Why Is Nissan Turning silly And Lame

[craig V8 taffe]

Nissan's latest marketing tactic is to join up with ecko clothing...

I bet this idea came from some machiato sipping advertising homo..

[AzzurrA]

quite possibly because of the target audience for these cars.....

reanult sux..................that is all

[mad082]

they are designing them for the US market, so what they will do is tune them so that they run so rich that they will need a water pump as a fuel pump, since them yanks like big fuel drinking cars.

and notice how they are are only doing the SUVs. i think the yanks rate a car on the following things,

1. which uses the most fuel

2. which is the heaviest

3. which has the worst handling

4. how many lanes it can occupy at once

5. how stupid they look when pimped out.

I remember the glory days:

The 180B, the 200B, the 120Y, the Pintara, the Exa, the Stanza.

Happy days, happy days.

Yep, I particularly hate the way they bailed out & turned around a company that was rapidly going broke. Personally, I will never forgive them for that.

On the perfromance front Id Rather them go broke than release ship loads of Tiidas into the world

god damn frenchies

Another remarkably eloquent display of xenophobia. Nice work.

Just because the Tiida is yet another third rate povvo pack small car, sold in this instance is by some third rate American slapper, does that make it any worse than the last generation of Pulsars?

The history of Nissan/Datsun is predominantly one of producing what, in all fairness have been remarkably crap cars. There have been some exceptions - the Z's, a few of the 180/200SX/Sylvia line and some Skylines. Most of what ws good was spawned from the 901 project/business plan/call it what you will. It created some brilliant cars, but left the company in an awful state.

[kralster]

I think it's good nissan is now run by a foreign company cos if they japanese still had it.. well there would be no nissan.

[xRHETTx]

Yeah alot of people hear just think about the turbo Skylines and Silvias when they think of Nissan.

They don't think about the CA18E powered 4 door GX Skylines etc that are crap cars too.

[Busky2k]

Nissan went broke because its not just us fanbois that buy their cars. We'd probably make up like 1% of their total sales and the rest of the population didn't like em. *shakes fist at neighbour*

[Rezz]

Geezuz would you listen to you people? I bet none of you even read the article...

"Nissan's North American division has announced a plan to co-develop a range of vehicles based on existing models with street-style clothing designer, Marc Ecko."

Who cares what they do in North American Nissan dealerships?

[racsov500]

isnt there a new leader at nissan japan? who wants to focus on the GTR
