“I don’t like to wish ill on people,” oh come on, sure you do, we’ve all read your stuff.

Could make it a lot easier to type if you just put “It’s been a Nissan week for Nissan” 

You forgot 'normal'. 

Been like that for 10 years but the response was always, “but we have volume of sub prime buyers and rental car companies!” They don’t even have that now, just a bunch of unsold garbage products.

I think you’re spot on in Merc wanting a Brit in their stable.  Maybe import/export benefits?

We eat the rich around here, didn’t you get the memo?

“It is extremely exciting when an automaker CEO is ousted, kind of like when the head coach of an NFL franchise is fired.”

Yep,. 24k on a 650 hp rental sounds like 240k on a normal car to me. Read more

I wonder if the lack of new vehicle inventory due to factory shutdowns will have a follow-on effect on used cars, raising used car prices?

No one wants regular cab trucks and 2 door vehicles, that’s why they are disappearing. Offering a 2 door Gladiator would be a giant waste that would appeal only to broke ass… Read more

Not helping...

1st gear. This is what happens when you rest on your laurels. If you make products just good enough, then why would someone buy them? I would buy a comparable Korean car 100 times over anything Nissan is selling right now.

FWIW, VW dealers have historically sucked horribly. It actually took Dieselgate for them to play nice again.

I’m a card-carrying JDM fanboy, and I can’t imagine why anyone would buy the Supra over this... Read more
