Designed by Nissan Design America in San Diego, Calif., the Quest is powered by the same great 3.5-liter V-6 found in at least six other Nissan/Infiniti vehicles, giving it more oomph (240 hp, 242 lb-ft of torque) than most owners will ever ask of it. It rides on the same FF-L platform found in the Altima, Murano, and Maxima. the Quest has the longest, widest-opening doors in its class, which makes getting to and from the third-row seat a cinch. Back-seat access is further simplified by the trick second-row bucket seats, which tilt up and forward (seat cushion and all), much like the front seats do in the VW Beetle. The second-row seats fold flat, and the third-row bench folds flat into the floor for maximum cargo-carrying capacity. Interior volume has increased 44 cubic feet over the previous Quest, placing it among the roomiest front-wheel-drive minivans.Inside the feeling is open, spacious and modern, with furniture-style seats, ample walk-through space and bold interior colors. “Urban loft” is the how Nissan design director Alfonso Albaisa described the feeling they were trying to evoke. Up front, the shift lever, A/C and audio controls are clustered on a round, table-top-like console that projects up from the floor like a barrel. The instrument panel and information/navigation display screen is located above the console. For the driver, there’s a covered storage bin on the dashboard behind the steering wheel and a steering-column clip for securing a grocery list, photo, or directions to Aunt Betty’s house. The Quest is offered in three trim levels: 3.5 S, 3.5 SL, and 3.5 SE. We were driving the top-drawer SE model, which features a Skyview Roof — four skylights extending over the second and third rows. Running between the skylights is an airline-style overhead console with reading lights, storage compartments, and two optional DVD screens (so kids in the third row don’t get feel deprived). On the roomy comfort front, the Quest is about as good as they get. Sitting in the third-row seat with the second-row seat pulled back as far as it would go, I still had two inches between my knees and the seatback. I reclined in the second seat, slid it back three notches, and had miles of legroom. It was so comfortable I would have fallen asleep. But first I had to inspect the rear audio controls (available with wireless headphones), A/C controls, and power outlets (two in front, two in back). The two rear outlets are oddly located. To use them, a second-seat occupant would have to stretch a cord back to the third row, and with that outlet in use, a third-row passenger would have to stretch the cord to the baggage area. This vehicle is being sold AS IS & the winning buyer will have 10 working days to remove this vehicle from the dealership premises. failure to do so will result in a $20.00 per day storage fee thereafter.

Auditor had questioned Nissan on payments in Ghosn scandal, source says

Wed, Nov 28 2018

TOKYO — Nissan's auditor had repeatedly questioned transactions at the heart of allegations of financial misconduct by former chief Carlos Ghosn, but Nissan said they were proper, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday. Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC questioned Nissan's management several times, chiefly around 2013, about purchases of overseas luxury homes for Ghosn's personal use and of stock-appreciation rights that were conferred on him. But the Japanese automaker said the transactions and financial reporting were appropriate, the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity. The revelation shows Nissan and its auditor were discussing the transactions, in apparent contrast with Nissan's contention that the alleged misreporting of benefits for Ghosn was masterminded by Ghosn and a key lieutenant. A spokesman for EY ShinNihon, the Japanese affiliate of global accounting firm Ernst & Young, said he could not comment on specific cases. A Nissan spokesman declined to comment. Ghosn was arrested on Nov. 19 as he arrived in Japan. Prosecutors accuse him of falsifying Nissan's annual reports to understate by about half his total compensation of some 10 billion yen ($90 million) over several years. The high-profile former executive has denied the allegations, according to Japanese media. Ghosn remains in custody and is unable to speak publicly. He is represented by former prosecutor Motonari Otsuru, according to Japanese media. Otsuru's law firm declined to comment on Wednesday, and Otsuru has not responded to requests for comment. Nissan has largely pinned the blame on Ghosn and Greg Kelly, a former representative director who was arrested along with Ghosn on the same allegations. "As a result of the investigation, we are certain these two are the masterminds," CEO Hiroto Saikawa told a news conference on Nov. 19, referring to Ghosn and Kelly. He declined to say whether others at Nissan were involved in the alleged wrongdoing. An internal investigation is ongoing, and Nissan says it is cooperating with prosecutors. Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors have removed Ghosn as chairman in the wake of his arrest. The French member of the three-firm alliance, Renault, retains him as chairman and CEO.

FCA-Renault merger faces tall odds delivering on cost-cutting promises

Thu, May 30 2019

FRANKFURT/DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Renault promise huge savings from a mega-merger, but such combinations face tall odds because of the industry's long product cycles and problems translating deal blueprints into real world success, industry veterans told Reuters. BMW's 1994 purchase of Rover, and Daimler's 1998 merger with Chrysler both made sense on paper. The companies promised to hike profits by combining vehicle platforms and engine families. Both combinations proved unworkable in reality, and were unwound. Renault and Nissan, which have been in an alliance since 1999 designed to share vehicle components, have only managed to use common vehicle platforms in 35% of Nissan's products despite an original target of 70%, according to Morgan Stanley. FCA and Renault have raised the stakes for themselves by ruling out plant closures. That increases the pressure to achieve more than $5 billion in promised annual savings from pooling procurement and research investments. The two companies have yet to fill in many of the blanks in the merger plan put forward by Fiat Chrysler. Renault's board is expected to act soon to accept the proposal, but that would lead only to a memorandum of understanding to pursue detailed operational and financial plans. A final deal and the legal combination of the two companies could take months to complete if all goes well. Pressure to cut automotive pollution is driving the latest round of consolidation. Automakers are looking at multibillion-dollar bills to develop electric and hybrid cars and cleaner internal combustion engines. Fiat Chrysler and Renault are betting they can design common electric vehicle systems, then sell more of them through their respective brands and dealer networks, cutting the cost per car. Developing all-new electric vehicles can bring more opportunities to share costs from the outset, industry experts said. "With the emergence of connected, autonomous, electric and shared vehicles, carmakers face immediate investments, so new opportunities for sharing costs have emerged," said Elmar Kades, managing director at Alix Partners. However, most electric vehicles lose money. This is a challenge for city car brands in Europe in particular. Both Renault and Fiat rely heavily on this segment for sales.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
