2014 Nissan Rogue Offroad Review...

Not that you would want to use your new Rogue as an offroader but, its nice to know it won't fall apart immediately upon leaving the pavement.

The video calls the Rogue one of the most improved vehicles of 2014 and I would tend to agree--particularly in terms of its looks.  The little 4-Cyl engine seems a bit over-purposed in this ever growing vehicle but from the sounds of things all the little electronic dongles and doo-hickies make the Rogue a great small family car.

Cool Little Datsun Truck Racing in Africa...

Proving that all is not dead in the world of Nissan/Datsun offroad racing is this little beauty.

Piloted by Alex Horsey in Kenya the Datsun pickup finished 4th in a strong field of 31 competitors in the first round of the Kenya National Rally Championship at the 2013 KCB Kajiado Rally.  This Datsun is some 30 plus years old but still runs near the front of the pack against much newer and AWD competition.

The Kick Energy Datsun runs in Group N and I guess is 4WD though I'm not sure I'd trust some 30+ year old CV joints.  Oh...and check out that wing!!  Looks like it was taken off a late model Mistsubishi Evo! You can see the conditions and much of the field during the race in the below video as well.  These look like some blisteringly fast roads!
