Nissan Frontier Truck

Car Grills
2009 Nissan Frontier Truck.
One result of the Nissan Frontier's 2009 facelift is the PRO-4X trim level. Equipped with off-road suspension and shocks, the pickup is basically the same underneath as the 2008 NISMO Frontier, but the PRO-4X name change puts it in sync with the terminology used for big brother Titan's off-road package.
Nissan fitted the PRO-4X with a roof rack and added to the truck's sporty look with 16 inch alloy wheels and BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires. Color keyed bumpers and front foglights complete the pickup's unique exterior appearance.
Underneath, the PRO-4X sports Bilstein off-road gas shocks and an electronic locking rear differential. Additional skid plates protect the bottom of the radiator, differentials, transmission and transfer case from bumps and bruises.
Inside, the truck's red-stitched seats have a PRO-4X logo on their backs. White face gauges are easy to see and controls are within easy reach on the truck's updated center control panel.
Driving the 2009 Frontier Trucks
Our day-long Frontier road tests started out along the Columbia River and progressed upwards into the mountains of Washington state. I drove a 2WD King Cab Frontier first (an XE trim level truck with a 4-cylinder engine and 5 speed transmission). XE's are 'no frills' pickups, with cloth covered (manually adjustable) seats, a basic audio system and (heaven forbid) manual windows.


Driving the XE was good timing, because I've been thinking about the first compact trucks lately, and how they've evolved into the feature-packed drives we've become accustomed to. And I've wondered... are people still willing to buy a pure utility truck?

The XE is as close as we can get to those early trucks, and it was a pleasant surprise. Controls and switches were all very easy to locate and reach. That may sound simplistic, but I've seen first-hand how frustrating it is for some drivers to figure out complex dash controls on new vehicles -- features sometimes go unused because people never get comfortable with their operation.


The XE's 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine came to life with little fanfare. I put the shifter into 1st, eased out the clutch pedal and aimed the Frontier down the highway (he clutch pedal wasn't too stiff and the engagement was very smooth). Shifting was effortless and the shift knob is easy to reach regardless of which gear you are in.

We get so accustomed to driving V8s and V6s that it's easy to forget how peppy a 4-cylinder engine can be. Driving on winding roads up into higher elevations, the XE's engine not only had plenty of power, but the truck was actually a lot of fun. I found myself shifting up and down through the gears as I switched from curves to straight stretches.

Dealership Closures to Increase Into 2009

Car grills
DETROIT (Reuters) - The number of U.S. car dealerships closing is expected to increase into 2009 with as many as 3,800 dealerships at risk of closure because of dwindling sales and tighter credit, according to a newly released study by Grant Thornton LLP on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT

With U.S. light vehicle sales predicted to drop to the 13.7-million-unit range in 2009, the study said that about 18 percent of the total number of U.S. car dealerships would need to close to maintain sales per dealer at last year's level of about 750 units.

"An increasing number of dealers are simply closing their doors because sales have plummeted, credit has dried up, the overall retail environment is increasingly challenging and potential investors are sitting on the sidelines," said Paul Melville, a partner with Grant Thornton LLP.

"In addition, the domestic automakers who badly need retail consolidation are not spending much of their scarce capital on the problem because the economy is doing it for them," he said.

Bill Heard Enterprises Inc, one of the biggest General Motors Corp Chevrolet dealerships, filed for bankruptcy on Sunday, citing operating losses, decreased demand for vehicles and lack of credit.

At its peak, Georgia-based Heard's revenue was about $2.5 billion per year, according to the bankruptcy filing.

U.S. vehicle sales are expected to be flat next year with any recovery in demand expected only in 2010, as consumers struggle with tight credit, high gasoline prices and a housing market slump.

The drop in demand has been particularly hard for Detroit-based automakers GM, Ford Motor Co and Chrysler LLC. GM's sales were down 18.5 percent in the first eight months of 2008 while Ford's sales declined 16 percent and sales at Chrysler, controlled by Cerberus Capital Management, dropped 24 percent.

Thornton said apart from new car sales, other sources of revenue for dealers, such as used car sales and financing profits, are also falling.

All three U.S. automakers are in the midst of shrinking their U.S. dealer network as they cut labor costs and slower-selling models in the face of slack sales and declining market share.

Analysts have said that U.S. carmakers need to cut U.S. dealerships -- particularly in crowded city markets -- in order to drive more sales through remaining stores and free up funds for advertising and new investment.

