Nissan’s Concept Car Gives Insight On Latest Altima

Nissan’s Concept Car

Auto Shows exist to give the public a preview of features to come in new cars that will be released soon at all dealerships, including Monterey auto dealers. The most direct way to preview a car is with a full working prototype, but this happens so late in the design process that other methods are preferred. The best method is with a concept car, which has all the design and technology features, but isn’t totally refined. Nissan’s latest Vmotion 3.0 concept car offers a look at upcoming sedan changes, and you will soon be able to test drive them for yourself at Cardinale Nissan.

–

The Detroit Auto Show was held earlier this year, and Nissan proudly displayed their Vmotion 2.0 concept car. It had a stylish design that featured more prominent edges, along with several upgrades to existing technology. This model was the first to incorporate Nissan’s ProPilot system, which allows for easy and autonomous travel on both highways and country roads. Look for this feature to roll out soon on the 2018 Nissan Leaf.

–

The #Vmotion 3.0 model that was recently unveiled builds upon the successes of the 2.0 design. This version has been modified to be fully electric to reduce emissions, and has several other efficiency changes. A flat battery was installed and replaced the large engine, allowing for a flat floor to be implemented. Some of the rougher edges of the 2.0 model have also been rounded out for a sleeker look, which will likely appear on the 2018 Nissan Altima.

–

Vehicles are constantly evolving, and these concept cars offer a first look at the future of driving. To test drive any of these models or see all the latest features they offer visit Cardinale Nissan in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

See All The Incredible Stops On Monterey’s 17-Mile Drive In Your Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cars have many uses beyond just getting us from place to place. Sure, it’s important to have a car that will reliably drive you to work each morning and enough room for all the sports equipment that the kids need, but there are plenty of exciting adventures you can embark on in a Nissan. From exploring nature with an off-road equipped Nissan Titan to taking a road trip with some good friends, it’s easy to spend an afternoon in the comfort of your own car. At #CardinaleNissan, one of our favorite places to enjoy is 17-Mile Drive, Monterey’s scenic route on the California coast.

–

Scenic Locations

17-Mile Drive was described as one of America’s Most Scenic Drives by Travel + Leisure magazine. It winds down the open and beautiful coastline this county has, passing by iconic golf courses like Pebble Beach and gorgeous overlooks. At Huckleberry Hill you can view the ocean as it is framed by the Monterey Pines forest, and The Restless Sea stop provides an amazing view of the turbulent Pacific waves. Along the way you can also stop at several beaches that animals call home, including sea lions, otters and many species of birds.

–

Famous Stops

While nature accounts for many of the best stops on the route, there are several man-made locations that shouldn’t be missed. The Pebble Beach Golf Course is open to the public for putting and a tour of the incredible clubhouse. Afterward, be sure to head over to the Tap Room, a dedicated golf pub that is filled with historic memorabilia from the five U.S. Opens that have been held over the years at Pebble Beach. There are also a number of boardwalks along the way with different shops and entertainers.

The most important part of any journey on the 17-Mile Drive though is the car you experience it in, so head to Cardinale Nissan to browse our new models like the 2017 Nissan Altima. Come see why we are the best Monterey car dealership, or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Enhance Your Next Camping Experience With The Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

By

Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

Lately, car manufacturers have been dedicating resources to producing off-road vehicles. A little adventure is fun, and with new trucks like the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and the Ford F-150 Raptor, it’s easier than ever to head onto the dirt trails. Nissan recently unveiled their latest off-road specialist, a modified Titan that offers a whole suite of outdoor features, such as off road tires and expanded storage capabilities. To experience the epic number of new features and upgrades this truck has, visit a #Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan.

–

The new Titan Pro-4X is aimed at making camping or spending the night off-road an easier task for both beginners and experts. The 5.0-liter Cummins V8 provides the extra low-end torque that is necessary for crawling over rocks and other debris you might encounter. The tires have also been specialized by making them larger and thicker to provide better traction and grip on dangerous surfaces. Front and rear bumpers protects the car from getting damaged while traversing natural terrain, and rock sliders have been added to protect the bottom of the car from larger rocks.

–

Several pieces of equipment have also been integrated into the design to make packing easier. A Leitner Designs Overland bed cage and Rhino Pioneer Rack provide extra storage and a sturdy base for a CVT Stargazer Tent. This luxurious tent easily folds out from the top of the truck and even has an easy access ladder. The Titan Pro-4X has been appropriately nicknamed “Project Basecamp,” as it acts as a perfect base of operations.

–

Cardinale Nissan is the only Monterey auto dealer where you can experience the versatility and sheer number of features that Project Basecamp offers. Whether you are looking for a sedan like the Nissan Altima or a truck like the Nissan Titan, you can browse all our new and used models at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Versatile Nissan Rogue Will Is Fit For Any Driver

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2017 was a huge year for the Nissan Rogue, as its yearly update brought substantial changes. Nissan created a perfect blend of sport, safety and style that when combined with its fuel economy and price has made it Nissan’s best selling model. To experience all these new features and customization options at a Monterey car dealership, head down to #CardinaleNissan.

