They upped their game with the new gen Frontier. Has all the new gewgaws but they retained the reliable V6, whereas my beloved Toyota Motor Company has gone to overly complex, brittle small displacement turbo assists and hybrids. I'm glad to still have their older vehicles. The Tundra will outlive me I suspect.
The V6 used in the Zs and Maximas has always been a brute. So of course when TPTB ordered CVTs be put in the Maxima, the failure rate for Maxima CVTs skyrocketed. Having pencil pushers tell one how to make your car is devastating.
