The 2013 Nissan lineup is almost growing faster than we can keep up. A couple of weeks ago we told you about the new JUKE, and this week, we want to tell you some more about the soon-to-arrive 2013 LEAF. Among other things, Nissan is reporting that the new LEAF will boast a range extension of as much as 25 percent.

The LEAF has made quite the name for itself thanks to its futuristic styling...

There's no doubt about it: the Nissan JUKE isn't easily ignored. The small crossover sports large wheel arches and a high waistline, sports coupe design language, and a unique arrangement of lights in the front and rear.  If you've seen one lately, you're probably thinking there's not much Nissan could do to make it even more eye-catching.

But then, that's where...

There's probably nothing that will make you feel like a VIP faster than a ride in a limousine. Except maybe if it was a ride in a very quiet, tailpipe-free Nissan LEAF limo. And thanks to LimoLand in Missouri, guests at Embassy Suites Nashville South are now able to do just that.

We know, the LEAF is traditionally considered a compact vehicle. It's also electric, so the idea that is can carry much...

The all-new Nissan 370Z is waiting for you to take it for a spin here at Connell Nissan. And this year, it's sporting a new fascia, LED daytime running lights, updated 18-inch wheels, and a whole slew of new color options. Check out the pricing and variants below and then contact us via our website to arrange a test drive. And hey...

Big things are happening this year for the Nissan LEAF. First, it was released nationwide - the first EV to be made available in every state in the country. Then, Nissan announced that they'd be moving production from Japan to Smyrna, Tennessee. Now, the automaker is saying that once the move is complete, they hope sales of the LEAF will double.

How many models is that? About 20,000 units by the end of the...

Maybe the unique styling of the Nissan Juke has intrigued you, but you thought that the peppy 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine still left a bit to be desired? Well, Nissan has heard you, performance enthusiasts - the more powerful Nissan Juke Nismo will grace Nissan showrooms in 2013 - first in Europe, and then in the United States.

What inspired Nissan to tune up the Juke? Well, when the automaker unveiled the...

Nissan has been on the forefront of fuel economy improvements, and the 2013 Nissan Altima is breaking ground again, reporting overall mile per gallon numbers at 38 for the new 2.5L!

This is significant, as it beats the overall MPG numbers from the 2011 Altima Hybrid!  The only thing topping this is the Nissan LEAF 100% plug-in electric vehicle, and the 2013 Altima makes a perfect compliment for a 2-car family to have another?

What kind of accessories does it take to push the cost of the $19,990 Nissan Juke up over half-a-million dollars? Well, first of all, there aren't any accessories packages available at Connell Nissan that are worth quite that much money, so we're sorry to say you can't get that kind of car here. But if you were to order directly through Nissan - the $590,000 Juke-R can be all yours.

What makes it worth so much? Well, this is a car that...

When you stop by a dealership like Connell Nissan, all of the shiny new Nissan models are all nicely lined up in our showroom and out in the lot, just waiting for a Costa Mesa driver to take one of them for a test drive. But they don't just appear here magically overnight - cars like the Nissan LEAF go through an awful lot before the end up here in California.

Specifically, it's important...

The Nissan LEAF has been such a success here in the States, that Nissan recently opened ordering up to every state in the country. This is the first EV to go on sale nationwide, and it's already won tons of awards and recognition for its efficiency and its stylish design. It's a bit of a different story overseas, however, and Nissan has plans to tweak it a bit for European drivers.
