From Motor Ward – Nissan gets right down to business with the new NV Commercial Van and brings two food truck concepts based on that car to the L.A. Autoshow.

They have teamed up with The Grilled Cheese and Coolhaus for the two NV2500 High Roof food truck concepts. They are not just for show of course, and will be providing grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream sandwiches to media attending the Los Angeles Auto Show.

That’s why they’ve been fitted with custom fold-out serving windows, work counters and full exterior graphics.

If you are wondering abut the menu, the Grilled Cheese truck offers “Plain and Simple Melts” and “Cheesy Mac and Rib” to “Bayou Melts” and “Dessert Melts.” The Coolhaus offers handmade, uniquely flavored gourmet ice cream sandwiches with edible wrappers. The selection includes innovative flavors such as Strawberry Jalapeno, Wasabi, Mango Sticky Rice and Olive Oil with Rosemary.

Even if you are not interested in cars, visit the L.A. show just for the food!

The Nissan NV is offered in three well-equipped models: NV1500, NV2500 HD, NV3500 HD and with a choice of two powerful yet fuel-efficient engines – a 4.0-liter V6 and 5.6-liter V8. Both are mated to a standard 5-speed automatic transmission.

2011 Nissan Armada is America's Best-Loved Large Crossover/SUV

The large crossover/SUV field in the automotive business gets more and more competitive  everyday.

So for a vehicle to rank above all the rest is really quite impressive, and the vehicle at the top of the mountain for 2011 is none other than the 2011 Nissan Armada.

The Armada beat out the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Ford Expedition in the large crossover/SUV class in J.D. Power and Associates’ latest poll. The poll was aiming to figure out how new American car owners felt about their purchases. Results were overwhelming, with the group getting better than expected results from those polled.

“Every new model is scored on a 1,000 point scale and this year’s average score of 781 is higher than any time since the survey was first done in 1996,” says CNN Money, the website the poll is posted on.

J.D. Power and Associates’ survey, known as the APEAL survey which by their definition, stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout, showed that people love the Armada above the rest when it comes to SUVs.

One thing important to note is that, all three top-ranked vehicles in this category are SUVs with classic truck-based engineering, not car-based crossovers.

The Nissan Armada is available at our Kelly Nissan of Beverly and Kelly Nissan of Lynnfield locations today! The people have spoken. They love the Armada, and you are sure to as well!

The 2011 Murano is a great family vehicle with lots of features to love in an SUV crossover

At our Kelly Nissan of Beverly and Kelly Nissan of Lynnfield dealerships, we have heard a lot of great things about all of our Nissan Murano models.

Don’t take it from us though. The 2011 Murano is getting recognition from all outlets, and the most recent was from the Boston Globe, who says the 2011 Murano is Family-Friendly yet, stylish and practical.

“This five-passenger crossover is fun to drive, and it’s comfortable enough to be in all day long, even with the kids,” says Globe auto reviewer Sarah Lacey. Lacey opens up the piece by comparing the 2006 Murano she used to drive, with the all-new edition.

“The 2011 Nissan Murano made me feel at home in it. There were some good changes from the 2006 I used to drive, but I was also happy with what hadn’t changed. There’s not a whole lot to improve upon with the 2011 Murano because it fits families so well.”

Kelly’s Nissan Murano offered at both our Beverly and Lynnfield dealers, comes with the great features Lacey raves about in her review, such as the 60/40-split flat-folding rear space, Bluetooth compatibility, and ample legroom for both front and rear passengers.

“The Murano’s interior caters to families, with everything within reach and well-placed.  In the front row, the seats were comfortable and heated.”

In addition to all the interior features and exterior styling, the Murano’s comes with safety features that earned the 2011 Murano four out of five stars in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s crash tests, and a top rating of Good in frontal-offset, side-impact testing from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Overall, the 2011 Murano seems to be well-suited for families and auto-aficionados alike. So why not try out the new 2011 Nissan Murano today?
