Test Drives, Trends & Events

Let’s get right to it!

No cruising down Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) comments with the sun basking in my face and my hair blowing in the wind. That would be the easy way to describe the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster. I think I have probably read that same story line before on just about every convertible to have ever hit the market. This one's going to be a little bit different. More...

The 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster

“Top down, chrome spinnin’…” or in this case, it would be the 19” lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance Bridgestone Potenza tires; 245 in the front and large 275s strapped to the back. The song continues that “you see the boss grinnin’…” and I am doing more than grinnin’. I am behind the wheel of the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster - smilin’ because this is one convertible sports car that gets it all just right. More...

Godzilla and STILLEN have invaded Canada… (photo courtesy of Kyle Millen)

Try to imagine race cars, new and old, roaring through your local suburban community. The glowing brakes and roaring engines a few feet away from you as the drivers wrestle their purpose-built machines down Main St. Now imagine piloting one of these rumbling rockets through side streets, past the local store fronts, and occasionally over someone’s lawn. You have just pictured the 7th Annual Targa Newfoundland.

This year marks the first year that Steve Millen, good friend to NADAguides.com, and his crew at STILLEN attempted to not only compete, but to win the event. The STILLEN folks teamed up with Mike Monticello from Road & Track who served as Co-Driver for the targa - their chariot of choice; a modified 2009 Nissan GT-R. How did they do? Well, either you skipped the headline or want me to say it again. More...

The 2010 Nissan GT-R

Exotic sports cars are the stuff that dreams are made of. As a younger man, I was in love with the Porsche 959. Some kids adorned their walls with shots of the Lamborghini Countach while others fell head over heels with the Ferrari F40. Today’s young car lovers may have pictures of the Porsche 911 Turbo, Lamborghini Murcielago, or Ferrari 430 on their walls. All amazing cars equipped with equally amazing price tags. Nissan has a car in its stable that offers near-supercar performance with a price tag under the six-figure mark. It is the 2010 Nissan GT-R… and it’s awesome. More...

2009 Nissan Maxima
NADAguides.com



The 2009 Nissan Maxima is a well-balanced, well-equipped and well, a great value for one of America’s favorite mid-size sedans. The Maxima won’t necessarily stand out in a crowd of cars, but that’s not the intention for the Maxima. The car was built to be driven - period. Not too hard and not too soft, this daily driver has enough room to comfortably seat four adults and enough horsepower to give it a slight air of sportiness. More...
