Nissan is promoting the Leaf electric car by going to the last place you would see one, a gas station. Actually, Nissan is going to multiple gas stations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, and the promotion involves giving people free gasoline. Nissan will "take over" gas stations and give away gasoline to people that come. The company will also have a Leaf on display. Isn't it an unusual marketing move? It seems the idea is to give people a sense of what it's like to not pay to keep your car fueled, which would be the case if they were driving a Leaf. For ...
Turning the latest generation of the production Toyota Camry into the NASCAR racing version required even more than the usual feats of styling and engineering that went into past transformations. First, the racer hit the track before the production car's launch (the 2018 Camry reaches showrooms this summer), so an extra layer of secrecy was added to the project. Both were unveiled in January at the Detroit Auto Show. Next, Toyota wants to get as much NASCAR bang for its buck. The brand is looking to take advantage of its racing sponsorships to highlight its move toward more spor...
What else interesting happened in the U.S. car industry aside from the Tesla being the leader in the electric car sales, and the big three carmakers revealing low car sales?

On the flip side, it’s quite impressive to me that Nissan logged 1,478 sales of the LEAF. With the Bolt here (even if in limited supply) and the...

The California Air Resources Board voted unanimously to move ahead with progressively stricter tailpipe emissions regulations, along with a separate mandate that requires automakers to sell more zero-emissions vehicles. The vote on greenhouse gas restrictions suggests a potentially bruising legal battle with the White House could be coming. Trump last week ordered the U.S. E...
We’re coming with yet another good question for you and an answer on it. Could someday third-party shopping sites become platforms for car purchasing? Dealership groups embrace the concept of consumers buying vehicles online. Some used shopping portals from tech companies have developed their buying sites in-house. Meanwhile, third-party stalwarts are considering a future where they could go beyond their current roles as inventory hubs and gateways to dealership sites. This evolution would allow consumers to browse listings, settle on vehicles and then close deals using buying...
