It’s now the Nissan 370Z.

Toyota and Honda are big in the US market because they sell products Americans want. And the fact both companies have large US production presence.

Nissans are made in Tennessee and Mississippi...Their pick up trucks are good...(a friend has a Suzuki Equator, which is abadged Nissan Frontier. Another has the Titan.). I’m a Ford man, but their pick ups are good...

My buddy says the same thing. He had an Armada at one time,as well. Said he could watch the gas needle move to the left as he drove it.

Sounds like my V10 crew can f250... I expect if from it though and it’s well within its capability to pull 15000 lbs +

If they brought back the 510 in a retro format, front engine rear wheel drive with independent rear suspension, they would sell a million of them. Sell an 'r' spec turbo version and lookout!

They may be near a threshold where it is simply too late. Who wants a car from a maker soon to be gone?

Just after they castrated the Pathfinder, they eliminated the Xterra entirely.

You couldn’t ever find a Pro 4-X model. They didn’t promote it like Jeep did for their crap ride Wrangler. Nissan couldn’t even bring its model years out on time. I have my 2012 in two wheel drive. Keep good KO2 tires on it and will probably put a second 100k on it.

Agreed. Eliminating the Xterra was a big mistake. It was a great off roader and their only vehicle that came close to Toyota’s FJ Cruiser (also discontinued) or the lesbian’s vehicle of choice - the Fiat Wrangler.

Ordered right, the Wrangler can be satisfactory if you drive little on the highway. I live in Arizona and could find a lot of use for one set up in a proper manner. They are, in my humble opinion, intolerable as a highway cruiser and I drive about 15 to 20k a year crisscrossing the country on big trips.

My Xterra set at 77 MPH still gets about 19 to 20 even with the big 10-ply tires. Tire road noise is irritatingly high, but it tracks great and will drive through anything.

Thank you.
I never heard it described that way before.
Sometimes what is true can also be upsetting.

This is why I have a standard. I thought when my kids got older they would want to drive it, and have it as theirs. I was wrong. My kids don't want to learn how to drive a stick. I figured they wouldn't have to worry about friends asking to use it in college cause no others would be able to drive it being stick . Jokes on me--even my own kids don't want to drive a manual 🤷‍♂️😩 I guess I keep driving it!!!

Funny thing is we bought a 2009 Nissan rogue for them to drive. It’s a nice car seems to drive well but everyone claims the CVT transmissions are bad it scares me

Nissan isn’t a standalone company. It is 43% owned by Renault, last I looked.

Other brands include Mitsubishi and the Russian maker Lada.

I had a 1982 280ZX and really enjoyed that little car with the T-tops and 5-speed manual shift.

My wife and I have had Nissans for 30 years now. Over the years we've had Maximas, Altimas, Muranos, Rogues, Pathfinders and even a Quest when the kids were little. Never had a bad experience.

However, I'm seriously thinking of Suburu Outback for my next car. It seems that Nissan is falling behind on technology and the 2020 Suburu Outback has an amazing 11.6" dashboard screen. Yeah, I'm a bit of a gadget geek. Also, Suburu Outback is known for being one of the best all wheel drive cars for driving around in snow. And we get a lot of snow here.

Nothing against Nissan, they have been very reliable over the years. But Suburu seems to really have their act together.

I would not buy an electric car if I could get it for half price.
