Mathews Nissan

Automakers across the board were affected by the natural disasters which took place in Japan this past march. Fortunately, Nissan officials are dedicated to getting their production facilities back in action as soon as possible. Due to the fact that so much energy is going into re-openings, however, the company has had to slow development of the next-generation Nissan Titan. It's alright though; Mathews Nissan thinks the upcoming model is certainly worth the wait.

Nissan has already checked off a win within the competition-heavy B-segment with the Nissan JUKE. Now, the automaker has partnered up with their performance hub to bring auto-lovers the Nissan JUKE Nismo concept. After its early-December debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, Mathews Nissan bundled up all the juicy model details and is more than willing to share.

Nobody would argue the fact that mustard-colored cabs are as much of a New York City staple as hot dog vendors and crowded streets. But just because the high-use of taxis isn't changing, doesn't mean the way in which those traffic-weaving vehicles operate has to stay the same. Beginning next spring, NYC will introduce six electric Nissan LEAF cabs into the mix, giving the taxicab industry a bit more eco-friendly cred.

There are many safety technologies out there dedicated to helping drivers adapt safer habits on the road. However, when it comes down to the final, critical moment before an accident, even the safest driver can't always think straight. Thankfully, Nissan has done the thinking for you. Since 2005, the automaker has included Brake Override Technology standard across their entire lineup.

We all know it. The impending sound of a siren wailing in our ear as we cruise down the Clarksville highway, nervously checking our speedometers and pumping the brakes. Imagine then glancing over your shoulder and seeing not just any old two-toned police car zooming toward you but a tricked out Nissan GT-R flashing its lights and emitting its raring warning. Slightly more intimidating we'd say.

Staying ahead of the game in a technologically dynamic industry is no easy feat. Yet Nissan seems to be operating with one foot constantly out the door and one eye perpetually peering into the future. The automaker's latest undertaking comes in the form of "Brain Machine Interface" (BMI) research, a technology that could one day enable vehicles like the Nissan Altima to read your mind.
