Nissan General Discussion

Make a damn simple pick up truck.

The 2023- Frontier really is exactly that. I'll give Nissan credit where it is due. It's a massive improvement from the previous gen and actually on par with a Tacoma, but less money in many trims.

That's good. It's the Navara over here. Wasn't sure if Nissan still had a small truck. I remember the Titan(Edit: I seriously did not mean to do that ), but didn't know where Nissan trucks were with their line up.

The QX80 R-Spec has the heart of a GT-R Nismo and the subtlety of a sledge hammer

Not bad.

2026 Nissan Navara to be revealed in Australia Nov 19 – based on Mitsubishi Triton, not coming to ASEAN? - paultan.org

Following hot on the heels of the new Toyota Hilux is the fourth-generation Nissan Navara, debuting just over a week later on November 19. Rather bizarrely, the reveal will be held in South Australia, despite …

Strange when the new Hilux debuted in Thailand a week ago. Instead, the upcoming Thai Motor Expo on the 29th, the current generation X-Trail (That's five years old at this point) will be making it's launch in the country. Right after Indonesia back in July. Moreover, the current generation Navara will see a new entry-level variant in the upcoming expo.

And considering the next-gen Navara will be based and built in the same factory as the Triton, how long until Nissan's factory in Thailand would shutdown?

The weirdest thing about modern Nissan to me is that I drive them all the time as rental cars. Sentra, Altimas, Rogues especially. They're totally fine. Arguably good, and they get great fuel mileage. And there are a ton of them, their fleet sales were gigantic in previous years although they've evened out a bit as other companies like Mazda have finally realized how valuable the rental car advertisement is. A Nissan Altima is basically the best highway cruising car on the market.

Sentra is a good car and was IMO the best looking car in it's class until the new one came out. Not a fan of the new design. It desperately needs a shot of fun, bring back the SE-R or something.

Altima is a great road trip car that gets 40+ mpg but unfortunately it's one step away from death.

Z Nismo 6MT confirmed.

Forget the showstoppers, Nissan’s biggest Tokyo reveal is subtle, sharp, and exactly what enthusiasts were hoping for

Most of Nissan's cars are fine enough now, I think it's just that Toyota has so wholly consumed the consumer passenger car market in North America now that nobody can really get that much traction anymore, aside from the enclaves in areas around their manufacturing plants.

Tokyo Auto Salon coming right up this weekend. Big reveal from Nissan/Nismo. Since it seems to be based on a car that is normally a hybrid, will be interesting to see if this is just a body kit and stickers or if they truly went all out.

Edit: Well, it looks nice. But based on the spec sheet, it's still e-power.

Nissan Z (RZ34 generation) is getting a facelift for the 2027 model year. New interior and exterior color too it seems. The front Nissan badge is replaced by the Z badge as well.

I quite like the minimalist interior, it doesn't feel over-engineered like a lot of sports cars do (would rather have mechanical gauges behind the steering wheel, but I guess nobody really does that much anymore). Just a shame that they're asking BMW money for it.

I’m digging the fabric. Of course it’s green. Give me a black or dark grey two-tone seats, grey trim. Fit some brakes that’ll accommodate 17” wheels. Add thicker tyre sidewall and I’d have it.

Add the duck tail too.

Hands up, who told Nissan's execs about "aura farming"?
