Thread: Nissan about to drop the ball again

Actually it is projected to come to the states. My Nissan USA Letter said so lol

Anyways, I seriously doubt we will get the 3 cylinder engine. The March in Japan is a 3 Cylinder HR12DE, and here we got it with 4 cylinder HR16DE.

My family owned a 96 Maxima that just wouldn't die and I have owned a 1998 200sx 1.6l. Though it was similar to 99 SE-L. Thing is 99 SE-L was built in 98 or with 98 parts. I have owned three 2000 G20's, and now 01 Sentra. I must say that the 01 Sentra is more modern designed, but I can't speak for the overall quality.

Our 2000+ SR20's got weaker engines/valvetrains, they got crappy MAF's that die very often, IACV's die often and need a rain dance or $80 Dealer idle relearn, surprisingly manual transmissions became stronger, but AT's went down hill (unless 1990's AT's where just as bad). A coworker has an 02 Maxima that has been nothing but issues. MAF has definitely been a bad on too.

I'm going with a hyundai or a kia, at least those guys know how to make a decent car.

I'm just not gonna buy a newer car.... lol I don't like payments anyways as I have learned so no point and I'll just keep what I like. Old and classy

Further you go back in Nissan/Dastun/Prince (ever herd of the Zero fighter, yeah scared the crap out of our pilots) history the more reliable you get.

I just loled at this. Just rofl.

smh kyle.

Glad you could laugh at it @Vex630

The Zero was made by Mitsubishi.

They should have called this a GTi-R successor. You can't produce something to fight the BRZ/FR-S without RWD. Umm I saw this report earlier today but I'm trying to stay positive about it. If they bring it over with AWD and a turbo 1.6 I'd consider it.

Nissan dropped the ball when they cancelled the S16 project before the BRZ and FR-S were out. Toyota/Subaru got a great head start.

Nissan design decisions have been disappointing me as of late. A Z that can't handle hot laps on a track, The Juke AWD doesn't come manual, The new Altima has no manual option. The Murano Convertible (COME ON NOW!). A G line that doesn't look as great as the previous design.

The only Nissans I'm digging right now are the Infiniti M, Xterra, Frontier, Maxima, and 370Z( I still like it but its a damn shame it can't handle track laps).

imho, with only 1 exception, Nissan has been producing UGLY ASS cars for a long time. this will only continue their tradition. who gives a shiiet about drive-train or suspension if you can't look past the skin?? thanks Renault;(
