Does Nissan deserve to die?

Yes. So I stop shitting my pants every time one pulls up to me at a light and I think my engine is ticking and knocking to death when It's just the Nissan that rolled up. Do they use fucking cheese as exhaust gaskets or something?

really says something when a mini and fiat are above a nissan

what bother me is how much they dont care about the sport things anymore

Nissan, for the love of god, why isn't the gtr the first fucking car i see when i click on your damn webside. whyyy

a fucking FIAT

shitlist.

This list doesn't even make sense. Somehow the WRX is better than the STI, somehow two ugly Mexican cars are ranked in the top 3, somehow a fucking sentra is considered a "sports" car.

>>17337116
>WRX better than STI
Doesn't have a 20 year old engine design, feels faster anywhere that isn't a race track due to better power delivery, 10k cheaper.

>15

Fake and gay.

>>17337045
Yes. Just went and test drove a bunch of cars with my wife. Civic, Corolla, Versa, Sentra, Sonata, Impreza, Forte, Mazda 3. Sentra was the worst of the bunch in literally every way.

>Exterior
Lazy design. Clearly just making each car a smaller version of the car above it without any thought.
>Interior
Cheaply made, crap materials. Made tons of noise even for a brand new car. Only the Forte was even close to how bad the quality was here.
>Road test
Drove like crap. Struggled up a modestly steep hill. Felt every single bump in the road. Handled like a car with twice the weight.

Really had no redeeming qualities. In to if that the Nissan dealer was day and away the worst one we went to. I know this isn't entirely Nissan's fault but they are supposed to set the standard for their dealers. Staff was horrible, even though it was the slowest dealer (on memorial day no less) they acted like they couldn't be bothered to help and were generally just pushy and rude. They didn't have even a single 370 in stock new or used for me to look at, and they had a single GT-R (the area we were in was a wealthy suburb of DC for reference) which was behind a chain so no one could even touch it, let alone sit in it. The Mercedes dealer next door, meanwhile, had every AMG trimmed car offered by Mercedes completely in the open in the front lot, unlocked, even that crazy v12 they offer.

Really just horrible, Renault ruined Nissan. The Sentra and the service was so poor that it knocked the 370 off of my own list of potential choices.

Side note: she went with the Civic for her own reasons but I enjoyed it as well. Really a good return to form from Honda. Handled much more nimble as a Civic should and felt a lot more trim and tight compared to the last couple generations. It felt like a 90s Civic with modern parts, build quality, and functionality.

If you think you can get a focus RS for 36000 you are out of your fucking mind.

Tried to get one last year in august when i was looking for a car. Two ford dealers in my area, one had already sold their single allotted RS for the year. and the other dealer quoted me 45650 before tax and title on the base model in grey. I asked why so much more than msrp, he said we only got offered two to order and everyone wants them so thats the price if i want it, I told him to get fucked.

So who buys nissans nowadays anyways
All of their cars are so massively outclassed by everyone else in the game. Like with Infiniti, why would anyone EVER pick them over a Lexus?

>>17338222
Most of them are cheap. I see so many versa notes and sentras on the road these days.

>>17338222
Poor people with horrible credit scores that nobody else will take

They're the new Mitsubishi, now that Mitsu basically doesn't exist

>>17338222
today I passed 6 nissans in a row just thought that was interesting. it's probably because they are cheaper than the competition and a lot of people just care about getting the cheapest car or truck in any given class of cars. also it's japanese and not korean so a lot of people assume it's quality.

Chevy doesn't do that with their trucks. The Colorado has the Duramax option in the "extended" cab (though I could only seem to option it in in the ZR2), and the 2500 regular cab has the duramax option. Unless you're seeing something I'm not

Look on the bright side at least the CEO stepped down a couple months ago, so who knows, maybe in another five years the effect he had on the company will have dissipated and they'll make cool, fun cars again. Haha, just kidding, Renault will strangle Nissan for every penny it can get, because why make good cars when you can make shitty cars but sell more because they're cheaper?

Vk56 is probably the best V8 to come out of Japan.

>>17338222
Checked.
I went from a 2008 is350 to a 2011 G37, prefer the infiniti cuz manual and it has a lsd. So, there's 2 good reasons right there. I did like the interior of the Lexus more though.

>>17338913
Kia now is what Hyundai was in the 90s and 2000s. When Hyundai decided to have sweeping corporate overhauls in the late 00s and early 10s they decided they needed a stronger separation of branding between Hyundai and Kia in order to stop cannibalizing sales from each brand which only raises costs for the same amount of revenue. They decided to make Kia the "young, hip, inexpensive" brand and Hyundai the more moderate "adult" brand. Current Hyundai is similar in terms of quality to the other major manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota, etc. whereas Kia is still lower end overall but with more youthful styling. This separation also paved the way for the emergence of the Genesis brand for Hyundai.

Keep this in mind when you see "car guys" both here on /o/ and in the real world bashing Hyundai and Korean cars in general (since all Korean originated cars in the USA at least are owned by the same brand both statements are equivalent) that they're horribly misinformed about real, current car information and are simply holding on to ideas that were true ten years ago, but no longer. I've seen this in many places, specifically when people talk about the GenCoupe. People immediately begin by bashing its origin and manufacturer without considering that over time brands change their quality (see: Nissan) and image.

So to answer your question more succinctly, it's both Kia getting slightly better by virtue of Hyundai putting a higher focus on quality overall (even on the lower end brand) while Nissan has been falling behind thanks to Renault taking over most of the decision making processes at Nissan with their focus 100% on the bottom line versus quality and customer experience.

They should tho. Ideally marketing should make people desire things even if they can't have them. Although this doesn't apply to luxury products because they're already pricey hence why brands like BMW and Mercedes-benz have their cheapest ones first on catalog but show you any model on first page. Ideally people that can afford luxury products will seek to escalate
