Just as the world is talking about the launch of Nissan’s electric Leaf, and weighing the benefits of zero emission against the use of fossil fuel for engines, Infiniti has finally let another cat out of the bag. At a recent event, Senior VP of Infiniti Andy Palmer unveiled the first sketches of Infiniti’s new EV 2013.
From what can be seen, the car looks sleek and has a stylish design. Going by what the company promises, the style is also supported by some good performance, which we hope will hold true considering many electric vehicles have, thus far, not been able to quite get there.
The EV, which is all set to storm the market in 2013 has a capacity for five, though the sketch has been shown to give it a very spacious look. This is a deliberate move by Nissan which is looking to invest heavily in the electric vehicle market, which they believe is really where the future of automobiles is.
Given the kind of forecasts we are seeing in this segment, this does seem like a clever move by the company. However, with the Leaf still to make its mark on the roads and the feedback not yet ringing in, it is a little early, and risky to say that these cars are here to stay. To be able to change the dynamics of this market, not only will the performance be critical, but the pricing is also extremely crucial. If Infiniti can sway the market this time around is yet to be seen.

Nissan Set to Modernise Cars All Over Again
Nissan is ready to walk the road less taken and set new trends for the automobile industry. In an industry which they believe has not made any significant improvement save for rudimentary changes to the design and also the performance capacities, there are so significant improvements or breakthroughs which have been made.
The industry, according to Nissan is in need of change. At a time when oil prices are constantly on the rise, where the supply of fossil fuels is dwindling by the day, and at a stage where pollution is plaguing everyone over the world, the need for drastic measures has arrived. And Nissan brings to the market a saviour in the form of the electric car.
Although the electric car has been viewed with lots of scepticism, there is plenty that it has going for it as well. For one, cars that are ready to be launched, and those whose plans have been revealed make no compromise on style and space. Their performance has also promised to pack in plenty.
The greatest thing about electric cars apart from the zero emission, is the fact that they can also be produced in large quantities and are today worked out to be more economical and affordable to everyone. If figures and forecasts are anything to go by, the electric car is ready to take up at least one tenth of car sales in the next decade.
The promise of the electric car is growing, and if its market share follows suit, we are ready for the new revolution in automobiles.

The Reliability of Used Nissan parts
Buying a Nissan vehicle may actually be more viable than running it. Most Nissan vehicles are a pleasure to own and drive, but in the event that something goes wrong with the car, you must ensure that repairs are carried out carefully.
It is inevitable that you will need to have some parts of your Nissan vehicle replaced during its life. When such a situation does arise, it is best to try and use a Nissan spare rather than any other brand. The idea behind using a Nissan spare is that it will get absorbed into the system of the car better and faster, and is less likely to give you any trouble in the future.
Buying a genuine spare can sometimes prove to be an expensive affair, especially if you are looking for some major parts replaced. In such a case, the next best solution is to try and go for reliable parts of a used Nissan car. In this case, your spare may not be completely new, but it will be an original Nissan part which is in good working condition. The parts of most Nissan vehicles are sturdy and can last you long, so even used Nissan cars may actually throw up some interesting spares which find good use.
The great thing about Nissan spares is that they cost a significantly smaller amount than an original new part. Additionally, they meet with all the quality standards that have been set, and can be a reasonable replacement without causing you any trouble for a long time. They will fit into your car well and give you ease and assure you better working condition of the car instantly.

The Quest for Perfection: Nissan Quest 2011
There are many Nissan cars that have changed the way the market looks at luxury. However, none of the minivans that Nissan has brought out have managed to make heads really turn. The Nissan Quest 2011 brings a lot of promise, with several new features that appear impressive.
The car looks good at first glance. The front is sleek and exudes class. The back is contrastingly squarish, and is sure to bring a mixed bag of responses. Although it is too early to certify its looks, the interiors of the car seem appealing. Most conveniences are available, and it is fairly roomy.
The car only provides captain seats in the second row. There has been no provision for an extended three seater here, although the third row has three seats which have the regular folding facility. There is plenty of space for comfortable seating and lots of leg room which does not cramp the knees.
The seats respond well and collapse at the touch of a button. The third row flops forward, which is an interesting concept in this segment. This gives plenty of added storage apart from the concealed well behind the third row, covered by mats which mask the hole.
There are several things that go for and against this car. The mixed responses are sure to be outweighed by the marked improvement that this minivan has undergone. It looks like the long break the Quest has taken has been well worth it.

The Voluptuous New Nissan X-Trail for 2011!
The recently launched 2011 Nissan X-Trail has improvised its looks to go with the current SUV trend and just got more voluptuous with a nice rounded finish. The front grille, bumper, and the headlights of the car have all be redesigned to give a facelift to the existing X-Trail SUV and attract more customers. Not only the exteriors but the interiors have been revamped too.
The Nissan X-trail SUV for 2011 comes with glove compartment complete with a refrigerator and heat retention functions to keep your drinks cool or hot according to the season, a vehicle information display system, and large-sized meters that make it easy for the drivers to read the markings. The new X-Trail 20GT model comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission (that can be switched to manual transmission) and a brand new M9R Clean Diesel Engine with 2-litre capacity. The M9R Engine is environmental friendly and the Nissan X-Trail is the first car model in the world to incorporate this engine in its design.
If you live in a hill resort or frequently explore the mountainous regions during your beloved long drives, you will certainly love the X-trail 4WD models that introduce the Advanced Hill Descent Control system. This system allows you to set your driving speed according to how steep the slope is, within a range of 4 km/h to 15 km/h and make sure that your drive is totally safe.
The Nissan X-trail has held the top position in annual SUV sales in Japan for three consecutive years because of its functional interiors, spacious luggage area, water-repellent seats, driving stability and off-road capabilities.
