The Dubai dealer for Nissan has announced the introduction of the 2012 Nissan Patrol Pickup in the UAE at the 2012 Commercial Vehicles Middle East show. The company also displayed the Nissan Urvan panel van and the Nissan Navara pick-up.
The Commercial Vehicles Middle East event is now on at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The three-day event is being held alongside the Commercial Vehicles Conference.
On the 4th of March, for the first time in UAE, Arabian Automobiles premiered a fashion show at its Infiniti Centre, modeling the latest collections of international designer Akl Fakih and Emarati designer Fatima Al Kaabi while showing off what is purportedly the largest Infiniti showroom in the world.
We’ve never been to an event before where we drove so many different cars at once that all the names did not fit in the title of a story. At the recent “Mopar Power Drive” media event at the Dubai Autodrome, we drove the 2012 editions of the — in one big breath — Chrysler 300C V8, Chrysler 300 V6, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Dodge Durango, Dodge Challenger V6, Dodge Charger V6, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Compass, and finally, to throw a curve-ball, the Fiat 500.
The 2012 Lexus GS is now on sale in the UAE. The all-new GS, initially available in GS 250 and GS 350 variants, will later be joined by a GS 450h hybrid model a few months down the line.
It isn’t every day that a new Toyota Land Cruiser comes out. It still isn’t that day. The last time a new one debuted was in late 2007. Before that, it happened in around 1998, if what our grandpa says is true. Today, we took a look at the 2012 model, a facelifted version of the existing model, at an event in Dubai.
Nissan Middle East is now offering a VVIP version of its latest GT-R model. The 2012 Nissan GT-R is one of the fastest sports cars in the world, but it never had the material finish of its overpriced competitors from Germany and Italy. Pay for the VVIP edition though, and that becomes a non-issue.

But things changed once the impressive Tiida came into the scene, stealing sales from the Sunny and largely relegating it to fleet-vehicle status, having barely changed in more than a decade. Now that Nissan has decided to dust off the Sunny name and bring in a completely revamped model, keep in mind that it is not playing in the same segment any more.
It would seem Dubai Police is on a upgrade spree. After dropping some dime on at least a hundred SUVs, namely the Toyota Prado, Nissan Xterra and Kia Mohave, one of our readers, Sree, spotted this 2012 BMW 5-Series on a tow truck in full police livery.
The Big Boys Toys show, held at the Atlantis for 2012, from the 9th to the 11th of February, is a show involving all sorts of stuff, to put it simply. Featuring everything from cars, bikes and boats to gadgets, games and fashion, it is intended to showcase the random pleasure you can pursue if you have the money. Among the automotive displays were the Hulme CanAm Spyder at the Gillette stand, the Marchi Mobile land-yacht from Germany, the latest version of the Nissan GT-R VVIP, the DTV Shredder that acts likes an offroad Segway, the Bozzies custom bikes,
