MOTHERS-DAY-1

We would like to take a moment and wish all the mothers in the area a very happy and special Mother’s Day! We appreciate all you do!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 28, 2016) – Did your mom let you borrow her car for your first date that turned into a lifelong love? Did she slip you some gas money and teach you the rules of the road? Perhaps your mom drove you to school and to great success later in life. If she did, Nissan wants to hear from you. Through social media, Nissan is looking for awesome-mom stories from its fans. Selected fans will win their mom a limited edition #BoxOfNissans chocolates, so unique they cannot be purchased in any store.

“Every year we see a surge of social-media love notes to honor a special woman on Mother’s Day, and Nissan is helping its fans make this year’s day even more special,” said Jeremy Tucker, Nissan, vice president, Marketing Communications and Media. “Moms have helped many of us navigate through childhood, so we created a way for our passionate and driven fans to give something truly unique and special to their moms.”

That something “unique and special” is a limited edition box of chocolates in the shape of your favorite Nissan models. Each box contains 15 pieces of chocolate: five dark-chocolate Maximas, five milk-chocolate Rogues, and five white-chocolate GT-Rs.

If you think your mom would like this thoughtful gift, Nissan encourages you to submit your awesome-mom stories through social media by May 8th. No purchase is necessary but there are rules and regulations you should look over to make sure you submit your story correctly.

In recent years, it’s become apparent that “living green” is favorable to a healthy future for us and our families. We also now understand that vehicles are one of the main adversaries of attempting to do so. However, the automotive industry as a whole has been putting in more of an effort than most realize. For example:

  • Since 2007 the average fuel economy has gone up from 20.1 to 25.3 MPG
  • SUVs are getting smaller, resulting better MPG and less greenhouse gases
  • Recycled materials are being used more when building new models

Check out the video below to see how else the automotive industry is attempting to save our planet!

The ultimate family-friendly crossover is now available at Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins. If you’ve been waiting for the arrival of the 2016 Nissan Murano, you don’t have to wait another minute before stopping by 5811 South College Avenue in Fort Collins, CO 80525 for your test drive. But, if you’re not quite convinced, or want to do a little bit more research beforehand, we have good news! We have created a Research and Review page for the 2016 Nissan Murano that is now live on our website.

This page will go through each of the four trims and detail their standard and available features. Depending on the trim, some of these include Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Ignition, Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant, Speed-Sensing Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers, Speed-Sensitive Volume, Leather-Appointed Seats, Power Liftgate, Around View® Monitor, and Steering-Wheel Position Memory. If you’re interested in safety, this page will also tell you about every standard safety feature in the Murano, including Easy-Fill Tire Alert, Brake Assist, and Nissan Advanced Airbag System with Dual-Stage Supplemental Front Airbags. For those of you interested in the performance features, this page will also tell you about the capabilities of the 3.5L V6 Engine and Xtronic CVT® Transmission.

Once you’ve read up on all the facts and features, stop by for your test drive.

If you’ve ever driven a 2016 Nissan LEAF®, you probably already know it is the life of the party. Now, the LEAF is taking that compliment literally, by supplying power to an entire powerless block party. Nissan demonstrated the “Vehicle to Home” capability of the LEAF at Kensington Presents, a donation-based outdoor music and food festival.

The Nissan LEAF® was able to power this event through the DC Quickcharge Port, which takes the 360 volt lithium ion battery voltage and converts it to 100 volts of AC power through the internal inverter. This technology could eventually be used to power homes, or even an entire building using a fleet of Nissan LEAFs.

In the past few years, Nissan has seen its customer base in the United States continue to grow as they release stylish, innovative, and affordable vehicles. This is especially evident after their record-breaking sales year in 2015, selling 1,484,918 vehicles last year. Due to this growing success, Nissan has made a decision to invest even further in their U.S. operations, including ramping up production of their best-selling vehicles such as the Altima, Sentra, Pathfinder, Maxima, Rogue, Murano, LEAF, Versa, and the next-generation of the TITAN.

There are over 22,000 Nissan employees across the United States, working everywhere from Nissan North America Corporate Headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee to Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Canton, Mississippi and totaling a payroll of $1.1 billion. Many people are not aware of this, but almost 80 percent of Nissan vehicles are built right here in the United States.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to do a completely different job just for a day? Nissan UK is making that happen through their “dream job swap.” As Manchester United City Football Club’s official automotive sponsor, they organized this swap so that four top players on Manchester United and four top GT Academy drivers could trade places and step into one another’s shoes (or driver’s seat) for the day.

“Through our partnership with Manchester City Football Club, we’ve been able to bring to life some of the ultimate passions of our fans – football and driving,” said Nissan marketing director Chris Marsh. “Being able to make some of the country’s most celebrated talent accessible to our fans through this activity is what makes this partnership so exciting. Seeing the reaction from the players and drivers experiencing the dream job swap has been fantastic and we hope to get a similar reaction from viewers!”

This idea was inspired by a study commissioned by Nissan that concluded that almost a third of 9-13-year-olds believed racecar drivers and soccer plays had the most exciting careers. They decided to put this study to the test, and recruited brothers Fernando and Eliaquim Mangala, Bacary Sagna, and David Silva to hit the track in a 218 PS Juke NISMO RS.

The 2016 Nissan Sentra has earned a Top Safety Pick Plus Rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when it is equipped with the optional Forward Emergency Braking technology. This technology is included with the optional Technology Package that is available on the 2016 Nissan Sentra SR and SL models.

In order to earn the Top Safety Pick Plus rating the Forward Emergency Braking system had to earn an “advanced’ or “superior” rating and the vehicle itself needed to earn a rating of “good” or better in all five of the IIHS crash tests.

“Nissan is proud to have another of our core vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). “Nissan has the safety and security of Nissan vehicle owners and their passengers as its top priority, so we are glad to see our long-term investment in safety showing results in these latest IIHS tests.”

The 2016 Nissan Sentra is available here at Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins so stop by to take this all-new model out for a test drive if you live in or around Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont, Loveland, CO; or Cheyenne, WY.
