Transcript

00:00 At the 2003 New York International Auto Show, Nissan stunned the audience with three new

00:16 vehicles, the 350Z Roadster, the Titan Crew Cab, and the Pathfinder Armada.

00:22 The 2004 Z Roadster will be offered in two trims, the Enthusiast model and the Touring

00:27 model.

00:28 The base Enthusiast version features power seats, rear wind deflector, 17-inch alloy

00:32 wheels, Xeon headlights, and automatic climate control.

00:36 The Touring model adds a Bose audio system with a six-disc changer, seven speakers, and

00:41 leather appointments.

00:42 Both models raise and lower the top in 20 seconds.

00:46 With the 350Z couped claiming the title as the best-selling sports car, this new drop-top

00:51 model is sure to be the hot ride this summer.

00:54 Nissan also introduced the new Titan King Cab Crew.

00:57 Scheduled to go on sale late 2003, this full-size pickup will be available in five and six passenger

01:04 configurations.

01:05 With a 127-cubic foot interior, the King Cab boasts more space than its competitors, including

01:11 other 2004 models.

01:13 The rear seat is a 640 split and has a 24-degree rake for comfort.

01:18 The five-foot, seven-inch cargo bed features an industry-standard first factory-sprayed-in

01:23 bed liner, movable tie-down cleats, bedside storage compartment, tailgate, work light,

01:28 and a bed-mounted 12-volt power point.

01:31 Like the regular Titan, this four-door packs a 5.6-liter DOHC V8 with over 300 horsepower

01:38 and 375 foot-pound of torque, made into a five-speed automatic transmission.

01:43 Taking the domestic manufacturers head on, Nissan rolled out the Titan-derived Pathfinder

01:48 Armada.

01:49 This full-size sport utility vehicle features three seating rows, offered in seven or eight

01:53 passenger configurations.

01:55 The well-appointed interior feels more like a premium sedan than a truck, with its artful

01:59 design and relatively lush materials.

02:02 A sophisticated, capable SUV, the Pathfinder Armada 4x4 uses all-drive technology, derived

02:08 from the Skyline GTR, for on-road and off-road traction, aided by a two-speed electronic

02:13 transfer case.

02:14 The Pathfinder Armada joins the Nissan lineup this fall.
