Nissan Social Experience at Paris Motor Show

Experience, interact and share - Nissan is taking the excitement of a global Motor Show online through a series of socially enabled experiences. From on-stand RFID activation points to a live Google+ Hangout with the creator of the awe-inspiring Nissan DeltaWing, a full spectrum of social activities will include millions in the Paris Motor Show conversation.

The day before the show even opens to the media, Nissan fans will get unprecedented access by taking part in a Google+ Hangout broadcast live from the Paris Show stand on Wednesday, September 26 at 3 p.m. CET. Members of the online community will be able to login to the live video broadcast and pose their own questions to the man who is challenging every aspect of race car design.

Once the doors to the show are open, no fewer than twelve individual RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) activation points will be available on the Nissan stand. Through a simple sign-up process, visitors can easily link their on-stand experience with friends via their Facebook account by using a hands-free passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID system created by Dwinq, a social-media technology company based in Massachusetts.

Four bespoke experiences have also been created for visitors who register for automated social media sharing using the RFID platform. Each person will receive a personalized VIP card and lanyard, allowing them to design their own car, create a sound for the Nissan LEAF and appear on the front cover of a magazine via the Micra experience.  Stand visitors will also be able to see themselves on a digitally created picture of Times Square in a special Nissan NV200 New York Taxi application.

David Parkinson, General Manager Social & Digital Engagement for Nissan in Europe, explained: "Our customers expect us to be bold with technology and social media, so we wanted to create a series of show experiences which were exciting and socially shareable.  Through the personalized RFID experiences, we are really excited to have created a truly socially interactive stand throughout which we're confident our show visitors will love."

In addition to the millions of Google+ users who will have the opportunity to be part of Ben Bowlby's Hangout, up to 10,000 people are expected to participate in Nissan's interactive experiences first hand, during the two-week show.

PreSale: My car was old. I decided to buy a new car. My mechanic told me that Nissan and Hyundai were the brands that required the least maintenance. I wanted a "bottom-line" vehicle. Accent was too small. Versa was just right and had great gas MPG.
Melloy Nissan @ Albuquerque: I checked every Nissan dealer in New Mexico. Melloy Nisson had the most inventory and had outside and interior colors that I liked. I chose a 2012 Nissan Versa SV. Titanium outside with sandstone interior. I went from a 2002 vehicle with 140,000 miles to a brand new Versa and USAA dropped my six month insurance premium because the Versa has loads of safety features.
My Salesman: Zeke De La Rosa chose me to be his customer. Zeke was great! Zeke is the kind of buddy you want to go out and have a beer with after church! He explained everything and guided the process. I was never left out to dry. He was there from the start to the finish. The Versa I bought was spotless and ready to go. It even had a full tank of gas. Melloy Nissan is to be commended for their service!
Customer Service: I had a few questions after the purchase. Paula Ramos and Jenette Padilla called me numerous times and explained the complex mathematical algorisms used to determine the price of a Versa SV. This was post-graduate. Way above my doctorate, but I sincerely appreciate their efforts and commend Melloy Nissan for having such good employees.
Recommendation: 1.If you have a very used car, sell it yourself or give it to a charity. Used car trade-ins complicate the purchase process. 2. Use the web site only as a guide. Once the war (purchase) starts all plans go out the window. 3. Use Zeke.
4. Remember, no matter what happens, you are getting a very good vehicle!

Nissan Power Goes Global

SAO PAULO, Brazil – The FIA World Endurance Championship goes global this weekend as the teams leave Silverstone behind and head off to Sao Paulo in Brazil.  Round five of the championship is the 'Six Hours of Sao Paulo' and it takes place this Saturday at Interlagos.  Seven of the 11 LMP2 runners in Brazil will compete with Nissan engines and the competition is expected to be as fierce as ever.

The Interlagos track is known the world over as the home of the Brazilian Grand Prix.  It is a tricky circuit, running in an unusual anti-clockwise direction, and has many features that will challenge the WEC teams.

