The Crew Cab is built in

the Frontier King Cab and
Xterra. This plant has a good
reputation for quality.
Frontier's won J.D. Power
and Associates Initial Quality
Award in 1998.

Nissan's marketing depart-

ment believes the Crew Cab
will appeal ta middle-income
families with children under

room for the family, bur who
also want an open bed for

well as dirty’ stutt tike soil,

Sisson dunks many Crew
Cab buvers will cross over

cles and small minivans.

As the truck market con-
uinues to evolve into smaller
niches, hybrid vehicles like
the Frontier Crew Cab will
certainly tind new buyers,
Priced well under $30,000, it
will likely appeal to those
looking tor a cheaper alterna-
tive toa SUV,

Personally, the more |
think about the Frontier
Crew Cab, the more it makes
practical sense — even if it
looks odd!

PORSCHE disclosed
this week the first pub-
lic information about
its 2000 Boxster S
sports car.

The new model — an
enhanced version of its cur-
rent: fwo-seat’ Boxster coad-
ster that was launched in the
North American market in
the winter of 1997 — features
an enlarged 3.2-litre, hori-
zontally opposed, six-cvlinder
engine producing 252 (DIN)
horsepower (48 more horse-
power than the 1999
Boxster) at 6,250 np.m.

The larger engine also
increases torque from 181 ft.
ibs. on the current Boxster to
225 ft. Ibs. at 4,500 r.p.m.

About 85% of this maxi-
mum torque is available at
2,000 r.p.m. This more pow-
erful engine propels the
Boxster S from 0 to 62 m.p.h.
in 5.9 seconds, from 50 to 75
m.p.h. (in top gear) in 10.3
seconds, and to a top track
speed of 162 m.p.h. (13 mph
faster than the 1999 Boxster).

To take advantage of this
increased performance, the
Boxster'S incorporates signifi-
cant changes in engine man-
agement, transmission and
suspension.

Engine management is
performed by the  fatest
Motronic ME 7.2 with an
electronic accelerator (E-gas)
already proven on the 1999
Porsche 911 Carrera 4.

The new model also fea-
tures a six-speed manual
transmission (replacing the
Boxster’s five-speed) with
gear ratios matched for high-
er performance.

Like the Boxster, the five-
speed Tiptronic S automatic
transmission system: is avail-
