Nissan Announces Green Program 2010; Aggressive Plan Includes Clean Diesel, Fuel Efficiency, Hybrids, Plug-in Hybrids and EVs (#)

Consumer Reports Cars Blog (#)

„When we spliced in our fuel meter to measure fuel economy (every car is driven the same way, over the same routes), we found that the Aura XR manages 20 mpg overall. That Altima SE V6 is faster and gets 3 mpg more.  When we ran the cars though our avoidance maneuver on the track, the Aura's stability control was lax in reacting ...“
