Nissan Delivers Stylish Fun with Altima Coupe
Test Drive: Nissan delivers stylish fun with Altima coupe Even though front-wheel-drive coupes aren't big sellers, Nissan took the financial risk to develop a sleek, two-door version of the redesigned 2008 Altima sedan and came up with a terrific mainstream coupe. Its stylish silhouette rivals the beauty of Nissan's Infiniti G35 luxury coupe (Test Drive, March 15). That might annoy those who paid twice as much for the Infiniti, but surely will appeal to those who want much of the G's visual cachet for considerably less money. "Every body panel is different from the (Altima) sedan, except the hood. The investment was significant," says John Curl,. an Altima product manager. "We didn't want to just build a two-door sedan." Power delivery in the V-6, regular-production test car was delightful. Nissan seems to have proprietary voodoo it works on CVTs (continuously variable automatic transmissions) to keep them from feeling like a manual transmission with a slipping clutch, as some rival CVTs do. Nail the throttle and there's a definite, solid downshift to a lower gear ratio for fast acceleration. No brutal revving of the engine without commensurate leap of the vehicle. Whatever Nissan does to the pulleys-and-belt CVT elevates it to the level of pleasing, appealing and satisfying. Handling of the loaded, $31,980 test car was sufficient for most drivers most of the time. The coupe's suspension is tuned differently than the sedan's, giving the two-door a crisper driving feel, which is an accomplishment because the Altima sedan feels pretty crisp and agile and sporty. -

Jensen GT De Laatste Der Mohicanen
Publicatiedatum: 12 september 2002 www.autozine.nl Jensen GT De laatste der Mohicanen Autotest | De samenwerking tussen de legendarische Donald Healey en de firma Jensen bezorgde deze laatste de hoogste productie-aantallen uit de geschiedenis van het merk. De Jensen-Healey cabriolet zou tussen 1972 en 1976 in z'n eentje beter verkopen, dan alle Jensens in de daaraan voorafgaande jaren bij elkaar. En als toetje kwam daar dan in 1975 ook nog eens de Jensen GT bij, waarvan er zo'n 500 de fabriek zouden verlaten. Maar zoals u weet, na het toetje is de maaltijd voorbij. En zo ging het ook met Jensen; in 1976 was de vraag naar Jensens zo ver terug gelopen, dat het bedrijf werd opgeheven. De firma van de gebroeders Allan en Richard Jensen, 541 te vinden zou zijn. Dit was overigens dezelfde Jensen Motors, werd in 1934 opgericht.

DSM became a result of the lasting past relationship between Mitsubishi and Chrysler that dated back to 1970 when Mitsubishi was able to sell their first products in the United States through Chrysler. DSM became a 50/50 joint venture between both companies, splitting both investment and profits equally. The facility was described as representing the best in Japanese and American plant technology to help produce high class automobiles. DSM also helped provide almost three thousand jobs in production and management Potential employees had to compelte a three month training program before beginning work. Mitsubishi and Chrysler choose Bloomington-Normal area due to the to multiple interstate highways and along with easy access to railroads and air transport. DSM started to produce three new kinds of vehicles: the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Plymouth Laser, and the Eagle Talon during its first few years and the 100,000th car rolled off the line on January 22, 1990. In 1991, Mitsubishi took sole ownership of the plant by purchasing Chrysler’s interest. By 1995, Mitsubishi had renamed DSM to Mitsubishi Motors Manufacturing of America (MMMA) reflecting Mitsubishi's total ownership. -
