Production of the 2013 Nissan Altima started up in Tennessee this week, which means it'll roll into Thoroughbred Nissan before long. What about the new model is different from the 2012 Altima? Well it will be very familiar, at least on the outside. But don't think for a second that Nissan didn't spend a lot of time and energy reworking the new Altima to make it more efficient, more fun, and all-around...

Nissan is preparing to change the face of racing with an historic entry in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race this summer. It's the Nissan DeltaWing, an experimental car that is half the size and weight of traditional Le Mans competitors (it's also twice as efficient, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here). Nonetheless, the team at Le Mans sent a special invitation to the team...

A few weeks ago, we told you a little bit about the impending rebirth of Datsun from Nissan. As the company readies itself to bring back a piece of their history, CEO and President, Carlos Ghosn, thought it only appropriate to return to the company's roots in Japan.  Instead of a press conference about the history and future of the brand, Ghosn took a public tour of the Zama Heritage Garage, an often-talked about...

It's been nearly 30 years since the last Datsun-badged vehicle was sold anywhere in the world. And, while we thought that we'd never see another Datsun hit the streets again, it appears that Nissan has a different plan in mind. Building upon the fuel-efficiency and economic value of the Datsun name, the Japanese automaker has decided to bring the vehicles back in emerging markets. That means, we probably won't ever see a...

There's no question that when it comes to fuel-efficiency, Nissan leads the way. As a matter of fact, they were one of the first automakers to release a car that doesn't use a single drop of gasoline - the Nissan LEAF. What's up next for the Japanese automaker? Well, they took to the Green Pavilion at the Geneva Motor Show in March to address that particular question.

Tucson drivers are pretty lucky. Well, first, lucky enough to live in Tucson. And second, lucky enough to live in one of the 29 select markets where the Nissan LEAF is available for a test drive. It's available all over the country, sure - but not everybody can just head over to their local dealership and take one for a spin.

Americans aren't the only ones experiencing this issue, either. Drivers all over the...

If you're in the market for a new pickup truck, you're searching for a dependable, hard-working vehicle that will withstand the elements for many miles to come. Not just the elements - your kids, your pets, your trips to the dump, your trek to and from work, and all of the many miles in between. Well, Thoroughbred Nissan has some good news for you: you can stop your search. You'll find all of...

What do you get when you put together the Nissan NV200 commercial van and the all-electric drivetrain of the LEAF? Well, you get the Nissan e-NV200 Concept, which impressed critics and other show-goers at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit earlier this month.

The NV200 is slated to become the next official taxi-cab of New York City, but the all-electric version offers a gas-free driving experience combined with the futuristic styling we...

If you have a smartphone with a touch screen, you know just how annoying it is when you get a scratch on it. It's even kind of annoying if the protective case you bought for it gets scratched, isn't it? As much as we hate to see our cell phones show the abuse we put them through, it's even more frustrating to see the cars we've invested our hard-earned money in...

Thoroughbred Nissan is proud to announce that Nissan is closing out the 2011 year with record numbers in sales, production and value. That's right, regardless of the type of vehicle, the Japanese automaker can boast that each model in their lineup saw a jump in sales at the end of this year.

This is thanks in large part to models like the Nissan Versa, which set its own sales record in November. Deliveries of...
