My travel and related consideration was provided by the Chicago Auto Show; their media fly-in program is sponsored by Nissan.
During the special media preview of the Chicago Auto Show, I attended a press conference from Nissan where they debuted two new vehicles:
This is the 2015 Versa Note, which will become available for purchase this spring.
This is the Frontier Diesel Runner Powered by Cummins, an awesome-looking mid-size pickup truck that has a diesel engine. Nissan is going to be looking to the market to see what their customers think of a diesel pickup truck for their needs.
These new models, plus a variety of other Nissan innovations, are on display at The Chicago Auto Show – today is your last chance to check it out, so make sure to drop by if you’re in the area!
Nissan also hosted a special party the night before the media preview, as a way to welcome us to Chicago. We ate some yummy snacks from the slider bar and taco bar, and drank a few beers from the beer van. Yes, you heard me: Nissan had a special van on display inside the building that had beer taps fitted on the side!
These two not only recommended an awesome beer for me to try, but volunteered to pose for my photo. Two thumbs up!
I’ve never actually driven a Nissan before, but it looks like they have some really nice cars out these days!
We didn’t make it up to the Chicago Auto Show this year… I didn’t want to commit to a trip then be overwhelmed by the weather and not make it. (Although my trip would have been on my own with family as opposed to a totally cool fly-in trip from Nissan!)
Love the beer van. LOL
That is a slick looking car!
Those are some awesome cars. I really like the looks of them.
I’ve never owned a foreign car, but I think our next one might be. And, I’ve only heard good things about Nissan….so maybe, just maybe!
Pamela and I have a habit of visiting the annual car show when it appears in Phoenix Thanksgiving weekend. This past Thanksgiving was the first time we missed it in years. This Nissan, and all the others, are on display for people to ooohh and ahhh, and no selling is ever done. I know these shows are great for everyone, especially a consumer who has never considered a different car. I’m glad you like this one. Is it made in America?
I Love Nissan Sharp Looking Car, Glad You Enjoyed Yourself!!
I’ve never owned or driven a Nissan, but I’d love to learn more. My Honda is getting up there in years!
I’ve never driven a Nissan but I love some of those cars. They are rolling out some beautiful cars this year!
This looks like a lot of fun, my kids would love it! I love Nissans.
love all the electric cars and options coming down the pike!! Nissan makes great vehicles.
I’ve never owned an Nissan before. Those are some really nice rides.
I want the truck! It looks awesome. And being diesel it would get good gas mileage. And I could drive it through big mud puddles!
So cool to see the innovative new line-up of cars. I would love to update mine one day with something like one of these!
Oooh, I am loving the little blue car. I love that paint color!
These are beautiful cars! I’d love to have one. Looks like lots of fun!
I don’t think I’ve ever even been in a Nissan before, but these look really nice!
very nice, what a fun experience to get to see the latest and new models!
Looks like you had an amazing time!!!
My son just got hired for the Nissan plant here in town! I love the Frontier Diesel Runner!
Gosh I am loving all these pictures… we were never able to make it out there.
I love the way the Versas look. The pictures are great and it looked like y’all had tons of fun!
Love these cars! We’re almost ready to buy a new one….must check these out closer 🙂
It would be so cool to be there to check it all out.
