2011 Nissan Xterra Pro 4-X Review

February 22, 2011 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com reviews the 2011 Nissan Xterra. Find out what they had to say about this ride!

In the middle of winter in Northeast Ohio, seeing a 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X in your snowy driveway is a reason for excitement. The design of the Xterra is all SUV and it has as much attitude as any SUV on the road. Believe me when I tell you the snow filled streets of Ohio were no match for this 4×4.
Exterior

The exterior of the 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x gives off a rugged look that can’t be ignored. Bullz-Eye had the chance to review the all new PRO-4X off-road model which comes with a standard 4-wheel drive and, at least on our model, a five-speed automatic transmission. The lava red paint job fit this SUV well, adding a colorful spirit that matched the overall exterior design. The PRO-4X had fog lights, roof mounted off road lights, black/sandblast aluminum front fascia, roof rack rails and crossbars with an air dam. Also included on our model were rear side bumper steps, skid plates, front tow hook and so much more. As you can see from the feature list, this car is for the people who truly like to challenge themselves and their vehicles. The look of the Xterra hasn’t changed much in recent years, but why ruin a great design?

Nissan Sweetens the offer for Commercial Vans

January 14, 2011 / Staff

Time will tell whether Nissan North America’s entry into the commercial van market is a winner but you can’t say they aren’t trying! The NV body on frame vans just recently went on sale and the deals are already out to bring in the sales.

From the Autoblog.com:

“Instead of just dropping cash on the hood, Nissan is instead offering the choice of several no-cost options to help NV buyers convert their vehicles into a cargo-carrying juggernaut. Customers who purchase an NV can choose from a cargo management systems consisting of three 44-inch shelving units, a steel cabin/cargo partition, or an exterior standard roof utility rack or an interior rack for high roof models. NV buyers more interested in marketing than cargo enhancements can opt for a personalized graphics package from Original Wraps that spans up to 70 square feet. And if none of those options sound good, Nissan will cut $300 from the new van’s $24,590 starting price. Hit the jump to read over Nissan’s press release.”

Nissan & Sony Give Gamers the Chance to Go Pro in Real Life

December 22, 2010 / Staff

By the time I had watched thirty seconds of that video, I knew Nissan and Sony had done something epic. The two companies have paired up to offer the best Gran Turismo 5 drivers from around the nation a chance at becoming a real world, flesh-and-blood race car driver. Just look at those spinouts. I can’t wait.

Here’s a little clip from the press release:

GT Academy will challenge gamers and racing fans alike across the U.S. to compete in a series of online time trials in pre-selected Nissan vehicles in Gran Turismo 5. Throughout the course of the competition, participants will earn free digital content just for playing, as well as have an opportunity to win prizes for winning regional time trials. The top 32 virtual racers in the country will compete in the live national finals event scheduled for March 2011 to become one of 16 GT Academy finalists. The 16 finalists will compete against each other in a series of challenges, including behind the wheel of real Nissan race cars, for a chance to become a professional race car driver as the GT Academy winner for the U.S. The winner will have the opportunity to train with elite race car drivers at international tracks and race as part of a professional team.

It’s definitely an interesting concept. For more info, check out our post on the Bullz-Eye blog.

Nissan goes “personal” with new wraps!

December 20, 2010 / Staff

From Auto Guide.com:

Large panel vans are perhaps the ultimate form of mobile blank canvas – the acres of sheetmetal representing the perfect opportunity to install your own logo. Increasingly, companies are using vehicle wraps to market their product or service on their own vehicles and it’s proven to increase public awareness.

Now, Nissan North America is teaming up with Lakewood, Colorado based Original Wraps Inc. to offer specific wrap applications for customers of the new NV commercial van. Original Wraps has developed a software program that allows owners of Nissan’s new commercial van to create their own logos and designs on the Nissan Commercial Vehicle Website. Once the design has been finalized, it can then be printed on 3M Scotchprint Vinyl and shipped to the customer within 7-10 days ready for installation.

“We’re pleased to offer high quality, customized vehicle personalization with hundreds of different graphic designs created specially for the new Nissan NV,” remarked Joe Castelli, vice president, Nissan Commercial Vehicles and Fleet, NNA. “It’s part of our innovative approach to thinking about how our customers use their vans – including as a vehicle for advertising their company and services.”

The program is scheduled to start in January 2011.

2011 Nissan Maxima Car Review

December 1, 2010 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com recently reviewed the 2011 Nissan Maxima. Find out what they had to say about this new ride!

Most of you have seen the Nissan Maxima commercial where the guy’s wife announces that they’re having a baby and he transforms their 370Z into a Maxima. Once you get to the end of this review you’ll know how believable we found the commercial.

Exterior
The 2011 Maxima has a clean and refined look – a mixture of a sports and luxury sedan. The chrome finish around the windows and smoked HID Xenon Headlights give the 2011 Maxima 3.5 SV a distinctive look. The model we tested also sported fog lights, dual chrome exhaust with rolled edges, 19″ aluminum light hyper-silver wheels, a dark chrome grille, and a rear spoiler. Basically, this Maxima looked refined and cocky, a truly modern take on a model known for its practical, real-world driving experience. The front end invokes the design of Nissan’s high-end GTR sports car. That’s a good thing, friends.
