    Nissan Claims Midcycle Refresh of Sentra To Be 'Almost All New'

      The Upcoming Nissan Sentra Refresh Is Big Deal

    The current Nissan Sentra will be undergoing a midcycle refresh in the next few months and the senior vice president of sales, marketing, and operations, Fred Diaz says the refresh makes it "almost all new.

     

    "It will be an incredibly freshened Sentra," said Diaz.

     

    The refresh will include number changes to the styling - most likely bringing it in line with the V-Motion language - and enhancements to the technology.

     

    Now this an interesting thing to say since the current Sentra is doing quite well. Automotive News reports that Nissan moved 183,268 Sentras last year, up 42 percent when compared to 2013 and marked the best sales for the model in 25 years. Diaz said that the company doesn't have any concern about the current model in terms of sales. But he does say automakers have to stay fresh.

    i'm kinda curious why the 1.8L engine size seems so prevalent....?

    not like a lot of 2.7L v6s or 3.6 v8s......

     

    What do you  mean?

     

    gm has a 1.8L, toyota has one, nissan has one, VW has one,.....others?

    I think there is some mathematics and technical stuff behind it.  You'll notice that 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 are all getting really popular too.  

     

    My guess: The 1.8 is part of an engine family that also has 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 displacements available. The 1.8  is the biggest they can go without needing to go to the bigger block 4-cylinder... at nissan that is the engine block that the 2.0 and 2.5 use.  Smaller block = less weight. 

     

    GM does the same thing - the 1.4T, and 1.8 are the same engine family.  The old 2.0T and 2.4 were the same engine family. The new 2.0T and new 2.5 are the same engine family.   

     

    In the 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 case, those engines can all share the same piston and connecting rod design.

    Another thing... the biggest 4-cylinders tend to be around 2.5 liters (the biggest in recent memory is the 2.9 Atlas from GM).  If you need more power than that, you go to a V6 or you drop the displacement a bit and turbo charge it (I.e, the 2.0T).  It is beneficial in two ways - the 2.0T and 2.5 can share the same block with different bore sizes, and the 2.0T gets extra reinforcement around the cylinder walls with the smaller bore. 

     

    You wouldn't want to de-bore a 2.5 block down to 1.8 because that is an excessive amount of "extra" engine for a car that is light on power to lug around

      I didnt click on @A Horse With No Name facebook link because: 1. Facebook. I try to avoid Facebook as much as possible. Not hard to do anymore. Hope it dies sson though. I digress. Ill save THAT rant for another day. I think Ill start another Toyota hatred rant in the coming days instead... 2. I sooooo much hate Toyota, that I cant even bring myself to celebrate over Toyota problem stories because of the hatred being soooooo strong that even I try to avoid ANYTHING Toyota related.   (I do like some vehicles they produce as a disclaimer) But...I did listen to this one   Alls I got to say is...Toyota NEVER even HAD that reliabilty thing EVEN in the 1990s as that video is saying as the engine sludge thing HAPPENED in the late 1990s.  And even THEN, Toyota blamed the consumer...  So blaming the consumer is NOTHING new to Toyota. But the video is bang on!!! And as I was youtubing googling Toyota to retrieve that video above...I ran into Scotty Kilmore.   And he JUST released this video     Not gonna watch these videos, so I do NOT know of he has a clickbait title, but even Scotty has just acknowledged Toyota boo boos.    I have watched Scotty like 4 or 5 videos 5 years ago or something like that.  But Ill repeat, Toyota NEVER had this mythical relkiabilty thing. Some cars were built like tanks from them. Some cars are STILL built like gtanks from them. But they have had they SAME amount, but probably MORE shytty cars failing then any OTHER OEM...   But hey...  The Toyota kool-aid was some delicious shyte back in the day. Glad I NEVER drank it though.  But if Scotty is TRULY dissing Toyota's reliability, it MUST be a very REAL thing. But it ALWAYS HAD been a thing.  Oh well...
