The manual transmission is dead in the US. It’s time to face the facts that it’s a niche product that only sells in extremely small volumes. It will probably cost Nissan more to develop one than they would make back in sales by far.

Maybe the last two will help, but I don’t think the development costs of selling dozens of us manual cars is going to help them at all.
Let it die, sales highlight just how few people really want it.
I was in with a nostalgia NP until I saw the mileage... yikes. At 120K miles, why not. At 238K, run away.
For $6k, it should be in better shape. That’s a $4k car on a good day.
I’ve driven one of these. I’m team slow car fast but these are too slow, less safe than a motorcycle, the engine makes far more wheezy noise than power and it offers fiat levels of reliability . Tossable, I guess, but it takes so long to go from zero to interesting I’m not sure it matters. Good looks, bad drive.
It works like the old Churchill quote: “You can depend upon the Americans to do the right thing. But only after they have exhausted every other possibility.”
Well, thanks for spreading your colds and flus to the rest of your co-workers. I find this idea about “I never take sick days” to be utterly ridiculous.
WHO THE HELL VOTED NP? Day drinking? High as a kite before 9am? WT-actual-F is WRONG with you? Can you see all the missing trim and the way it’s been otherwise tended?
I looked it up since seller didn’t include underbody shot.
ND thanks I needed a good laugh
Never seen this in 40+ years of driving.
People do weird shit all the time.
“A friend of mine who does auto plants...”
Godamnit, he’s dumb. This is one of two politicians that approximately half of our country want leading us..again. Please vote. We’ve been stuck having to listen to this moron for 9 years. I can’t take it anymore.
I assume this would increase the price of golf carts for his resorts by at least 3%? The moment he finds out, he’ll drop the whole thing. “I never said tariffs! Biden said tariffs! No, it was Kablama, Kablama said tariffs! I miss Biden, don’t you miss Biden? No games! Gina!”
When President Trump takes back the White House again on January 6, you’ll have so much Tariff, it’ll be too much, too much Tariff, so much, so much Tariff, you’ll beg him to stop, you’ll look up and shout “Save us!”, and he’ll whisper “NO!”
“Trump has died” will be the most beautiful sentance I will ever here. Its amazing how that fat orange tub of shit hasn’t had a massive coronary yet.
He’s one stupid mother fucker.
I just looked them up. They still have pretty awful reliability problems that places them right down with the likes of Land Rover. So... not sure what changed between when they came out versus now.
