around, but that didn't stop our fans from giving us a record month of sales.
Nissan recently surpassed a major milestone that just can't go unnoticed: it produced its ten-millionth new model at its Smyrna, Tennessee production facility, and it just so happened that the model was the very first Rogue to ever be assembled on American soil. Pretty cool, right?
In order for a YouTube video to go viral, it has to feature something special. Sometimes that's a cat with a special skill, other times it's a rare, death defying stunt caught on tape. Other times, though, it's just a video showing off a really cool car. That's the case with a YouTube clip of a special edition R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R with a unique paint job.
Some automakers release new models every year that aren't very different from their predecessors, but have a higher sticker price. Nissan isn't one of those companies.
One look at the new Nissan lineup us all it takes to see that the Japanese automaker draws inspiration from the world around us. For example, check out models like the all-electric LEAF which draws both its name and its powertrain from an eco-conscious mindset. Soon, though, more technology from the automaker will feature ideas and inspiration from the animal kingdom.
A lot has changed in the last 25 years. Back in the '80s, cell phones were enormous and computers were just something that hardcore nerds had to deal with. Today, your smartphone is integrated into your car, and your new Nissan is packed with computers that help it to drive as efficiently as possible, while also keeping you entertained.
Lately, Nissan has seen great both month-to-month and year-to-year sales growth sales numbers in the U.S. market (which obviously includes us here at Lithia Nissan of Ames). This past July was no exception, as the sales numbers for it are in, and overall, the Japanese brand saw a 10.9 percent increase over July of 2012's numbers.
You may have heard a few months back that Nissan was buying the Datsun brand and would be injecting life into the withered automaker, which was originally the Nissan company's flagship brand but was replaced by the Nissan name. After almost three decades of Datsun wilderness, Nissan recently revealed the new Datsun Go sedan in Delhi, India.
Let's face it. Most people these days can't go anywhere without their smartphones, laptops, etc. It's becoming more important every day to stay connected, and Japanese automaker Nissan is doing what it takes to stay ahead of its competitors by offering only the latest technologies.
