While there were many headturning unveilings at last week’s Paris Motor Show — including breathlessly hyped supercars from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar and even Peugeot —Nissan’s TeRRA SUV concept snuck through the press coverage with making much noise. Combining the Japanese automaker’s success with urban-relevant SUVs (e.g. Pathfinder, Juke, Murano etc) […]

You may remember a few other car concepts where huge engines are stuffed into tiny cars (Nissan Juke-R, Volkswagen Golf GTI W12 650, Ford Fiesta SHOgun, Renault V6 Clio, etc), but Italian design firm Lazzarini perhaps took the idea one step too far with their Italian-on-Italian lovefest, aptly dubbed the 550 Italia. The vehicle, hypothetically, […]

Yesterday we brought you the Worldwide Premier Sneak Peak of the Infiniti LE Concept Luxury Electric Vehicle before its official premier, which happens today at 11:30 am EST. Yesterday was just a quick peek — Nissan and Infiniti Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura simply couldn’t resist the temptation to show off his latest gem, so while talking […]

We had the honor of being personally invited by Infiniti to be part of a year long panel titled the EV Insiders which will follow the development of Infiniti’s much anticipated first-to-the-market luxury EV, titled simply the “LE Concept” (ie “Luxury Electric”).

Nissan is squeezing in the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine plucked from the monstrous R35 GT-R into […]

The “Fix It Again Tony” acronym long cemented in the American psyche via a parade of flimsy, shop-prone […]

We’re all about innovative packaging, that’s why we’re loving RCRD Deal’s ingenious DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist’s The Hard Sell Juke Bot box set . The deluxe edition box set highlight’s the two premier DJ/producer/turntablists’ 2007 headlining concert at the Hollywood Bowl — the first time DJs sold out the 16,500 capacity venue. The Hard […]

Nissan invited Lost In a Supermarket up to Vancouver to testdrive their brand spanking new Juke, and this is the results… Oh how I ponder your star-crossed fate, Nissan Juke. While I stare at your curious “crocodile” headlights, mounted high on your raised fenders and separated by feet of steel from your grill, I wonder […]
