LOS ANGELES — Nissan has some major firepower planned for the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, confirming that it will debut the Nissan Ellure concept and the Murano CrossCabriolet, as well as providing a first look at the production version of the 2011 Nissan Leaf.
The Murano CrossCabriolet will go on sale in early 2011, said Nissan in a statement.
The CrossCabriolet is the name of the four-passenger Murano convertible. Nissan is calling it the "world's first all-wheel-drive crossover convertible." Details such as pricing are not yet available.
Nissan says the Ellure concept is its "new-value sedan exploration." It said the concept is designed to add "passion and emotion to traditional sedan efficiency."
The redesigned Nissan Quest makes it world debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and will go on sale in early 2011.

Nissan's biggest problem is their outdated VQ engines in the 370Z and others. It shakes so much and I felt like the emergency brake was on in my test drive of the Z. But otherwise I think they are a viable and progressive company, despite what one thinks of their styling. At least they have some (style that is)

You can love it or hate it. Call it wierd or cool. The one thing you can't call Nissan is outdated unlike pretty much anything GM makes. The Volt was an interesting concept years ago. Now its an outdated, underpowered Chevy Malibu that holds little meaning in the auto market. Kind of sad when it's not even out yet.
kingon, I have no idea what your trying to say. Please translate to English.

I agree with davedutton12. popular bought mostly Honda or Toyota are more affordable than Nissan. I think Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima are little more expensive for performance. it is interest for 370Z and GT-R. if Nissan will mix up regular, standard, limited (little luxury less than Infiniti) sports performance will based Infiniti G37 is RWD/AWD. if Nissan Skyline will might replace to Nissan Maxima.

Does an efficient vehicle have to look like a blob of snot? No. I'll take a Volt.
I did register to win a Leaf in an Apple iAd, but I'd definitely trade it in as soon as the title comes. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $1,500 to install a home charger for that goofy looking thing.

No, I think the new Ellure is going to be the next Sentra.
I don't think the Altima is considered a value sedan.
The Altima and Maxima are a success, the Sentra is a relative failure in it's class.
They need to do something major with it.

If I remember correctly, Nissan/Infiniti wasn't even in the LA Auto Show last year.
Definitely not a major player, not with these UFOs at least.

It was ugly then. Its still ugly now. No thanks Nissan. Your designs are getting as goofy as Honda, Toyota, and a 1960's Renualt schelp-mobiles.
