17 years ago when the market collapsed, I thought Mazda being a small automobile manufacturer had no future but they just been thriving
They are no longer part of the ford umbrella that’s why
they got some good quality, nissan has no good quality their rogue price tag is just crazy high for something you will need to make heavy repairs to at 150k
Because of Toyota, Toyota bailed Mazda out of bankruptcy.
Not true actually.
@@dennishughes721No. Mazda bought themselves out before they even got with Toyota, and the small 5% toyota owns of mazda is only worth sharing parts. Literally Mazda is the only manufacturer Japan has always refused to bail out, and yet they're doing better now regardless. Can't say the same for Nissan or Mitsubishi who did get bailed out by Gov. money. Toyota takes care of themselves.
I remember when they where just saying Toyota was wrong for choosing hybrids over full evs
they are literally losing market share in the largest auto market China to byd and others
@@mcsike7264 lmao all foreign automakers are losing marketshare in china due to fervent nationalism and jingoism promoted by CCP. And as Kirk and others have mentioned countless times, Toyota does not rely as much on China sales as General Motors, Europeans even compared to Honda and Nissan. Nice attempt at spinning though.

@@mcsike7264Who gives a shit? Everyone except Chinese are losing market share in China.
I would too if they gave me a ev for 10k vs a regular car id take that one since everyone got no money
I trust Toyota more than any other brand.
Mazda needs to be given props. A small manufacturer like them has always managed to stay afloat. Back in the financial crisis, when Ford nearly went belly up and sold its shares, a small brand like Mazda should’ve went defunct, and yet here they are.
Mazda engineering is top notch and quality conscious. I enjoy their style and driving characteristics over Toyota.
@@kurtgrundel4045Me too. Toyota is still good, but Mazda takes it to craftsmanship level.
The world as a whole bought 75.3 million new cars in 2023… the toyota group was responsible for 11.2 million of them. 1 in almost 7 cars bought was a toyota product.
N it was the same story last year. 1 in almost 7 cars bought in 2022 was a toyota product.
Holy fck.
But real players are only Toyota, VW, Hyundai-Kia
Nissan's merger with Renault was a mistake.....it ruined the Japanese quality imago of Nissan.
In hindsight, yes, the RNM Alliance can be safely called a mistake. But back then Nissan was on the verge of extinction due to debt, and Renault buying them was a life-saver.
Renault's financial help prompted Nissan to launch many good products, such as the 350Z/370Z, GT-R, FX, G, M. None of those would've existed without Renault's financial backup.
@@philhenderson3516 but you make money with a Sunny, Micra, etc etc. They, Renault, neglected these segments, at least in Europe.
Exactly they are seen as a French car with a Japanese badge here in Europe now.
@@avdp9095 I think the mistake was in Nissan not looking for ways to become independent once they became profitable and could pay Renault back. Mazda bought itself out from Ford and it has done wonders for them, I think Nissan should've attempted to do the same. Problem is, I don't think Renault had any interest in letting go of Nissan and that's probably why everything has gone downhill for both. Too much internal contention.
Maybe it's bias, I'm seeing so many Toyotas on the road, where before they were pretty rare in my neck of the woods. They are killing it in Europe.
you are probably confusing toyota with hyundais. toyota caught up and now has same marketshare as hyundai in EU. but Hyundai still is ahead in extended european region
@@uludak8468 Well, both. Hyundai's and Kia's are everywhere as well, but that's less surprising.
Maybe when a customer buys a new car, they don't want to pay another $10,000 every 10 years for a new transmission?
Who knew?
10 years? More like 2-5 years depending on how much you drive. Toyota is the way to go if you don't wanna get hit with a $10,000 repair bill or get left stranded in the middle of nowhere at 1am at night waiting for a tow truck.
Toyota is killing it!!!!!
They're actually killing themselves.
@@dangrass Ah yes, not bowing down to neo-Nazi 'environmentalist' propaganda is a sure path to suicide.
Who would think people rather buy reliable cars
Reliable with 5 minute 'recharge' of fuel tank.
It makes me sad that Nissan can’t compete.
Me too.
Upcoming Armada and Kicks will hopefully help them. Bring back the XTerra Nissan.
Nissans problem is self inflicted. Go to any major dealer lot no matter the brand. You will find 2021-2023 Altimas and Sentras on the lot with low milage and if you check the carfax they will all be former rental cars. Why buy a new one even at discount when you can get a gently used one for cheaper?
@@KirkKreifels until Nissan succeeds in staying away from too much fleet sales, the future is still looking bleak
I like Nissan, they used to be a great auto manufacturers, in the 80-90
Coming from someone in the automotive industry I can tell you that Nissan has huge inventory on most of its lots. Like triple digit inventory!
I’m also in the industry and the nearest two Nissan dealers have had low inventory for months while the ford dealer NEXT DOOR is overflowing with inventory.
Nissan has that ARC Strategy. Let’s let that kick in and see how it goes. So far, every model in the upcoming ARC lineup is what Nissan needs to make a comeback. And Nissan is doing well in the rest of the world.
if you look at the new Toyota products coming out, they are all priced above competition. Toyota is cashing in on their reputation for reliability. It's like MSRP hardly matters if you are buying a product that lasts for decades and holds it value really well. Their profit margins must be huge!
Gotta laugh at the comments way back when some said “tOyOtA iS gOiNg OuT oF bUsInEsS”
Well they do have the largest debt in the world out of any corporation totaling nearly 200 billion and they still haven’t got on electric vehicles