–

The introduction of a hybrid engine option was the most anticipated change for the Nissan #Rogue this year. The 2.0 L engine provides a substantial amount of power and acceleration, but also sports an EPA estimated 33 mpg, so you can avoid the summer gas price hikes. The Rogue’s immense popularity has caused Nissan to introduce several special editions of the car. The Nissan Rogue Sport is smaller and more affordable, while still offering many of the same features, and the heavily requested Midnight edition includes a full black redesign.

–

One of the more overlooked but vitally important updates the Rogue received was the addition of several premium safety technologies. Features like a Blind Spot Monitor notifies you if a car passes through the area when you are about to change lanes, while the Forward Emergency Brake can avoid impending collisions. The Lane Departure Warnings prevent the driver from swaying out into busy traffic, and improved traction control makes wet and uneven roads easy to handle.

–

The best way to see why the Nissan Rogue rapidly became Nissan’s best selling car is to hop behind the wheel and take a test drive for yourself at Cardinale Nissan. You will also find great deals on all our new and used models like the Nissan Altima, so head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.

Burger Places in Seaside

The summer months are almost here, and with it comes a whole heap of new activities and adventures for both kids and adults. The Monterey Bay Aquarium will be all set to receive visits from the newly liberated students, and beaches are getting ready for some fun in the sun. The activity is just the first step in a weekend outing though; you need a good place to eat after. The summertime is perfect for grabbing a nice burger and basket of fries, but which restaurant should you choose? Here are some of Cardinale Nissan’s favorite burger joints to visit around the county.

–

American Burger

You don’t have to go to a fancy steakhouse to find a great burger, and this small shop is located right in the middle of a mini strip mall. It may seem a bit strange at first, but this inconspicuous burger joint servez up some of the best homemade burgers at fantastic prices. The food is out of this world, and you can enjoy checkerboards and an expansive record collection while you wait for your food. #AmericanBurger also serves a killer grilled cheese, and you can cool off with one of their signature shakes after a long day out in the sun.

–

RG Burgers

If you are in the mood for some truly unique burgers, head over to RG Burgers down on Munras Avenue. They not only have several meats to choose from, including beef, turkey and bison, but they also offer a number of specialty burgers that will really knock your socks off. The Pastrami Burger creates a heavenly combination of these two meats, and the pineapple on the Hawaiian Burger is the perfect bit of added flavor. They also make gourmet hot dogs and specialty salads if you want to eat a little bit healthier.

These restaurants offer a wide selection of burgers, but to get the best selection of new and used cars Monterey can offer head down to Cardinale Nissan. From the all-new 2017 Nissan Altima to a powerful Nissan Titan, you can find a car that fits your lifestyle at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Develops New Solution To Distracted Driving

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving due to smartphones is a dangerous and worrying trend among drivers today. Traffic on busy roads or on a highway can change in the blink of an eye, and it can be hazardous to look away for even a second. At Nissan, we are committed to finding solutions to safety problems, so be on the lookout for the Signal Shield at Cardinale Nissan, your Monterey car dealership.

–

The Signal Shield is an experimental new approach at preventing distracted driving by temporarily preventing the phone from connecting to the outside world. This small box clips onto the driver’s armrest and blocks the phone inside from getting or sending any WiFi, Bluetooth or phone signals. Nissan is hoping this will remove the urge to constantly be glancing down looking for new notifications or text messages. Drivers will still be able to use the media functions though, thanks to a small hole which provides just enough room for an auxiliary cable.

–

A Signal Shield box is essentially a miniature Faraday cage, which blocks whatever is inside from receiving any outside #signals. Many states already discourage distracted driving by making cell phone usage illegal while driving, and Nissan is hoping this device can help avoid any other unnecessary cases of distracted driving. When describing the development of the Signal Shield, a Nissan spokesman stated that, “Nissan is always looking at new ways of improving the safety and well-being of our customers.”

–

If you are looking for exceptional safety standards, you can’t go wrong with a new or used car from Cardinale Nissan. From the brand new Nissan Altima to the redesigned Nissan Leaf, it’s easy to save money at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Visit Homes Of Famous Authors Around Monterey – Steinbeck House

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Steinbeck House

Monterey county is home to many historic locations and residences, many of which have been called “home” by famous people. The beautiful scenery of the bountiful valley has inspired several writers, who have described everything from the hard-working locals to the glistening sea. At Cardinale Nissan, we are proud to be a part of this community that has fostered such incredible works of art. Here are some of our favorite historic homes in Monterey, which you can easily get to in a new or used Nissan Altima.

–

Cannery Row

John Steinbeck is one of America’s best known authors, and has received critical acclaim for his fictional stories of life in the West. He was born about 30 miles from #CanneryRow, and spent most of his life in Pacific Grove. Here he gathered writing material for his novels by observing the fish packing plant and the surrounding bordellos and flophouses, and immortalized this street in his fittingly named book, Cannery Row. He also made friends with Ed Ricketts, a marine biologist at the Biological Laboratory and primary inspiration for the character “Doc.” Cannery Row largely consists of museums today, and you can learn more about the historical plant and its operations on a guided tour.