GM cut some 260 affiliated dealers last year, which took its U.S. dealer count to about 6,750 outlets at the start of 2008.

Unrealistically high price demands by sellers has slowed voluntary consolidation, however, according to Grant Thornton.

The deal-making environment is expected to improve in the early part of 2009, the study said.

"Prices will come down as the weak market continues to erode franchise values, and as liquidity returns, we see more consolidation deals proceeding," Melville said.

He added that if franchise values were to fall 20 percent, it could stimulate mergers and acquisitions activity.

AutoNation Inc Chief Executive Mike Jackson, whose company is the largest U.S. public dealership group, said last month that he expects the U.S. auto franchise sector to undergo a continued shakeout over the next couple of years.

Toyota develops rear window airbag

TOKYO–Toyota Motor Corp. has developed a rear window air bag to upgrade protection for back-seat passengers.

In the event of a rear-end collision, the air bag is ejected from the roof lining above the rear window and spreads like a curtain to protect the heads of the rear passengers.

Toyota said Tuesday the rear window curtain-shield air bag is the world's first.

The new safety gear will debut in the "iQ" compact four-seat vehicle, to be introduced later this year.

As part of an effort to attract buyers, Toyota has tried to make side air bags and shield air bags standard features.

Fiat launches super-tuned 500 Abarth

Car grills
Fiat's 500 Abarth promises to be a sought after baby hot hatch when it arrives in the UK next year, but just in case its 135bhp isn't enough for you, there's the new esseesse tuning kit.

The esseesse (pronounced simply 'S S') will be unveiled at the Paris Show alongside the racing version of the 500 and it goes a lot further than just a more powerful engine.

New 17-inch alloy wheels - available in white or a titanium finish - form part of the kit and really add to the sporting appearance of the Abarth model.

Lowered springs enhance the stance too, while new cross-drilled brake discs are fitted front and rear, along with high-performance brake pads at the front.

Performance is boosted by the 160bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, with 0-62mph taking 7.4 seconds and a top speed in excess of 130mph.

Although the esseesse tuning kit is only sold on mainland Europe through authorised Abarth showrooms, it's possible that UK buyers will obtain their cars through regular Fiat dealers. Prices have yet to be announced. Billet grills

Small Classic Car Auction Lures Deep Pockets

 car grills
The Worldwide Group auction at the end of August wasn't technically in the city of Auburn. But the Auburn name spells special car auctions to so many, that it likely seemed the best marketing approach.

But one would never confuse the Worldwide Auburn sale in a rural setting with the Kruse International event a few miles to the north. There were far fewer cars at Worldwide, there was no swap meet and, at least on the preview day, there were no vendors of Polish sausage and elephant ears.


Worldwide sheltered its products from the late-summer sun and dust of Indiana. Some vehicles even enjoyed an air conditioned setting, where prospective buyers could review them in complete comfort.

There were a few sales in the $20,000 range on August 30. Most required deeper pockets or longer lines of credit, with a 1959 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series III SWB the biggest sale of the weekend at $2.5 million. There were 80 cars for sale; 52 of them sold in the August 30 event.

Several other rare and desirable cars brought six figures. A few went home unsold.
 1953 Buick Super Estate Wagon sold for $99,000.
On the welcoming committee, with outside-the-tent duty on August 29, were a green 1929 Duesenberg J convertible coupe with swiveling headlamps and a 1953 Buick Super Estate Wagon clad in wood. The Buick brought $99,000 (prices include buyer's premium). The Duesenberg Derham convertible went for $742,500.

Nothing came close to the sale price of that '59 Ferrari 410 Superamerica, but there were some respectably high figures in addition to the Duesenberg Derham. A perfect, white 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Roi-des-Belges brought $522,500, and a 1934 Packard Twelve Model 1107 seven-passenger touring car went for $495.

A 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster sold for $545,000.

The most modest sales included a bright-blue 1929 Franklin Model 137 seven-passenger Oxford sedan, a 1932 Chevrolet Confederate standard two-door sedan and a 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Series _-ton pickup truck going for $22,000 each.

