Nissan Debuts Rogue Warrior Prototype In Canada
Nissan knows that the weather can be rough in the winter and that driving through snow can be a hassle. In order to help combat the elements, Nissan has developed a new prototype called the Rogue Warrior. This vehicle has been designed to easily power through the snow thanks to snow tracks that have been installed in place of tires. Recently, the brand debuted this new prototype at the 2016 Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) where it will be on display until the end of this weekend.
In addition to the display at MIAS, the brand has also released a new 90-second spot that shows off this impressive model in action and also features 2015 Nissan Micra Cup Champion and 2015 Gilles-Villeneuve Trophy recipient, Olivier Bédard. In the spot, we see a group of skiers waiting in a long line for their turn to catch a ride in the ski lift. Bédard notices the backup and decides to take matters into his own hands and leaves, only to return with the Rogue Warrior. With these custom snow tracks, this model is able to easily plow through more than a foot of snow to reach the group of skiers and haul them up to the top of the mountain so that they can enjoy their day instead of standing in line.
“In the automotive industry, it’s the norm to develop a prototype and show it to the world through photos or a static auto show display, but with the Rogue Warrior – we had to do something more,” says Steve Rhind, director of marketing at Nissan Canada. “When the all-wheel drive system on the Rogue and Nissan’s advanced Xtronic transmission are matched with snow tracks, it results in something spectacular – a Rogue capable of overcoming severe, off-road winter conditions. This video shows an entertaining side of our brand’s persona, and does justice to the extreme capabilities of the Rogue Warrior – an idea developed and executed entirely in Canada.”
Check out the spot in the video below to see some of what this model is capable of.

Two years ago, at the 2014 Sao Paulo Motor Show, Nissan introduced its newest concept vehicle, the Kicks Concept Car, an innovative and stylish new crossover model. Now, the brand has announced that they plan to release a production version of this concept car beginning later this year, starting with an initial release in the Latin American markets. Nissan Design America (NDA) and Nissan’s Global Design Center in Japan worked together to collaborate on the concept model and they will be teaming up again for the production version.
“Nissan intended the first crossover in 2003, with the Murano,” said Carlos Ghosn, president and chief executive officer of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. “Since then, we’ve established our global crossover leadership with vehicles like JUKE, Qashqai and X-Trail – which have been great successes. The Kicks will bring Nissan´s unique Crossover expertise to more regions.”
Check out the video below to hear more about this model from Ghosn.

2016 Nissan Altima Featured In New Advertisement
The 2016 Nissan Altima has been designed for those who like to stand out from the crowd. The type of people who like to dance like no one else is watching and who enjoy getting caught in the rain. This concept is the theme of the new advertisement that the brand has released featuring this all-new vehicle.
Throughout the spot we see a young man and woman who catch each other’s eye as the pass each other in their 2016 Altimas. Then, through a series of flashbacks we see that both individuals have always taken joy in standing out throughout their life and that there have been multiple instances where they stood out to each other from afar. Even so, the pair had never actually met, before now.
Check out this new spot in the video below and then head on over to Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins to learn more about the 2016 Nissan Altima. We have this vehicle available here at our dealership where we serve customers from Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont, and Loveland, CO.

Nissan GT-R Helps To Undecorate Your Tree
The only thing worse than the holidays being over is having to clean up all of the countless holiday decorations that have been placed all throughout your home. One such task includes completely undecorating the tree and putting away all of the ornaments, lights, and garland that have been adorned on the tree this year. Then, of course, you either need to dismantle and put away the tree for next year or haul it out to the curb depending on if you opt for real or artificial.
For this year, Nissan decided to offer a humorous alternative that GT-R enthusiasts and those who hate tedious holiday aftermath are sure to love. In the video one man ties the end of his string of lights to the back of a Nissan GT-R and hits the acceleration. the lights then unwind causing the tree to spin around taking off all the lights and ornaments.
This method definitely proves to be a fun time saver but unless you have shatterproof ornaments than it might not be the best way to complete this task. Nonetheless, it makes for a unique experience and it is most definitely fun to watch in action. Check out the video above to see for yourself.
Happy Holidays!
Everyone here at Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins is excited to wish a very Happy Holiday to each one of our valued customers! Once you have finished exchanging gifts with friends and family we hope that you will remember visit us here again real soon!