Signatech Nissan had a difficult race at Silverstone so the French team is motivated to leave this in the past and go on the attack in Brazil. For Nissan's GT Academy winner Jordan Tresson, this weekend will be a brand new experience.

"This is not only my first time at Interlagos but also the first time I have been to Brazil," said Jordan. "It's always exciting to race on the F1 tracks as you can feel the history at some of those places, especially here where so many world championships have been decided.

"In terms of the track itself it looks quite tricky," he continued. "It is a technical circuit so I have prepared a lot by spending time in the simulator and also watching a lot of in-car camera footage and studying data from the team.  I will also have a good look at the circuit on foot when I get there.  The other factors we need to prepare for are the likelihood of heavy rain showers but we can't predict that yet and of course the load on the other side of my neck with the anti-clockwise track."

Jordan is well aware that there will be a lot of work to do in Brazil. Unlike the European race tracks, Interlagos is relatively unknown to the teams so the free practice sessions should see a lot of track activity.

"As we don't race regularly at Interlagos we need to do a lot of work on different set ups when we arrive so the practice sessions will be very busy," he explained. "I think our car will be strong there but the Signatech Nissan team is a fast team that reacts quickly so that will also help us a lot. As usual it will be a tough fight against a vey strong field of LMP2 cars."

The Six Hours of Sao Paulo takes place this Saturday so the two 90-minute free practice sessions will get underway on Thursday at 11:00 and 15:30. There will be a further hour of practice on Friday morning before qualifying at 14:30 on Friday afternoon.  The race will get the green light at 12:00hrs on Saturday. (All times local, Sao Paulo is -5 hours CET)

Zero Emissions, Zero Limits

PARIS – The Nissan TeRRA SUV concept, to be unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show on Sep 27, combines two outstanding Nissan strengths – SUVs and EVs – in a vehicle that is equally in its element off-road in the wild or gliding silently through a sophisticated urban setting.  With an innovative 4x4 fuel-cell electric powertrain and an athletic exterior that projects an unforgettable presence beyond its compact dimensions, TeRRA takes sustainable motoring into exciting new territory.

Envisioned as "the one and only Zero Emission SUV," TeRRA builds on Nissan's success with urban-relevant SUVs and crossovers like Murano and Qashqai and asserts that its zero-emission expertise extends all the way to fuel cells. Designed as a functional and flexible choice for tomorrow's youthful, "always on" consumers, TeRRA answers their aspiration for eco-friendliness along with a secure driving feel under any road conditions.

• Nissan-developed fuel cell vehicle opens path to future zero-emission SUV featuring electric 3-motor AWD
• Compact SUV exterior design expresses athletic eco-appeal with "Modern Toughness" that's confident off-road or in the city
• Unique seating layout and material fusion set a new paradigm in SUV category
• Portable instrument cluster creates seamless digital space

Nissan Prepares for British GT Showdown

SILVERSTONE, UK – The scene has been set for a dramatic showdown in the 2012 British GT Championship with a group of cars all in with a shot at the title at the season-closer in three weeks' time.  This weekend's race at Silverstone produced a mixed result for many of the title contenders, not least the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 that finished in eighth place after a three-hour long battle at Silverstone.

The No.35 Nissan GT-R is still in third place in the championship but the scores are so close that the Donington race looks set to become a winner-takes-all event.

Even though it was Jann Mardenborough's 21st birthday last weekend, the young Nissan racer didn't get the winner's trophy this time out.  With many of the top runners receiving time penalties for various on-track misdemeanours, the No.35 Nissan GT-R wasn't left out and had a few too many trips to the 'naughty step'.