Worldwide's next auction is slated for November 1 at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Skoda Octavia Scout

chevy-tahoe-dash-kits
Stretching its legs on a couple of lengthy motorway journeys of late. The first was a trip of to Le Mans for the annual 24 Hours extravaganza, where we met up with fellow Yahoo! long term reporters Shane and Kyle. My trip from Perthshire took me to Reigate via the Lake District on the first leg south, and on the second day to France through the Channel Tunnel and on to La Sarthe for the race. Like the others, camping was the order of the day and the Scout's boot coped easily with tent, deck chair, clothes and muddy boots. The return leg was a doodle as I managed to miss the crush leaving the circuit and ambled up the peage with the cruise control set at the French legal limit of 130km/h to make it to my Boulogne overnight stop. Another day, another long motorway trip as I collected my wife in London and headed home. All in, 1,700 miles in four days and the Scout shrugged it off with ease.

We're loving the -

The front seats. After the trip to Le Mans, an early start was required a few days later to have me at a mid-morning meeting in Birmingham. Dragging myself from a warm bed was made marginally easier thanks to the Skoda's superb seats. All the way to France and back and then during the return trip to Brum, not so much as an ache, creak or twinge - and this is from someone who suffers from a bad back. The trip home from Birmingham was frustrated by the M6 being closed south of Manchester, so a cross-country jaunt over the Peak District to the M1 also showed up how easily the Scout shifts from motorway cruiser to back road rouser. Throughout all of these long distance hi-jinks, the other element of comfort that has left a deep sense of satisfactions is the Octavia's stereo. With an MP3 connection as standard and my iPod plugged in, the speakers belt out my questionable choice in music with clarity and more than enough volume for my delicate ears. This is an important point when covering plenty of miles, which I'm more than grateful for after hearing of Kyle's woes with the Mazda's speakers.

But not so impressed by -

There's something loose underneath the dash. Even more frustrating is it's an intermittent problem as whatever is rolling around free must sometimes become lodged and ceases its campaign of torture. Whatever it is, it's easily upset by back road bumps that cause it to jump into life. A trip to the local dealership will hopefully cure this under warranty and be the first test of Skoda's service network that I've encountered since taking possession of the Octavia Scout's keys.

We're looking forward to -

Believe it or not, some towing. New house means lots of rubbish to cart to the dump and a recent session of garden clearing has left me with a pile of refuse too big and filthy to put inside the Skoda. So, it will be a first time test of the Scout's optional tow bar pack and only the third time I've dabbled with the black art of reverse parking with a trailer. Still, it will be worth it to be able to see the back garden again. If all goes well with the trailer, I may even be brave enough to make use of a borrowed caravan to head off on holiday later this year.

Mr. Pruitt says he has been work his new car the Q10 out of admire for that early power. vehiclemobile racing has long been touted as a focus of study and polishment that eventually finds its way to cars customers can buy. But nowadays sequence like Nascar's gallop Cup use technology that is crude compared with that found in the usual family car. American Le Mans officials say companies that chase in their sequence, with Volkwagen AG's Audi group, broad Motors Corp. and Honda Motor Co.'s Acura describe are polishing systems that will seem in boulevard cars inside a few living.

New diesel boulevard cars from Audi and Volkswagen burn cleaner and have surprisingly high horsestrength and fuel efficiency, in part because the fuel systems and engine-rule electronics were polished on the path in Audi's diesel-strengthed R10 chase cars. The Corsa Zytek cross, the Audi diesels and other chase cars strengthed by E85 are part of what the sequence calls the Green Challenge, which awards prizes for efficiency. Mr. Atherton of American Le Mans says the Corsa party's power is the creation of widespread acceptance of crosss. "I think cross strength will presently be part of the automotive fabric across the timber."

Hybrid Race Car Planned. 1

Dash Kits
DETROIT A racing party competing in the American Le Mans chain survival-racing sequence diplomacy to reveal a cross car nowadays. The car, a prototype called the Corsa Zytek mixture, is the findings of a partnership between the salted Lake City-based chase party Corsa Motorsports and Zytek Group Ltd., a U.K. automotive engineering and electronics party with offices in Novi, Mich. It competes in a sequence of chases in North America and Europe that limit in piece from just under three hours to 24 hours.

Zytek's goods embrace components for cross passenger vehicles, so the technology on the racing car could filter down to vehicles on the boulevard in the impending. "This car represents the next footstep in cross technology, says Scott Atherton, chief executive of the American Le Mans chain. He prominent that the use of cross strength in racing highlights its probable to heighten presentance as well as fuel family.