@@miraphycs7377So the NC construction for Toyota on the battery plant along with the leaked TX and ES plans are a rouse? Kind of an odd play to call that out.
I think once the new battery factory that will supply battery packs for Toyota's burgeoning hybrid models goes online later this year, Toyota's lead will get even bigger. Especially now they dominate the compact and standard-size sedan markets here in the USA with the Corolla and Camry models.
i love toyota been thinking to buy one i will start buying stock untill i have enough to cash out pay taxes and buy one right out.

The New Kicks should be a relative hit for Nissan. They should sell the Sentra SR in the USA with the manual transmission (like they do in Canada) and try to go back to their econo-enthusiast roots. Also, the Nissan Leaf was relatively popular for those wanting a cheap EV. They should have done more with the Leaf, including maybe making a hybrid version. They've made lots of mistakes, but I hope they can survive and rebound someday.
I drove my nissan frontier for nearly 13 yrs and log 238k miles and still was able to sell it for 5k, I like nissan engine , I am presently driving a versa 2012 now 12 yrs old 200k miles still have original everything but brakes and tires and lately catalytic converter, the cheapest car when I bought it 12 yrs ago, however this time around I don't trust nissan CVT transmission as they are notoriously bad , why continue with this CVT that is BAD

I have owned my Toyota for nearly 18 years, and I will buy a Toyota for my next vehicle. Nissan needs to invest in hybrids or their problems will not disappear!
Toyota is doing well with most unibody vehicles. When you look at body on frame vehicles. Trucks SUVs etc, they have lost their damn minds with their pricing and options. I'm very disappointed with toyota in this regard.