The weekend started well for the team and Jann qualified the GT-R in ninth place against the professional racers in the series.  His team-mate Alex Buncombe took the start and was up to third place by lap four and then took third just a couple of laps later.  It looked like they would be able to climb up the order and take a top result but then the penalties began to come.  The main issue was with drivers running too wide at Copse corner but that extra bit of tarmac was far too enticing for most of the cars on track today, one of which got caught out six times!

Unfortunately for the team the GT-R later developed an ABS problem and Jann had to do his final stint without ABS or traction control so he was very busy in the car.

"That final run was tough," said Jann. "It is what it is though so I just got stuck in and made the best of it.  We raced hard today and eighth place doesn't reflect the work that everyone put in. We will come back stronger at Donington and it looks like everything is still there for the taking so that is going to be an amazing event.  We're up for the fight and I think our competitors are too so if you were going to watch a British GT race this year make it the next one!"

"It was annoying to have the problems with the car and it was annoying to have the penalties," said team boss Bob Neville, summing up the day. "The good news is that our main opposition also struggled and we managed to score some points so there is still a championship title up for grabs."

The Donington round of the 2012 British GT Championship takes place on September 30.

Outstanding sales experience with this dealer.Sales Consultant Susan Miller was very knowledgeable about the product she was selling and very helpful during all steps of the process. Assistance after the sale was also the best we've had from any dealership. (answering questions, setting up cell phone, etc.)

2012 SUPER GT Round 6 Preview

SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE, Japan – The sixth round of the 2012 SUPER GT series will be held on September 8 and 9 at Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture. SUPER GT generally sticks to only one race per year at tracks in Japan and elsewhere, but in recent years has made an exception in order to hold two races annually at Fuji, the mecca of GT racing.

Fuji Speedway is known as a high-speed track, but it is in the circuit's third sector, with its numerous mid- and low-speed corners, that it becomes necessary to reduce drag and make optimal use of downforce. Also, in contrast to the last time the series visited the track, for Round 2 back in May, conditions including the weather and the race distance itself will be different, necessitating modified racing strategies. The race in May covered 500kms, with two mandatory pit stops, whereas this visit will see longer individual stints in a race distance of 300kms. With higher track surface temperatures expected for Round 6, it is easy to see that this race will be demanding on tires.

At the previous round, held at Suzuka, the #1 MOLA NISSAN GT-R notched up its first victory of the season. Hopes have been raised for the entire GT-R lineup, which have shown sufficient speed throughout the first four races as well. Special attention will be focused on the #23 NISMO entry this time around. Also, in the official joint test that took place at Fuji on August 9 and 10, the #24 KONDO RACING entry scored the top time in two of the test sessions, bringing confidence that the car has found its speed again.

With Fuji being their home track, and the site of many outstanding performances in the past, the LEXUS-equipped entries are expected to shine, as are the Honda contestants, which will benefit from their relatively light amounts of success ballast. The season is also heading into the closing stages, and interest is therefore shifting to the overall championship, making this Fuji round all the more important as teams try to grab any available advantage as we near the final race of the season.

After grabbing its first victory recently at SUGO, NDDP Racing's #3 S Road NDDP GT-R kept up its promising form by placing second at Suzuka, moving into second place overall in the GT300 title chase. Extra interest will be paid to the young NDDP (Nissan Driver Development Program) drivers who will be pushing hard for a chance at the championship, particularly Daiki Sasaki, who will be making his first race appearance.

Our experience at Melloy was outstanding, primarily due to Susan Miller. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and honest and really knew her product. Brandon in Finance was also very helpful and went the extra mile to make sure the paperwork was completed correctly. Would highly recommend this dealership over any other in New Mexico.

Melloy Nissan was amazing. I've been going to them for several years to have two used Altimas serviced. The service department is great, very honest and fair in running their business. This was my first time buying a new car from Melloy Nissan. Susan was a great sales person. She had a very casual approach and was not pushy like some sales people. She wanted to make sure I got the right car for my needs and she listened to everything I said. In the end I got a great deal, great customer service and a really nice car.
