Hopefully they’ll stay afloat. They’re a lot more affordable than the other Japanese competition. It’s what most of my family drives.
But yeah, I can see they aren’t doing so well. My mom just bought a new rogue and the dealer was a ghosn town. Compared to the few Toyota dealers we visited, which were fully packed and staffed with a dozen people. The Toyota managers were also really unwilling to budge on their trade in offers and deals. I mean 7% APR for people with excellent credit? Fuck off with that. Nissan was practically tripping over themselves with deals. It’s the only place offering 0% APR, my dad loved that.
I know the cvt woes scared people away, but just about everyone else is using a cvt at this point too. Subaru, Toyota, Chevy, etc. Hopefully Nissan has gotten those issued sorted out by now.
I dunno, I like my old Altima and my mom’s new rogue is pretty nice inside. Their newer stuff seems a lot nicer than what it was over the last 10 years though.
Can’t speak for the reliability, but we haven’t had any major issues yet. We’ve got two cars that are 20+years old, my mom’s old car was 12 years old before she traded it in for a few one.
Their V6 and their non CVT autos seem to be pretty bulletproof but those are fairly old designs iirc. I havent been in anything super new but yea I havent liked their newerish interiors at all. Hopefully theyve changed. I do like the exterior look of the new frontiers

If they want to stay afloat then they should simply make a good product. They aren’t particularly nice to be in and aren’t particularly reliable

Everyone makes CVTs, correct. Nissan is just particularly terrible at it, with Mercedes not far behind. They were lasting literal weeks in some cases.
