Nissan continues to be a driving force in the auto industry, taking home the most wins at the annual AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) for the third straight year.

Five of its models took best-in-class wins for 2019, more than any other brand. Most notably, the Nissan Murano won best Premium Mid-Size Crossover SUV for the fifth time, while the ever-popular Nissan Maxima dominated the Luxury Mid-Size Car segment for its fourth win.

The dedication of Nissan to the community goes deeper than just meeting automotive-related needs, and it showed during the Nissan Foundation’s 2019 grant cycle. For 2019, the Nissan Foundation is awarding $740,000 grants to 30 non-profit organizations. The recipient organizations are spread across the states, including eight located in Tennessee.

The grants focus on non-profit organizations that encourage respect and understanding among various cultural and ethnic groups.

The 2019 Nissan Altima midsize sedan was one of the dozen cars to be selected for the Autotrader’s 12 Best New Cars for 2019 list.

A good friend of mine brought his 98 Toyota Tundra in for some repairs this week.
