    Rumorpile: Nissan To Debut U.S. Spec Qashqai At Detroit

      Another crossover could be joining Nissan's lineup

    Another crossover could be joining Nissan's U.S. lineup. The Truth About Cars has learned from sources that Nissan will be debuting the Qashqai at the Detroit Auto Show next month. The Qashqai has been sold in Europe since 2007 and has become the brand's best-selling model.

    The Qashqai will sit below the Rogue in Nissan's lineup. In terms of measurements, the Qashqai is 10 inches shorter in overall length and rides on a wheelbase that is 2.3 inches shorter than the Rogue. No mention of a powertrain, but we assume that Nissan's xTronic CVT and the choice of front-wheel and all-wheel drive will be available.

    The model could be released in late 2017 as a 2018 model.

    They could have been in front of this craze with this car, but it took them a while and now they are playing catch up.

    Juke - Qashqai - Rogue - Murano - Pathfinder - Armada

    That's a pretty complete lineup....

    So it's Juke's less... flamboyant brother.  I was looking at Rogues and thinking they're noticeably bigger than they used to be, so the Cashcow should find a definite niche.

    There's obviously a spot in the lineup. But jeez, I'm over the CUV craze.

    Pretty much like I am so over the Coupe Car craze. RIght now all cars are dogs and the whole Coupe style is so over done, they can crush them all and I would not weep a tear.

    On the SUV/CUV side, would love a new updated Trailblazer SS AWD and an EV AWD CUV to go with the BOLT / VOLT.

    Got to be a reason this is such a big seller in Europe and top rated by most testers. Should be a big hit here with singles , young families, and seniors. Will be one of the best looking in class. Hope Nissan will finally have a turbo available in this and the Rouge.

    • Ahhh that makes sense. Just get things running and get the "proper" install done when you have time.  For some reason, my I completely forgot about the conventional outlets on generators (face palm) and I could only picture them running to a breaker box.
    • I got a mid-size portable one rated for 4500w. It doesn't run the whole house. It's enough to keep the downstairs fridge and freezer going, the internet up, and the phones/laptops charged.  In the wintertime it can also be used to run the furnace. We lost power for 18 hours overnight this past winter when it was 11 degrees out, so getting one that will run the furnace was on my list of requirements.  We get multi-hour outages several times a year, during the worst of covid we had a transformer blow a couple streets over and they couldn't get a replacement for days, so I think it was an overdue investment. While it does have a connection available to wire into the breaker box, my breaker box is not set up for it. So for me, it was just stringing orange extension cords under the garage door and out the living room window to plug into the unit in the driveway. We got power back for a short time at 11 p.m., then again at 3 a.m., I was able to power down the generator at 3.  Last I looked, there were still 134k without power, over 400k at the worst of it.  They're saying more bad storms tonight.
    • Yeah, I have a coworker that lives in downtown Pittsburgh and heard this morning her building has a generator but it's been on and off... 
    • These companies are playing on both sides of the party line. Ford donated more to Harris than Trump.  https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/ford-motor-co/summary?id=D000000182 Same with GM. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/general-motors/summary?id=D000000155 Toyota contributed a little more to Trump than Harris. https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/toyota-motor-north-america/C00542365/candidate-recipients/2024 Hyundai: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/hyundai-motor-co/summary?id=D000042381   This is just fascinating information to me. It's also comical how these companies are trying to play good to either party who wins. 
    • Sure, it does, as we have already seen some deals are being made that reduce the tariff compared to what it was before the latest announcements. For those that are not wanting what is on the lot currently or want something made outside the U.S., it totally makes sense that they would hold off and keep driving their older auto.
