The world’s best-selling electric car, the Nissan LEAF is continuing to earn praise as it snags the best Non-Luxury Traditional Compact Car award for the second year in a row. This award was given at the 20th Annual IHS Automotive Loyalty Awards. These awards acknowledge automotive brands for customer retention during the 2015 model year.
Nissan is very proud of this recognition. “We know that Nissan LEAF drivers love the benefits of driving electric—zero spending on gas, quick acceleration and the feeling of driving an environmentally friendly vehicle, to name a few—which is why so many LEAF owners come back and buy another LEAF,” said Andrew Speaker, Nissan’s director of Electric Vehicle Sales and Marketing. “Receiving the IHS Loyalty Award for the second year in a row demonstrates that LEAF owners repurchase more often than owners of any other compact car, and it is evidence of their strong enthusiasm for all-electric vehicles.”

The road trip is one of the most fun and engaging activities for families and friends alike. However, it’s not just the drive that makes the experience; it’s where you stop along the way. If you’re traveling through New York, check out a few of these memorable, yet bizarre places to visit.
House of Frankenstein Wax Museum
Located in Lake George, just on the edge of the Adirondacks, is the House of Frankenstein Wax Museum. While wax museums are fairly common, this one has 52 exhibits, each featuring a wax dummy being tortured. It’s a bit sadistic, but definitely worth a viewing. Tickets are $9.30 for adults and $4.65 for kids under 12.
Atomic Buddha Statue
It’s presumed that a drive through New York City is troublesome with the traffic, but weird sights here are plentiful. One such place is the Atomic Buddha Statue, situated just outside a Buddhist temple on Riverside Drive. The weird part is that this statue is actually radioactive, as it came from Hiroshima after the nuclear bomb of 1945.
Scary Lucy
This statue is as an homage to the late Lucille Ball. However, most visitors claim that it has no resemblance to the TV star whatsoever. Her facial features are also a bit bizarre, giving it the current moniker of Scary Lucy. Currently, there’s a petition to remove it from the town of Celeron, so try to see it before it’s too late.
While it’s probably not possible to visit these attractions in one trip, they should find their way onto your bucket list. Each are well worth a visit.

2016 Nissan Altima Featured In New Advertisement
A new advertisement called “The Package” has been released by Nissan featuring the all-new 2016 Nissan Altima. This new spot highlights several of the impressive capabilities of this stylish sedan and a few of its top technologies including a touchscreen display and push button start all while providing a number of shots that show off the sleek design of the 2016 Altima.
In this new advertisement we see a man heading out in his Altima on what appears to be a secret mission as he easily navigates his way through parking garages and busy city streets at night. In the end he completes his mission to pick up “The Package” before heading off to a very special meeting.
Check out the video below to find out what his secret mission was.
The “No Charge to Charge” program for the Nissan LEAF has officially been included in three more U.S. cities. This new program has now officially arrived in Santa Barbara, Philadelphia, and right here in New York. This program provides new LEAF owners with free public charging for the first two years when they purchase their vehicle from a LEAF-certified dealer in one of the participating cities.
“Nissan LEAF is an attractive option for metropolitan New York car shoppers—in addition to the $7,500 federal tax credit*, LEAF buyers can enjoy HOV lane access and now two years of free public charging,” said Andrew Speaker, director, Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales & Marketing, Nissan. “Those benefits, combined with the significantly lower operating costs and zero spending on gas, make owning an all-electric vehicle a cost-effective and convenient choice.”
To locate chargers in their area that are eligible for the “No Charge to Charge” program Nissan LEAF customers can use the LEAF EZ-Charge app.
