Renault has had a reputation for poor quality, and as such has really tarnished Nissan's name in recent years.
I am super big Nissan fan boy, but I can't even recommend anyone a Nissan who is interested due to their quality as of recent.
New cars Leaking Oil, CVT's failing, etc. It just doesn't make much sense when there are more reliable options on the market.
In any case, so many of these Japanese manufacturers have gotten modern sports cars wrong.
Toyota using Subaru and BMW engines in their recent sports oriented vehicles.
Mitsubishi gone.
Although, Honda has done good by the Type R, and I believe Mazda has done a pretty good job at keeping the Miata fresh.
Subaru, just seemingly hasn't done much.
I personally would love if Nissan would build a car to the standards they did of years past, that reflected the core of the Z brand.
There are many components of what defined the Z car, but to name a few that are most important to me: head turning body styling,
extreme reliability, simplicity of design vs competing products with similar specs, a distinct engine sound, reasonable price point,
driving top priority, interior junk secondary, rear wheel drive.
The 370z isn't perfect, and I don't think it's successor would need to be either. I do believe however if Nissan could pull off a new Z
car with a lot of the core values present, it could rekindle the nissan enthusiast for years to come. And for gods sake don't put a German
engine or a Renault engine/CVT combo as the power plant 😉

I love that new Altima no generation of Altima has never disappointed me Camry ages like whole milk Altima ages like a fine wine Accord well new ones looks disappointing and has a design that needs to getting used to.
I love gtr????
I wish nissan will not replace the juke to kicks they should just add it!
will the new design of altima arrive in Philippines???
Mazda 6s are Nissan maximum sport
As a current Juke owner, nope to the kicks. If it had the same engine with turbo and Awd as my Juke a possible contender. I feel the engine will have to be flogged to get it moving especially on the freeways
Very sad ?
What a nice GTR. Cheers
The new kicks might kick our Juke that is still selling here in Philippines hooe it bring good thinhs that we want
We already git the Nisaan Terra our country is the 2nd country that got this All New SUV
That car is hideous, looks like an abandon catfish.
(2:24) So FINALLY, Nissan is "having b@lls" with them and building a NEW XTERRA, as is most likely to be called in NoAm their new Navara-based SUV. I would expect more output for a US-spec version, so either a T-2.5L I4 or a version of the newer T-3.0L V6 (the detuned version w/300hp on the Infiniti Q50 / 60) or maybe both. Don't discount the Cummins 2.8L I4 TD (after a long US-EPA evaluation period) either.
(8:20) GRAPHICS CORRECTION: The Kicks crossover (already on sale in US) power output (125/115) is correct, but it's a NATURALLY ASPIRATED 1.6L (the turbo would've had 188/170, like in the Sentra Turbo and NisMo and the US-spec Juke, while it was on sale). Think of it as a modernized version of the older 105-115hp versions of the same sized engine on older-tech Nissans.
I love the altima interior
Hope that's not r36 it's ugly and way to expensive
