Hopefully they’ll stay afloat. They’re a lot more affordable than the other Japanese competition. It’s what most of my family drives.
But yeah, I can see they aren’t doing so well. My mom just bought a new rogue and the dealer was a ghosn town. Compared to the few Toyota dealers we visited, which were fully packed and staffed with a dozen people. The Toyota managers were also really unwilling to budge on their trade in offers and deals. I mean 7% APR for people with excellent credit? Fuck off with that. Nissan was practically tripping over themselves with deals. It’s the only place offering 0% APR, my dad loved that.
I know the cvt woes scared people away, but just about everyone else is using a cvt at this point too. Subaru, Toyota, Chevy, etc. Hopefully Nissan has gotten those issued sorted out by now.
When Mozilla reviewed cars for privacy, they all failed… But only Nissan had TOS that said they’d monitor and sell your sex data.
In the word of Catherine Zeta Jones, “they had it comin”
Nissan is my favorite out of the Japanese Big Four, and it’s sad to see how far they’ve fallen. At least they aren’t Mitsubishi - who are dead to me - but this situation is pretty grim. I bet being stuck with the french idiots that are Renault also didn’t help much.
Mitsubishis are just Nissans at this point. The interior on the outlander is an exact clone of the Nissan rogue.
Whats the problem with Renault? I don’t think that they are at the fault there
I’ve got 110k miles on a Mitsubishi and zero problems so far
Counterpoint - my wife’s Eclipse blew the motor at 120k miles.
One word.
Transmissions.
Well yeah, they make crap cars
I’m a big fan of their Frontier. Sad to see them in bad shape.
If they started shipping a small truck, I bet it would sell. And sell an updated version of the leaf with temperature regulated batteries, fast charging, and a modern charging connector instead of Chademo. A decent delivery van would also add to their bottom line.
I’ve had two Frontiers! A 2008 that was the best vehicle I ever owed! So of course an idiot ran a red light and destroyed it. Because insurance was jerking me around I ended up buying a ratty 2006 Frontier that had been abused pretty bad. I’ve put 25k on it with rod knock and it just keeps going. That knock is coming to an end now though lol! I’m going to need to swap the engine out or end up with extra ventilation soon!
I have many fond memories of my '93 Altima. My first car.
