First Drive: 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo - Automobile Magazine
Nismo goes mainstream.

Nissan's Nismo brand is going mainstream, and the firm has chosen the Juke as the first model to wear the badge as a high-volume series production model. Positioning the Juke as a standard bearer for its Nismo brand may seem uncomfortable to some - and downright sacrilegious to others - but it makes commercial sense. The company is seeking volume with Nismo, and the Juke represents an inexpensive way to hook a maturing, brand-aware, virtual audience who are maturing into real-car-buying potential customers.

2012 Volkswagen Passat SE TDI - At Last, We Finally Add AdBlue
2012 Volkswagen Passat SE TDI - Four Seasons Update - January 2013 - Automobile Magazine
Our stalwart Passat heads in for its 20,000-mile service.

Our Four Seasons Passat TDI's round-trip to the East Coast took a toll on its odometer. Before heading to the Empire State, we'd only racked up a little more than 16,000 miles. Upon its return, we'd managed to push that just shy of the 20,000-mile mark, meaning it was once again time to visit our dealer for scheduled maintenance.
