Classic Cars Nissan

Nissan is banking some serious publicity and hope on its brand spankin’ new 2009 370Z Coupe. In fact, promotions got under way with Nissan “debuting” the vehicle in the Need for Speed video game franchise. The car has been put up on the video game screen before it has been put up in the showrooms, showing just who the target audience is for this speedster and just how Nissan is set to go about marketing the car.

Set to make its world debut at next month’s Los Angeles Auto Show, the all-new 370Z is the inevitable evolution of the 350Z, which was introduced in 2003. The new car is slated to go on sale in 2009 as a 2009 model and should turn plenty of heads with its sleek design and impeccable operation.

Under the hood, Nissan has installed its 3.7-litre VQ engine (found in the Infiniti G37), which produces 330 horsepower and 270 lb. ft of torque. Sound powerful enough for you?

And the interior has received an upgrade too, with a brand new slick design taken from some of the parts of the GT-R and a host of other supercars. Nissan’s goal here is to create the ultimate sleek, sexy ride. Early reports suggest that Nissan’s done that again and the 2009 370Z Coupe will knock ‘em dead.

For those interested in downsizing from a larger, clunkier model to something a bit more efficient, the 2009 Nissan Murano SL is probably a great place to start.

The Murano stands as Nissan’s rival to the Toyota Highlander, a crossover that carries an awful lot of buzz. The 2009 Murano has experienced a slight makeover from the last model year and has increased, ever so slightly, in size to help corner more of that crossover market.

The styling of the new Nissan Murano is pretty similar to previous models, although the size adjustment does make the vehicle appear more stretched out. Still, it is comfortable to park in most locations and fits in average garages without much of a hassle, making it an intelligent and sleek crossover that should please most drivers.

Along with the size improvements, the power of the Nissan Murano SL also went up for 2009. The 3.5 litre V6 is now good for 265 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, marking an improvement by about 20 horsepower over last year’s model. With the additional kick of power and size, those in the market for a bigger and more enticing ride will find what they’re looking for in the 2009 Nissan Murano SL.
