Nissan Reviews
While Nissan is, today, one of the world's biggest automobile manufacturers, the path to success has not always been easy — or particularly straightforward — for the Japanese badge. Founded in 1911 as Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works, the company has since been through many incarnations — including a stint making machinery for the Japanese forces during World War II — before finally becoming the Nissan that we now know. Since partnering with European giant Renault in 1999, Nissan has increasingly become a worldwide presence, attracting customers in North America and Europe with its affordable, quality vehicles. However, no longer just a builder of econoboxes, Nissan has in recent decades made inroads into the luxury and alternative fuel markets with its upscale Infiniti brand and the innovative Nissan Leaf — the world's first mass-produced all-electric car. |
