   We all love Nissan, don't we?  Well they may just get the best of Ford. They are said to stop the production of Ford compact and semi-compact trucks, supposedly creating a gate for Nissan to take over the truck industry. Who knows, it may happen. Ford is starting to aim towards fuel economical cars, putting this debate to a possible maybe.
   In this week, I have been looking at this website. These group of elite engineers and mechanics have been modifying with cars, such as a Honda Civic Si, boosting it up nearly four-times the original horsepower. They announced this on their website on the fifth of January, 2012. They want to transfer the powertrain from the world renowned, Nissan GT-R, which has a staggering 478 horsepower and 434 ft/lb of torque, creating a top speed of 202 MPH, to the Nissan Juke. Think of how this would do in a car that weighs nearly HALF the weight of the GT-R. Anyways, Fox was said to be working with Nissan trying to release this car as the Juke-S model. Maybe they will agree, maybe not.
   During the debate of the Juke-S, Nissan was also working on a deal with Mercedes-Benz. They want Nissan to produce four-cylinder engines for them. They are willing to pay, and Nissan wants the money. You may be asking, "Why is Mercedes wanting to work with Nissan?" Simple, Nissan can create engines for cheap, making it a win-win situation for both of the car manufacturer. They will both make money, as Nissan will make nearly $2,500, Mercedes will be making around $14,000 for the complete car.
   In the final debate of the day, this includes the British show, Top Gear. They had taken a challenge to run on the world's most amazing road in a Ferrari California, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and an Aston Martin DBS. They thought it would be a straight out brawl through there, but they ended up sleeping in the car. Which car was the best? Personally, the Ferrari seemed to be the most comfortable, with the driver getting nearly five hours of sleep. In the morning, they noticed they were sleeping in Hoover Dam. In shock, they took off. The Lamborghini was in the lead, around two seconds ahead. They then were coming around turn five, when the Lamborghini hit a car. He was delayed about 1 hour. He ran up to the hotel they were meeting at and began to begin working on the car. He successfully showed Lamborghini is a good brand, and reliable.
