Recently the automaker unveiled its next-gen global compact sedan at the Beijing International Auto Show, and Norris Nissan West , serving Baltimore , is here to give you the…

For some people, more truck isn't always better. We love the Nissan Titan, but it's not best option when you are in the market for a compact pickup, like the Nissan Frontier.

Nissan has released one obscure teaser image to date.  Having spent a fair amount of time scrutinizing the shadowy image, Norris Nissan West can say the next-gen Nissan Pathfinder appears to be sculpted in such a way that makes the SUV look like it's speeding…

In 1992, a small Japanese sedan came to Baltimore thanks to Norris Nissan West. 20 years later, and with 3.6 million units sold, this car is one of the top selling vehicles in its class. The 20th anniversary of Nissan Altima is here.

For people that are tall and need that extra legroom to feel comfortable in a vehicle, Nissan has the perfect compact. Sure, typically compacts have earned a bad rap for being super cramped, causing people to crook their neck and sit with their legs crossed just to get into a car, but Nissan has never been one for fitting the mold. As such, they've created compact with an interior that's so spacious it…

The Nissan LEAF isn't even available nationwide yet, and already the vehicle has won enough awards and accolades to fill a trophy case. Not only has it been named 2011 World Car of the Year and 2011 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK.

Australian Nissan fans will be excited about the new GT-R Spec R variant. The new model will receive some pretty powerful enhancements in the land down under. Added features will include more a powerful suspension, combined with even more horsepower. But the question remains, will we ever see this model at Norris Nissan West in Ellicott City?

The 2012 Nissan Versa is known for being one of the most attractive cars available to frugal drivers who value fuel efficiency. The Versa offers greater comfort and cabin space than you might initially expect and it has more room than many other cars competing in the subcompact segment (i.e., the Aveo, Fiesta, Fit, forthcoming Sonic, and Yaris). It also offers one of the lowest overall ownership costs of any car available.

New car sales for 2011 are expected to increase six percent compared to last year. This would beat the record set in 2007, before sales dropped in 2008 and 2009. Unfortunately, unrest in Egypt and the Middle East has the oil market on edge, and the fear of higher oil prices directly affects car buyers and how they spend their money.
