I personally don’t want Nissan to die since they brought the crazy to Japanese racing since they were dominant. The only issue now is they have dug their grave with companies like Renault who are notorious for terrible quality and Nissan is still suffering from terrible French engineering such as the CVT. If Nissan is to survive they need to match Honda and Toyota’s hybrids and they meed to go back to making their engines reliable and stop making sports cars right now since they don’t have the funds nor do they the competitive price and product since the Z lost to the Supra and other sports cars. The reason the Miata is still selling is the design and how it is priced. It is very reliable something Nissan forgot. If Nissan gets its act together with making more reliable and priced cars people will buy them along with the hybrid power train which Toyota and Honda are making profits. Mazda is killing the market with its designs and sticking to making their cars reliable and adapting to the market which Nissan has, but in the wrong direction.

Either bring the current on-sale Terra to NA, or else just make a suv body for the back half of the current Frontier and call it a day. 3.For the current lineup that lacks any hybrid, get them at least a 48v mild hybrid to deal with the regulations. Should they do catch a break, more changes need to be made: -starting with bringing back the gtr as a hybrid, no need to make it a whole phev though, it’s heavy enough already, and drop the price on the Z -since now the ”xterra” is back, switch the pathfinder to a lengthened FM platform to make it more competitive somewhat, along the way it’ll help qx60 out as well -kill the qx55, dress up the kicks to be a qx30 or something, and update the qx50 to murano level

Hope they sort things out. I have a Juke that’s 11 years old now and is about to hit 200,000 miles (on its original CVT, no less), and an Infiniti G37 6MT (15yrs, ~114,000). Matters of work and recreation compel me to replace the Juke with a newer, larger SUV…but I have to admit it’s a bit hard to motivate myself to do. The thing’s been fun, versatile, and reliable. The G37’s even harder to fault. Ergonomically far more tolerable than its many European competitors at the time, and it’s completely insane how well it’s aged. At over 15 years old I feel like I’m supposed to want to replace it but have zero desire to.

[@ddavidson5]

It unfortunate to hear that Nissan is struggling. As an expat now living in Mexico, and a Nissan owner, Nissan has 4 of the top 10 cars by sales here: Nissan Versa (#1), Nissan NP300 (#2) called the Frontier in other markets, Nissan March (#5) called the Micra in other markets, and Nissan Kicks (#10). Hope they can work it out.

[@gentry5656]

Hopefully Nissan changes course soon. Just bought a Frontier Pro4x and it's a great truck so far. Very solid build quality, looks GREAT, reliable history, NA V6, and very capable. I chose it over a Ranger, Ridgeline, and Tacoma. I don't understand why they don't lean into their Frontier and Titan more. They make great trucks and anyone I know that has one loves it, whether it's a work truck, commuter, overlander, or mix of all three. Would be so sad to see such a historic company shut their doors.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

We already knew that Nissan is struggling, but I didn't know it was this bad. I was in Bergenfield New Jersey last year for Thanksgiving, and saw the Nissan/Infiniti dealership I first saw back in 2019 closed down. Maybe that should've been my glaring indicator that Nissan's situation is way worst than I thought. I assumed that they were barely keeping up float since they did release new products that sell like the new Pathfinder, Rogue, and QX60 that drive sales that they desperately needed. I guess that wasn't enough. Maybe this is because of the almost 2 decades of subprime dealership car loans and decline in quality has put both brands in a market position to where Hyundai and Kia were in the 90's. Overall public perception of Nissan and Infiniti has plenty of negative stereotypes that damaged their brand like Big Altima Energy; and how the public views the two brand and its drivers unfavorably as it conjures up stereotypes like subprime loan, low credit score, and reckless driving.

[@AlexanderY18]

Turns out people care about liability. I think people used to buy them because they were cheaper then the competition, ignoring the reliability issues. But Hyundai kia etc took over that market by providing much more fun features and designs. That's my anecdotal point of view, i may be wrong though because I'm not really an expert on these topics.

[@toshitanaka1550]

Nissan basically followed the French which is cheap cars, unreliable, and horrendous engineering. Nissan basically killed itself by ruining their brand with unreliability and killing off some of their best cars. Nissan also didn’t follow suit in hybrids and took the extreme route with full EVs. Car companies that did that got punished like Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, GM, Ford, etc. The big problem with Nissan is they haven’t provided very many design refreshes and power trains to accommodate to buyers. They had competitive crossovers, but they have no hybrids. If they followed Toyota and Honda’s hybrid they would’ve had sales and if they followed Mazda’s design philosophy it would’ve been better for Nissan.

If I was Nissan I have Launch a Pathfinder Sport or Pathfinder X to compete with the Bronco Sport. Making the same, being based on the Nissan Rogue but the design should be based on the 1996 to 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, and the rear door handle needs to be in the Pilar like that generation and with some Hybrid Power.

[@taxp6872]

I don't think that Honda would buy Nissan. They had a very simmular chance in the mid 90's with the Rover Group where they hold up to 45% percent of the company and developed cars together like the Concerto (200/400R8) or Legend (800) . And Rover Group wasn't that hard struggeling at that time like Nissan now.

[@Paul-fj2mm]

Just imagine how much Nissan profited from replacing these faulty CVT's on their customers cars??? This is the only explanation, why they would not correct/fix their transmissions for over 20yrs!!!

[@DB-p5y]

Feels like total mismanagement. I believe it was early this year when you showed the CEO saying that the high margin Armada and Murano's would save the year. Both were supposed to be out before 4Q. Then they seemed to drag out the process on both so that only the Armada will see a lot this year and so very late in the year. They needed to stay on schedule. It's indicative of all their problems - too slow to move.

[@Paul-fj2mm]

Ex-Nissan Customers who were affected with CVT issues, ask them if they ever want to buy another NISSAN again?

Why Nissan contracted JATCO to build their CVT Transmissions especially proven since 2003 that they are horrible quality, and they never thought that customers would retaliate with massive lawsuits which resulted destroying the brand? Cars are not cheap in these days, and automakers are playing with our money. Nissan will learn when it's too late as they became highly stubborn and stupid!

[@williamquemuel7824]

Nissan had 3 hybrids since 2017, but they haven’t released them in the USA. The Nissan e-Power Note and e-Power Kicks have been around the world for a while and e-Power Qashqai is the most recent. I don’t know if the reason was homologation. If that is the case, then this means that Nissan is really in trouble because they lack the money to meet homologation. Maybe, they don’t have the funds or don’t want to risk building a hybrid factory in USA. Maybe, Nissan’s mismanagement is the reason for no USA hybrids. I know that since Carlos Ghosn gone, NIssan lacked vision. For 2nd Gen Kicks, Nissan looks like that they discontinued the e-Power variant. Can Kirk fill us in for holdup in the release?

[@DeadAir21]

@ Nissans problems are far beyond a compact pickup. Nissan as a brand struggles with brand identity. What is it known for, what sets it apart from other car brands. Nissan is a vanilla brand when consumers want more than just vanilla. And to speak on compact trucks. Have you noticed no one else is trying to jump into the segment? It’s because the margins are too thin and you have to sell these in very high volume to make money. And if you do sell at high volume all it’s going to do it keep the price of the truck rising. The Mavericks price has gone up 25% in 3 years and the whole selling point of the maverick was its price point.