Steve Pruitt, who heads Corsa Motorsport, says the car uses lithium-ion batteries that add relatively little power to the car. The party had to add weight to the car to convey it to the requisite smallest power. Still, Mr. Pruitt says the batteries are the car's "Achilles' heel" because it is undecided how they will present in the harsh conditions of survival racing.

Land Rover Crosses Bering Straits

Dodge grilles
Steve Burgess, a farmer from West Yorkshire has become the first person to successful cross the Bering Straits in a road vehicle.

That's a fairly loose interpretation of a road vehicle, as the Land Rover Defender Burgess drove was fitted with floatation devices.

The crossing which stretches between Siberia and Alaska, is more usually attempted in the winter when ice creates a bridge between the two land masses.

However, Steve decided to navigate the gap in the summer as part of his Cape to Cape Expedition.

At its narrowest point the gap is just 56 miles across, though tricky currents, icebergs and tough weather make any crossing difficult.

Steve was caught up in the notoriously tricky weather, having to stop on the island Little Diomede during his crossing.
He ended up adding to the island's population of 140 for a whole month, bad weather and difficulty in sorting out a safety boat almost grounding the adventure.

With the Bering Straits now crossed Burgess will be pressing on through the tundra this winter - the boggy land virtually impassable until it freezes.

Following that Steve plans to drive through North and South America, Steve expecting to cover 30,000 miles on his unique adventure.

2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT Vs. 2002 Lincoln Blackwood

Dash Kits
Debate continues over whether or not Lincoln and Cadillac belong in the truck business. The former has been around since 1917, the latter was founded 100 years ago. And if you don't count the Escalade and Navigator SUVs or the odd custom-bodied special here and there, each has managed to last this long without building trucks. Why now?

Simple: Times change, as do people's wants, tastes, and needs. At the moment, the market wants trucks and sport/utilities to the tune of one out of every two new vehicles sold. And, like it or not, Lincoln and Cadillac are in business to move metal and earn a profit. So while '55 Continental Mark II and '59 Eldorado convertible collectors may feel the very notion of rigs like the Blackwood and Escalade EXT is blasphemy, they're here. With the aforementioned profit notions clearly in view. If people want, like, and buy them, they'll be proven as good product ideas. If they tank, well then, the collectors were right all along.

For the sake of this exercise, we're not here to further debate brand heritage or talk philosophy: We're here to drive, test, evaluate, and pick a winner. Both lux trucks are new for '02 and clearly stem from developments of Ford's and GM's full-size pickups. But there are distinct differences in their platforms and how they handle cargo-or don't. And that defines what each is ultimately about.

You don't have to squint to see the Blackwood's commonality with the Ford F-150 SuperCrew. It employs a full-size cab with four front-hinged doors, though its separate 56.3-in.-long bed is different from that of the Ford. The cabin's rear bulkhead is fixed, as is its rear window, and there's no access to the bed area from inside. Its claim-to-parking-lot fame is the way that bed is decked out: Ya got yer plush carpeting, yer aluminum trim, and ya got yer neon lights, too. The topper, in this case, is the topper: the Blackwood's nicely finished hard tonneau cover is power-operated and opens and closes via a key fob remote. Your neighbors and car-club buddies will be blown away, and your golf clubs will never be happier.

The EXT, on the other hand, evolved from GM's full-size sport/utility platform (Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade). The full-size-cab-with-four-front-hinged-doors part is the same, though the rear bodywork flows into the sides of a non-detached bed structure with a 63.3-in.-long floor. Its trick feature is GM's patented Midgate. This device functions as a hinged rear bulkhead and allows the load floor to be expanded to a full 97 in. Fold the rear seats forward, then remove the rear window via a quick-release latch. The window stows neatly in the Midgate, which then folds down, creating that extended floor. If you wish, you can also leave the rear window in place with the Midgate lowered or remove the window with the Midgate up for more fresh air.

Doesn't this whole setup-virtually the same as on Chevrolet's new Avalanche-sound like a recipe for squeaks, leaks, and wind noise? Yes-but GM has effectively engineered all the above right out of it. This setup is functional, versatile, and cleverly executed. Unlike the Lincoln's street-rod-inspired bed, the EXT's is set up for heavy-duty use, with rubberized floor matting and two lockable side stowage bins. Unlike those on the Blackwood, they are accessible from outside the bed and are also at least twice as large as the Lincoln's. The Cadillac's bed is approximately 20 in. tall-a full 5 in. taller than the Blackwood's, and that means a lot in terms of additional overall volume.
