Focus should be put on the Pathfinder first. It’s super old and ugly, but that’s the most profitable category. There’s value attached to that name, and it can double as a good base for a true luxury offering for Infiniti if done right.

Neutral: If I were the head of Nissan, I think I’d start by making underpowered, uninspired cars with a CVT. Then focus on fleet sales to prop up volume. Rather than update the Z to bring it into this millennium, I’d keep milking that for several more years.

As a maintainer of planes, I can say it would be cheaper to get your A&P licenses and overhaul your own engine. I’ve never worked GA so I don’t know if that $20k figure for a small engine overhaul is accurate, but it sure seems like a lot. 

One of the people who works for me was under indictment for felony domestic violence and kidnapping when he decided it would be a good idea to pick up a side gig to cover his lawyer bills. Lyft declined him as a driver in 10 minutes because things like that show up in an actual background check and SHOULD disqualify…

5th Gear: Nissan hires new President of North America, Patrick "Babyface" George. Or he got Kinja'd and is now working remotely in Siberia.

Seems like a pretty cheap ticket to Radwood to me. Hate the shifter but I bet the exhaust sounds incredible, and few climates preserve old cars like Seattle’s. In a different time, I’d be all over this. 

The first time my ‘93 Grand Cherokee did the DW, it was, at the time, the scariest thing that ever happened to me behind the wheel. I was going home from work and hit a frost heave and the fun began. I took it over to a shop where a friend worked and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Nothing was worn out, no slop,…

There’s one of these in the Udvar Hazy annex to the Smithsonian Air and Space museum at Dulles. Neat to look at but completely silly concept. Every time you want to go flying you have to build an airplane onto your car, and then the plane doesn’t fly very well, and the car doesn’t drive very well. And now you have a…

It has 781 flight hours. Someone actually spent 781 god damn hours flying in this thing. That terrifies me.

Yeah, I’m a fairly masculine dude, and I’d definitely drive this thing. Shit, yellow’s considered pretty effeminate, and that’s the best-looking factory color these came with...so why not pink?

You really need to channel your inner Doug Demuro on this one.

Seriously...you’re a Jalop. You’re a new media journalist which includes social media. And that car will change your life for the better in every imaginable way.

It’s a Lotus frickin’ Elise. Nothing else matters.

I have a Mazda 2 and I enjoy it, but thats not what they need to be selling., Bringing back niche models that dont sell well and people dont particularly care about wont do anything for them. They are finally on the right track and hell, I can get a Mazda 3 for cheaper than a corolla or civic for the most part, and…

Nissan = Cheap

Well, here’s the thing: you don’t get to pretend things you don’t like don’t exist. This is noteworthy. It’s also of note that it’s very dangerous and illegal. 

“Filmed in Mexico”

The result was a trip average speed of 103 mph, with a max speed of 193 mph.

Can we as car enthusiasts please stop legitimizing this practice and the knobs who participate? 

If a single piece of food was acquired from outside the car or if anyone peed outside the vehicle, there’s room for improvement. Seems like the pinnacle would be having some of those support people waiting at the pumps to fill your tank asap. Those pit stops COMPLETELY DESTROY YOUR PACE PLEASE JUST GET BACK IN THE CAR…
