Nissan continues to struggle with brand identity. Why would a consumer ever pick Nissan over any other brand. They aren’t the most reliable (Toyota & Honda), they don’t have the most tech for less (Hyundai & Kia), they don’t have the nicest interiors (Mazda), and they don’t have a loyal following (Subaru). They might be the most vanilla out of all of the Asian brands which is probably why rental fleets love them so much.

Mitsubishi meanwhile...

[@DeadAir21]

@@KirkKreifels lol Mitsubishi’s problem is that the North American market isn’t their most important market, SE Asia is and what they everywhere else wouldn’t appeal to American tastes because they’re smaller with much slower engines. And it’s hard to make more American specific vehicles when we’re 3rd in sales for them.

⁠@@dangrassYeah right…”pushed him out” to chairman. Mr Toyoda himself said he wants to quit and do racing, but Toyota won’t let him go, ESPECIALLY seeing how he single-handedly destroyed the entire EV scam industry.

Would you recommend buying Nissan Ariya? It has no CVT, and has recently dropped its prices... Thanks!

Hopefully the murano shows up with a hybrid? The kicks is about to go on sale but no hybrid. The altima been on sale simce 2018 as a 2019. Nossan will show the new armada soon... They.ready shows the game plan. Idm why everyone is acting as if the news will be different in 1 month when Nissan said when to expect certain technologies lol. Next year as a 2026 mostly with a few product launches within the next year...

Hi Kirk, Love you channel. Any news of a Corolla Cross Prime coming in the future?

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

All Nissan has to do is get rid of CVT, but I don’t understand why they are insist on putting CVT in pretty much every car they made. And they have to come up with hybrids.

[@amode8761]

I’m very close to buying a top spec Nissan X Trail E Power… it seems to be a really good and better specced car in comparison to the older RAV4 and new CRV here in Australia. Always owned Toyota’s before but can’t wait another 12-18 months for the next RAV4. Any reason I should not get the Nissan?

[@101spacecase]

I like Nissan. They should update the Leaf battery and also make a Hybrid model. If I had money atm I would buy the Little Nissan truck for sure. They should also consider some better marketing. Perhaps Racing.

[@avdp9095]

They will go ev dependingvthe market.... in Europe, Northern Europe, probably from 2030 100% EV.....Southern Europe, mayby from 2030 onwards with full EV in 2040 or so. South Africa, South America, they have not the infrastructure for full EV.....same for major parts of India, Russia, Asia......

[@jameswillett7186]

Someone on youtube said the fact that Nissan is owned by Renault means the Nissan products have a lot of Renault parts in them which is a BAD thing because French cars are poorly designed and unreliable.

[@ryanfraley7113]

@@miraphycs7377 If all you can do is insult you just proved my entire point. Mild hybrids like Prius and Camry that get dramatically better mileage are fine. The issue is when you slap a “performance hybrid” in a Tundra for 4 MPG improvement and call it an “EV”. No one buys that statistic and frankly a lot of Tundras are sitting in lot because truck buyers want pure V8’s. But Toyota gets to claim they sold an EV with the Tundra sitting on dealer lot. If you’re calling this out coping, that’s because you have your standards on the floor.

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

Nissan crossover and SUV models with their V6 have all been excellent. They are being totally let down by their dogshit 4 cylinder and now 3 cylinder cars like Juke, Rouge, and their sedans aren't great either. It looks like they aren't expecting to be a juggernaut in the hybrid business and are mostly going straight from I.C.E. cars to EV's.

[@rotorhead4757]

In a way there is a bright side for Nissan in the long run. The vehicles that they have reworked since Ghosn sent himself same day shipping have been successful, so if they can survive long enough to rework the rest of their lineup they could be good again...right?

[@DoubleH2279]

What I would do if I were in charge of nissan: -get rid of the infamous CVT -discontinue the Altima and Rogue to make way for a new fastback Mitsubishi Galant and tough Nissan XTERRA -market the Versa as a compact “working class car” and revive the hatchback variant (without the Note nickname) -market the Sentra as Nissan’s family sedan, offer AWD and an off road variant to give Subaru a taste of what they’re throwing away -make the New Kicks have a more down-sloped hood -Frontier and Pathfinder would basically be stablemates

[@DarthNero]

Whos still buying the the part shortage excuse used to explain the current very low Toyota days supply numbers despite being now almost halfway 2024? I sense an intentionally limited production strategy intended to avoid incentivising discounts below MSRP and the need to sell more volume. They want to make sure people have fewer options hence leading people to pay the full MSRP. Even if you wait til 2025 or 2026, dealers will still be asking you to be on a waiting list for a standard Toyota model.

Idk, Toyota is also self destructing with their pickups and suv prices. They’re getting ridiculous. A lot of them aren’t selling and just dying on lots, especially the new tundras and tacomas. When you have a midsize pickup like the 2025 Tacoma SR5 going for $45-50k, there’s something seriously wrong here.

So what about buying used Nissan EVs? It would be used so you wouldn't take that big of a hit on depreciation compared to buying new and there's no CVT so that wouldn't be an issue.