–

Stevenson House

The Stevenson House was named for legendary author Robert Louis Stevenson, who stayed in this shelter in 1878. This two-story home acted as a refuge for families, artists and workers back in the Mexican era, and it was here that Stevenson met his future wife. During his stay, he also penned one of his early works, Old Pacific Capital, and nowadays the Robert Louis Stevenson Club of Monterey keeps this old home open for tours.

There are plenty of Monterey car dealerships, but the only place to find exceptional deals on both new and used Nissan models is Cardinale Nissan. Our unbeatable prices and focus on customer satisfaction means buying a car from us is easy, so visit us in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

See Nature Up Close At These Monterey State Parks

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the greatest reasons to live in a California county like Monterey is the staggering amount of nature and beauty that surrounds us. From twisted Monterey Pines to playful otters, everything is filled with life in the parks and natural sanctuaries you can find nearby. Whether you enjoy playing the water at the sandy beaches or pushing yourself on a long nature hike, the sheer variety and number of activities means there is something for everyone at these parks. At Cardinale Nissan, our incredible selection means we also have a car to meet everyone’s needs, and these are some of our favorite parks to drive them to.

–

Monterey State Historic Park

While it’s not as much of a nature park as many of the others we have in Monterey, the State Historic Park provides at the oldest buildings still standing in the county. The Path of History is open to the public at any time, and it includes 55 various houses and locations of historical significance, including the Custom House, the oldest building in the state. There are also several adobes that you can enjoy a tour of with the help of a State Park Guide, who will be happy to help you relive the lives of the earliest Monterey citizens.

–

Salinas River Wildlife Refuge

For a more traditional park that focuses on nature and the creatures that inhabit it, the Salinas River Refuge offers a perfect view of both. The Beach Trail begins at the parking lot and circles around to the ocean, and is an easy walk at only 1.6 miles. Along the way you may get a glimpse of birds or other small wildlife enjoying the dunes, and down at the waterfront there are almost always otters playing in the ocean.

Our Monterey car dealership offers an incredible lineup of new and used Nissans that is also a sight to see. From the 2017 Nissan Altima to the legendary Nissan Rogue, it’s easy to find a car to love in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Looks To Expand NISMO Lineup In 2017

By
Posted in Uncategorized

NISMO Lineup In 2017

Customer satisfaction will always be our number one priority at Cardinale Nissan. This year, Nissan has committed to expanding its global lineup significantly in order to offer more options to its customers, including its number of NISMO models. Though the NISMO brand may be niche, it has an extremely dedicated fan base that enjoy the added performance and style. This year, be on the lookout for double the number of NISMO models at Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey car dealership.

–

The Nissan 370Z and Nissan GT-R are two of the most well-known NISMO performance cars, but mostly only appeal to sports car fans. Nissan is now focusing on developing NISMO versions of more popular and mainstream cars like the Juke and Versa. The Juke still has its stylish design and Color Studio customization options, but now sports a more powerful engine, an upgraded suspension system and more fluid handling. The NISMO Vera was the first #NISMO sedan and is also the most affordable model, offering a perfect blend of affordability and performance.

–

Nissan has also hinted at extending their NISMO options even further to crossovers and vans. The Nissan Quest is a safe and reliable family car, and a NISMO upgrade would make it even more fun to pilot. The Nissan Rogue hybrid and Nissan Altima are also major candidates for a performance boost thanks to their popularity and fuel efficiency. Trucks are also on NISMO’s to-do list, including the Nissan Pathfinder and Titan.

–

The best part of owning a NISMO is the driving experience, so head over to Cardinale Nissan for a test drive in any of our new or used cars. No matter what kind of car you are in the market for, be sure to stop by our website at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Experience The Beauty That Lies Off-Road In Any Nissan Car

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With all the nature and scenic sites around Monterey, being able to head off-road in your car opens up numerous opportunities. Going off-road lets you escape the busy city traffic and spend some quality time with friends and family while surrounded by beauty. Contrary to popular belief though, you don’t need a rugged ATV or heavy duty truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to tackle the rough roads, and at Cardinale Nissan we can help you transform your car into the ultimate off-road machine.

–

The tires on your Nissan make the biggest difference when traversing uneven terrain. They will be under much more stress on rocky ground, and four all-terrain tires will make the ride safer and smoother. Try to find a tire with a tread that is well suited for gripping loose surfaces and has a wide sidewall. If your car generally uses smaller tires, a wide sidewall will help maintain balance and grip the road better. Another major benefit of #all-terrain tires is their enhanced resistance to punctures from sharp rocks and surfaces you might encounter.

–

Because getting car service is much more difficult while off-road, it is important get your car inspected for any potential problems before heading out on a longer trip. Our service department at Cardinale Nissan can make sure your car is running at maximum efficiency, as well as see if any fluids need replacing. We will also check that your all-terrain tires are properly rotated and aligned to reduce any added strain.

–

If you have any other concerns about your Nissan Altima or other Nissan model, be sure to visit our service professionals at Cardinale Nissan. You can easily schedule Nissan car service online as well as browse our entire inventory at www.cardinalenissan.com.
