U.S. Sales Climb for Nissan

Coast Nissan 1_Rogue2016

Nissan has had a pretty strong end to a very strong year. As gas prices remain low, interest rates stay historically attainable, and consumer interest rises in sport-utility vehicles and crossovers, the Japanese automaker continues its track record of strong U.S. sales. In the month of December, Nissan’s U.S. sales climbed by 18.7%, over the same month in 2014. As consumers rally around sport-utility vehicles and crossovers, and while gasoline prices remain low, Nissan is seeing new interest in vehicles outside of its traditional core, sedans and compact cars. In fact, the company sold an all-time high of 1.48 million vehicles. The Rogue crossover was the lead in December and for the full year, with December sales rising 78% and 2015 sales rising 44.2%. The Rogue was the company’s second-best selling vehicle of the year. If you haven’t test-driven the Rogue yet, stop by Coast Nissan today in San Luis Obispo.

Spotted in California: the 2017 Nissan GT-R

Coast Nissan 2_GTRannivgold

The 2017 Nissan GT-R has been spied on California roads, undergoing testing. Though instantly recognizable underneath its camouflaging, the new model year receives some updates, including new taillights. GT-R program manager Hiroshi Tamura has said that he wants to improve upon the handling, ride quality and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels. While we don’t have many details (since the car was heavily camouflaged), this suggests that the new GT-R could be equipped with a retuned suspension, updated steering system and more sound deadening materials. Tamura has articulated that he plans to move the GT-R upmarket, as a “not just fancy, but real premium” offering. The car will retain the 3.8-liter biturbo V6 engine with 545 horsepower in the standard model and 600 hp in the NISMO edition. That said, we do not yet know if there will be any performance tweaks to the engine. Stay updated on the release details, or test drive the 2016 GT-R today at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo.
