If you go and add up all the numbers...it’s not just Nissan in trouble. BMW, VW, Mercedes, and several others are also in a bind because of the money invested in this technology.
The other worry here that is starting to appear....hydrogen-run vehicles are no longer a fantasy. It’s possible that the public may embrace this more....than battery-powered cars.
Add onto this....the ‘forced’ route of telling the public that they cannot buy gas/diesel powered new cars after 2030 (like Germany did). If the public doesn’t latch onto this forced route and lessens all car purchases after 2030....it’d be a major problem for car companies.
NOT ONLY should the DEEP STATE stop pushing electric cars, we should get rid of ALL the PC crap loaded into vehicles. Cars need to be made GREAT AGAIN!
All this nonsense started when they started banning engines that burned leaded fuel (which should be brought back, for those who want them). Cars have not been the same since.
All downhill since the Renault deal. Their CVT’s are the worst.
They never seemed to outgrow thie taste for execrable advertising. Goofy styling continues. Have you seen one of those juke things? Fugly beyond belief. "It's Awesome!" LMAO.
What are you on about? There are three dealerships within 30 minutes from me here in Century City. Nissan is fine and is not going anywhere. They are global and actually have manufacturing here in the US.
Nissan makes a really good truck/trucks.
Bring back the Datsun 240z.
This is true. Except for a few minor cosmetic changes, Nissan hasn't updated their Frontier midsize pickup since 2004. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I like that Nissan’s sedans at least look like they were designed over 10 years ago. I don’t like the funky look that Toyota and some other makers have recently adopted.
I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that the book of Romans is only in the New Testament.
The dumbasses deserve to go bankrupt!
Thanks.
I don’t know what you’re yammering about. First off, if you’re in Century City...you’re not in the “heart of Hollywood”.
I am, at 70, a Los Angeles Native. There is only one dealership near me... in Downtown LA. I have no interest in driving to Cerritos and other places to have my car service. You may love driving to those places...I do not.
Have a 370Z now but had an earlier model a few years back. It is near impossible to find Manual transmissions these days let along having them serviced.
Sorry but this article is long on political spin and absolutely absent on facts.
Losses on electric vehicles did not decline Nissan’s market share not did it erase all its profits.
This is an article no less biased and full of drivel than the Trump Russia Colllusion nonsense
I’ll check it out. Probably something I should be reading or pondering anyway.
"ASS in everything"
That's one of the more unfortunately chosen acronyms I can think of! It certainly gives a much different meaning to "bad-ass car"!
There are a dozen or more articles by others sources if you check the news.
Buy a manual transmission. Millenial Anti-Theft Device.
I've got a 2005 Nissan Altima, 2.5 liter. Bought it new. The car doesn't owe me a penny. It's still got the original exhaust system, although recently I've had to have some small parts replaced, and some welding done. My garage takes care of me, and won't recommend replacing anything unless it's absolutely necessary. I live in the foothills of the Adirondacks, and the car has never spent a day in a garage. I paid cash for it, and planned on it lasting me until I died. I'm still hoping. It's got 123,000 miles on it.
