Nissan recently announced pricing for the 2003 Maxima, which went into production this month. The top-of-the-line GLE with an automatic transmission received an increase of about 1.7 percent, while the GXE and SE models increased less than 1 percent. The 2003 Maxima GXE will start at $24,899 MSRP up $200 from last year. The SE also gets a $200 increase bringing the base MSRP to $25,649. The GLE's MSRP of $27,549 reflects a $450 increase from the last model year, or just under 1.7 percent. New for 2003, Nissan's flagship Maxima sedan offers a new Titanium Edition Package and standard front seat side impact supplemental air bags (for GLE models) and two new exterior colors - Sheer Silver and Polished Titanium (Titanium Edition Package only). Maxima's Titanium Edition Package is a new option available only on SE models. The Titanium Edition Package features a Bose® audio system with AM/FM in-dash 6-disc CD changer, front seat side-impact supplemental air bags, in-mirror compass, stainless steel sill plates with Maxima logo, floor mats, titanium-tint color accent on center console, steering wheel and shifter, and alloy wheels with dark chrome finish. Valued at over $1,600, the package will be offered with an MSRP of $999. The 2003 Maxima employs a 255-horsepower V6 engine, part of the VQ engine series that has been named one of the "10 Best Engines" by Ward's Auto World for eight consecutive years. Ward's editors have written that it is "simply the best V6 engine available in America." The 3.5-liter DOHC V6 also features a silent timing chain and electronically controlled throttle (drive-by-wire). Standard mechanical features also include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD). Standard interior features include an 8-way power driver's seat with manual lumbar support, luxurious seat cloth, LCD in-meter trip computer, sport-style steering wheel, leather-wrapped gearshift knob and premium 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with steering wheel audio controls.
An optional feature on Maxima is the Nissan Navigation System. This navigation system includes the three-dimensional Birdviewmap display, which features an easy-to-read rolling display of roads, buildings and other points of interest, in addition to the traditional intersection/flat plane map images. A voice guidance system provides directions throughout the driver's journey, lowering radio volume when directions are spoken. While the 2003 Maxima is a carryover model with only minor modifications, a completely redesigned version will be introduced early next year as a 2004 model, company officials said. The 2004 model will be built at Nissan's North American plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. |

Beginning this fall, Chrysler Group customers can tune into satellite radio as Sirius is launched as a dealer installed product offering in 2003 model year cars, trucks, SUV's and minivans. Chrysler Group will offer Sirius Satellite Radio on the following 2003 vehicles:
The suggested retail price will be $299 plus labor, and a Sirius Satellite Radio subscription is $12.95 per month. Chrysler Group also announced factory installation availability of satellite radio for the 2003MY 300M. Sirius will provide DaimlerChrysler customers with coast-to-coast coverage of 100 channels of programming, including 60 channels of commercial-free music and 40 channels of news, talk, sports and entertainment. Customers installing Sirius Satellite Radio in their 2003MY vehicles will receive a small, mouse-like antenna mounted to the roof of the vehicle. The radio is designed to be user-friendly with a minimal number of buttons. Customers will be able to search for programs both by music style and channel. Depending on the vehicle, the radio screen will display the channel and music style. "Satellite radio has the potential to become the next 'must-have' technology. Now that we are offering it throughout our vehicle lineup, a wide range of customers will be able to enjoy this new entertainment experience," said Christine Cortez, senior vice president of Global Parts and Service Operations.

Chrysler Group Research Promises Improved Fuel Efficiency
| Chrysler Group researchers are using a series of small steps
in engineering to produce a giant leap in fuel efficiency that could benefit
consumers in the near future.
With a series of engineering changes to Chrysler's standard gasoline-powered, 4.7-liter V-8 engine, researchers have produced an engine with 14 percent better fuel efficiency. The cost of those changes is less than $200 per engine. The project has been called the "MAGIC engine", which stands for Multiple Approaches to Great Internal Combustion. The improvement in fuel efficiency was achieved with no sacrifice in power, cost, weight, engine life or other engine characteristics such as noise, vibration or harshness. As a next step, Chrysler engineers packaged the MAGIC engine into a Dodge Durango SUV with several additional design changes to enhance fuel efficiency. The vehicle achieves an overall improvement in fuel efficiency of 25 percent. Total additional costs for the project were only about $700 per vehicle. The automaker did not speculate when the MAGIC engine technology might be brought into mainstream production. |
Nissan Tops Manufacturing Efficiency Report for 8th Straight Year
|
For the eighth year in a row, Nissan has set the automotive
industry benchmark as the most efficient manufacturer in North America,
according to the Harbour Report North America 2002.
The Harbour Report is published by Harbour and Associates, Inc. a manufacturing and management consulting firm focused on improving the overall competitiveness of manufacturing companies. In achieving the top nameplate status, Nissan was ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in truck-making efficiency with the Frontier and Xterra, both of which are produced at Nissan's Smyrna plant along with the Nissan Altima. Beginning early next year, the Maxima flagship sedan will be manufactured in Smyrna. Among the findings of the Harbour Report North America 2002 were:
In mid-2003, production will begin at Nissan's new assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi, which will manufacture an all-new Nissan minivan, a full-size Nissan pickup truck and full-size Nissan and Infiniti sport-utility vehicles. "Manufacturing efficiency is an important key to being a successful automaker, as are product durability, quality engineering, pleasing performance and, of course, an attractive design," said Emil Hassan, senior vice president of North American manufacturing, purchasing, quality and logistics for Nissan North America, Inc. "Our drive toward establishing long-term, profitable growth for Nissan in the United States and globally is rooted in all of these fundamentals," he added. "The design of our vehicles and the active involvement of our employees contribute to Nissan's world-class manufacturing reputation." In North America, Nissan's operations include automotive styling, engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing. More information on Nissan in North America and the complete line of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles can be found online at www.nissandriven.com and www.infiniti.com. |
Toyota Boosts Production Capacity for Corolla in Brazil
| Toyota announced that it recently completed a major expansion
at the Indaiatuba Plant of Toyota do Brasil Ltda. (TDB), its manufacturing
subsidiary in Brazil. The plant, which has been building Corollas in the
state of São Paulo since 1998, now has an annual production capacity
of 57,000 units, up from 15,000. It started rolling out units of the ninth
generation Corolla at the end of May.
The expansion at Indaiatuba represents a new investment by TMC in Brazil of roughly US$300 million. With an aim to increase local content of the new Corolla to more than 70% (from about 60% for the previous model), the project entailed enlarging the plant's floor space from 29,000 square meters to 69,000 square meters to include a new stamping shop and other facilities. The plant intends to adopt a two-shift system, potentially creating 1,000 new jobs. The Indaiatuba-made new Corolla will be sold in Brazil and exported to more than 20 countries, including Argentina and Uruguay, helping to establish TDB as a Toyota export base for Latin America |
