The Downtown office is open and I go there for service. Glendale closed, moved everything off the lot. then a month later they have some sort of temporary entity in there.

I’ve owned two Infinitis...the more recent was 10 years ago. Quite nice in fact.Ten years ago Consumer reports used to rate Nissan and Infiniti quite highly...today the opposite is true.

If Carlos Ghosn had an epicanthic fold, Nisson would be in much better shape.

No way was Japan INC going to allow an outsider to control a major Japenese corp.

BS through and through.

Did he pad his expenses? Maybe?

Eight months and still in a Japenese jail?

And the guy from Olympus???

Carlos Ghosn controlled 2 Japanese corporations: 1) Nissan and 2) Mitsubishi.

He was supposed to be a prodigy at rescuing/restructuring corporations, but all he seemed to do was get a lot of Japanese drinking his Kool-aid while he jetted around the world like a Saudi prince.

Nice work if you can find it!

And he is not sitting in a Japenese jail for the last eight months because of od an earnings report.

Nissan made the SD-33 and SD-33T, which were better than anything Cummins has built to date.

Had to look it up. Hmmm, I had a Scout II. Wish it was one that came with the SD-33T.

What does the author mean by “Nissan is the only company whose new cars will let you drive without buckling up?”

I believe that means that the seat belt alarm will time out after a period, instead of remaining on the entire time belts aren’t buckled.

Sounds good...they could pull away some sales from BMW! But unlikely with current govt. safety standards and CAFE stuff...very expensive to start from the ground up with a “retro look”.

We have a Nissan Rogue with over 100,000 miles on it and never a problem. Rides well on the highway, comfy enough for long trips, peppy enough to merge into traffic. I would gladly buy another one.

Isn’t the Leaf the car that Obama sat in on stage at a ceremony and said “that’s a smooth ride”?

I meant that the Armada is V8. I don’t need a V*, and you’re correct .. I probably don’t need a V6. BUT, I want a full size SUV, which are getting ahrd to find with all of the crossover crap that the manufacturers seem to think we all want.

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

Subarus seem to have cylinder head (leak) problems.

My 1995 Nissan Pickup has 168,000 miles on it, and I take 2000-mile trips. Alternator has been replaced twice, but NO other repairs (!) in 26 years. Rust is slowly claiming it.

A retired service writer told me 30 years ago, "Nissan is a very high-quality automobile". Seems he was right!

So going out of business is a better option?

Lead had an octane effect in addition to the valve seat lube.
