The Nissan Cube plays a key appearance and part at the 40th Annual Comic-Con Convention together with NBC’s Heroes, hosting a series of events as well like sweepstakes and providing giveaways to onlookers at the NBC Heroes booth.

The partnership allows most comic book and automotive fans to catch a glimpse of the Nissan Cube. This includes the asymmetrical design as well as standard features that include the Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System and the interior accent-lighting system that comes in 20 different shades.

Clips from Heroes featuring the Nissan cube will be broadcast on a massive plasma screen – demonstrating that boxes don’t always have to be square. Now that is something that Nissan may easily attach to the Nissan Cube or can be perhaps a marketing cliché in the coming months.

Nissan is scheduled to unveil a couple of new sports car models at the New York Auto Show. The two new sports cars are the 370Z Roadster and the Nismo 370Z, joining the Nissan 370Z Coupe.

The all-new 370Z Roadster goes on sale in late summer as a 2010 model and features a new power-folding convertible top with single-action operation and automatic roof latch. It also offers more refinement than any Z convertible that has come before, including standard Nissan Intelligent Key, as well as available heating and cooling ventilated net seats, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and an advanced Nissan Navigation System with 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive.

The performance-inspired 2009 NISMO 370Z features dramatic aerodynamic styling, a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine and a specially tuned suspension. It also offers unique interior treatments and special NISMO-branded 19-inch super lightweight forged alloy wheels. It is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide beginning in June.

“The addition of these two exciting new Zs to the dynamic new 370Z Coupe gives us three times the firepower as any competitive affordable sports car on the market today,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NNA. “Now, if you prefer your 370Z action with a wide-open top or with wide-open extreme styling and performance, we have the perfect Z for you.”

In what many are comparing to the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe promises a lot of new features for car enthusiasts looking for affordable and feature-filled cars in the market. It’s the companion to the Hyundai Genesis sedan, a credible car in its own right that was voted 2009 North American Car of the Year by automotive journalists. But you aren’t apt to get the two mixed up. The sedan is a refined family vehicle.

The two-door, in contrast, is sleekly low slung with race car-like styling and two choices of engines, a 2.0-liter turbo four cylinder generating 218 horsepower and a 3.8-liter V6 churning out 306 hp.

The 2.0-liter model starts at $22,000 and is priced around $25,000 with options. The limited edition 3.8-liter version starts at $29,875 and can run with extras up to $32,000 or so. According to Zarres, it is the lowest priced rear wheel drive car in America with more than 300 hp.

The V6 has a six-speed transmission with clutchless manual feature, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, 18 inch alloy wheels, leather seats, xenon headlights and power locks and windows standard. There’s also a host of accessories and safety features, including backup warning system, anti-lock braking, electronic stability control and Bluetooth-enabled hands free phone.

The Genesis coupe likely will replace the Tiburon, which has been Hyundai’s sportier model.
