To be considered for the Green Car Vision Award, vehicles must be in their early stages of commercialization but not yet on sale, in small volume production with more than one functional prototype in existence, or operating as part of a demonstration fleet. A nominee may be an all-new model or an advanced adaptation of an existing model, such as a conversion to another type of power like electric drive.

“Nissan’s move to offer a stylish battery electric vehicle as part of its model line is significant,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and editor of GreenCar.com. “This coming electric model will provide the features, the styling, and the driving experience that will meet the needs of a sophisticated and demanding market, while producing zero localized emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels.”

Maryland Nissan Drivers Eager To Meet Nissan Leaf

The award winning Nissan Leaf is available to environmentally conscious Maryland Nissan drivers later this year at Preston’s Maryland Nissan dealership.

Maryland Nissan fans will also be impressed to know that the Nissan Leaf will remain affordable, which is one of the reasons why it beat out the competition for the 2010 Green Car Vision Award. The vehicle’s cost does not exceed that of a comparable internal combustion model and the gas to run it.

“This kind of price parity is crucial to the success of any mass market advanced technology model,” said Cogan.

Nissan’s latest car, the Cube, has caught the widespread attention of consumers nation wide.   The Cube features unconventional styling inside and out and,  most notably is the back rear-window that wraps around to the rear right side of the vehicle.  But the Cube is loved for more than its looks, the Cube also offers good handling dynamics and excellent maneuverability.

Preston Nissan serving Maryland and Delaware Nissan shoppers says that the Cube has been a huge hit with their customers.  According to Brent Durham, Internet Marketing Manager, ‘The Cube’s outside-the-box styling is definitely what catches the eyes of buyers, but once buyers see what’s on the inside and under the hood, it’s clear to see that this unique vehicle represents more value than first meets the eye.”

Cube is available with more than 40 individual accessories, ranging from a unique 20-color interior illumination kit and “shag dash topper” to aerodynamic body kits and custom 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels – allowing cube(R) owners to personalize their vehicles to reflect their own tastes and personalities. 

Available Cube technology includes the Nissan Intelligent Key(TM) with Push Button Ignition, Bluetooth(R) Hands-free Phone System, Rockford Fosgate subwoofer with six upgraded speakers, XM(R) Satellite Radio (XM(R) subscription required, sold separately) and Interface System for iPod(R).
