2016 Nissan Maxima Configurator Is Maximally On the web for Maximum Maxima

Nissan did a swell job maintaining its 2016 Maxima below wraps until the vehicle was officially unveiled at this week’s New York auto show, but now that it is out including pricing ($ 33,235 to $ 40,685), Nissan cannot wait for clients to start ordering them. And so the automaker has introduced its ingeniously named “Build Yours Now” 2016 Maxima reservation system.

The very good/negative news is that you won’t devote all day ruminating on options and other forms of customization, as Nissan has clumped all accessible goodies into its 5 trim levels (S, SL, SV, SR, and Platinum), which offer 9 paint colors and 5 upholstery treatment options among them. So generating a selection may possibly take you all of 3 minutes—unlike the days or weeks 1 can get lost building your dream Porsche Cayman. Regrettably, none of the Maxima’s trim levels include the word “NISMO” but our cash says that such a point at some point will exist. On the vibrant side, order ahead of June 2 and you’ll get 3 years of upkeep incorporated gratis. Head here to verify it out.

Such a Tease: 2017 Jaguar XE Configurator Goes Reside

Jaguar’s new BMW 3-series competitor, the 2017 XE sedan, only just debuted at the 2014 Paris auto show, and already the automaker has launched a preliminary on the web configurator so fans can start playing around with the model’s various configurations. (Verify it out here.) We’re as excited as any person for the XE, but these looking for a full-blown XE fantasy machine with a complete choices list and pricing will be disappointed.

So far, Jaguar’s on-line construct-your-own tool for the XE permits users to select among 3 models—XE, XE R-Sport, and XE-S—and select interior and exterior colors, wheels, and, on choose models, minor things like headlights and cabin-trim styles.

There is no indication of what stuff costs, normal equipment, or what sort of optional extras XE buyers can appear forward to, but the R-Sport trim level indicates Jag will have an intermediate sport model to combat the likes of BMW’s 3-series M Sport or Lexus’s IS250/IS350 F Sport automobiles. (Jaguar utilizes R to denote high-overall performance models witness the XFR, XJR, and the F-variety R coupe.) No mention is produced of engine selections, but we currently know the XE will supply U.S. buyers a turbocharged 4-cylinder in each gas and diesel guises, as nicely as a supercharged V-6. All-wheel drive will be obtainable.

We uncover Jaguar’s choice to start letting people fiddle around with their XE practically a bit curious. Following all, right here in the U.S., the XE does not go on sale until early 2016. That is a long time to tantalize the masses and auto journalists alike.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 On the web Configurator Is Live! (Sorta)

Chevrolet has finally place a rudimentary on-line configurator for the 2015 Corvette Z06 onto its internet site, and although it’s hardly a complete-blown “Build It Now” affair, it at least lets users play about with their dream Vette’s simple look. Lacking fundamental pricing data or even an choices list, Chevy’s Z06 internet site does let you select colour, wheels, trim level, interior color and material scheme, and body style. And that is fine, because we already know how considerably the vehicle and some of the added gear will expense.

The visualizer also outlines the 650-hp Z06′s 3 obtainable trim levels, dubbed 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ. To recap, the base 1LZ trim comes normal with a 9-speaker Bose audio method, digital gauge cluster, colour head-up show, 8-way energy leather seats, 6-speed manual transmission, backup camera, keyless entry and push-button starting, Brembo brakes, HID headlamps, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, among a lot of other bits. The 2LZ adds lumbar and side-bolster adjustment to the seats, as effectively as heating and ventilation, and a 1o-speaker Bose system, SiriusXM satellite radio, a universal garage-door opener, and auto-dimming mirrors. Ultimately, the 3LZ brings a complete nappa-leather wrap to the interior, faux suede upper trim, the Corvette’s amazing Efficiency Information Recorder as normal (it’s optional on lesser Z06s), and navigation.

Sadly, there’s no way to visualize the Z06′s 3 available aerodynamics packages, nor the high-performance Z07 package, which brings carbon-ceramic brakes and the wildest aero bits. Hopefully a complete configurator will go reside soon, simply because we’re obtaining antsy. Or possibly that is due to the fact we actually, genuinely, genuinely want to just drive the new Z06.
