NISSAN FRONTIER GETS FIRST MAKEOVER SINCE 2004

It was the dinosaur of the auto industry, but the dinosaur has finally gone extinct. Nissan has finally killed the old design of its Nissan Frontier pickup. The automaker on Thursday revealed a redesigned version, marking the first total overhaul for the midsize pickup in 17 years. Since the Frontier got its last makeover in 2004, two major automakers have declared bankruptcies, an upstart called Tesla has surged as a carmaking force and semiautonomous vehicles have emerged in the industry.