I loved my RX's, but when I decided to get a new car, my choice was between the NX and the CX50, and the value for the money on the CX50 was what sold me on it. I also owned an RX-7 back in the late eighties until the mid-nineties, so I've always been a Mazda fan.
This December will be two years that I've been driving my CX-50, and it just seems to get better and better the longer I drive it. I'm very happy with the build quality! It's been a very solid car so far! I'm happy with my choice!:)
Grew up on Nissans, It really hurts my heart to see them struggling. I'll say they came a long way from near bankruptcy, but they still put themselves in this situation, I can only hype them up for so long
Nissan needs to get their heads out of their ass and get back to what we loved about them in the 90s..!
Toyota was absolutely spot-on to go hybrid over pure EV. I look at current EV technologies and unless things change drastically, I will not buy a pure EV anytime in the foreseeable future. When built-in thorium reactors (or some other transfer of clean energy) can recharge EV batteries on the fly, I'll reconsider.
Toyota does not preferre Hybrid above EV at all..... . They only see different solutions for different markets. They invest almost 100 billion in EV transition and production methods, artificial intelligence and gigacasting.... .
@@avdp9095which is precisely how a company should run, but the clowns running other companies thought they could sell off of someone else’s homework and it would be the same. As if its the newest smartphone coming out. They jumped on the bandwagon way too quickly 😂
@@Anomize23 spot on. But the real problem, hete in Europe, Brussels..... . Left wing parties in Brussels wants a swift transition to EV no matter what it cost.....Generation Z support this, because they are clueless, brainless.... . So they are forcing us in EV'S, VW was glad with this because it was a distraction from their Dieselgate.... .so it started 4 years ago... . And now we have a tidal wave comi g of first Generation Bev's, all obese, to much weight, not enough range, to expensive but at least they don't polute....according to the Green 'terrorists' in Brussels and that Greta monster, xr rebellion. An Ev does polute and its lifespan is 1/3 of an Ice hybrid....it doesn't matter for Brussel. We are forced into an EV.
Toyota's problem is that their strategy is spot on but their message is not heard....or misread by biased media....

At this point I have no interest at all to buy a EV,I would never want to deal with range anxiety and these charging stations long line ups on holiday weekends. Phev I’m in ,or hybird or a real fuel efficient ICE vehicle.
I love how the Japanese are always one generation behind, while the Germans are doing horrible interiors with digital climate the Japanese are copying the Germans previous generation interiors with actual functional buttons and understanding that we care about driving dynamics I have a new Accord and I have accepted in my heart that even though it’s a hybrid it does offer the joy of driving the one time on the road I was in a situation where I needed my car to be a Honda not a dumb hybrid it succeeded. I’m about to be 24 years old and I’m so happy I haven’t fallen into the debt trap via 3 series/C class. I’ve driven both of those cars. The new C is a violent disappointment. The 3 is to tight in the front and ZERO rear space in the back.

I'll never buy a BMW or Audi or Benz. I don't want a car that breaks down every month, no thanks
The exception to the rule on the German side is BMW because they studied and implemented a lot of the quality management practices of Toyota while still producing a distinctly German vehicle.
I only know about the Z Nismo which I was ready to buy until I saw no adaptive ride, no full leather like the GTR gets, no manual. I said no way to it and there are 2 sitting and not selling within 50 miles of me.
Mainly due to the fact that they didn't jump into the ev bandwagon
That's smart from Toyota. All other companies were like "We Will Go BEV"; Toyota is like "Everything for Everyone!" (BTW Toyota did say that Lexus would go full BEV, but will it really happen?)
Yup. Imagine all the resources other makers wasted on developing EV that could have instead been used to put out a superior ICE product.

Avoid the new Honda 1.5t engines. They're blowing head gaskets at an alarming rate.
Here in Dallas, Nissan dealers are selling new 2024 Nissan Sentra for $4000 under MSRP. On the other hand, Toyota dealers are still selling new 2024 Toyota Corollas for over MSRP. Fire sale indeed!!
2008 US gov't bailout of Ford and GM. Ford and GM CEOs: We will never rest on our laurels again. This will never happen again.
Laugh my fcking ass off at that statement. GM has had crappy CEOs for the last 50yrs and nothing has changed. Marry Barra is one of the worst CEOs of GM. It’s only been sales sinking since she became CEO. And Ford (who actually did avoid bailout) had idiots as their last CEO and the current one. Heck, Jim Farley downsized Ford’s strongest asset which was their dominance in the European market. Losers.
GM announced earlier that Chevrolet is discontinuing the Malibu. Very sad and bad planning to replace it with another EV.
No wonder Toyota dealers near me are pretty much near empty with lots of customers going in while the Nissans' dealers are full of vehicles especially Altimas. My local Toyota dealers don't do markups and sometimes under MSRP I guess that helps.
what part of the country are you in? Where I live the lot is mostly full; tacomas, tundras, SUV's. The only thing I don't see them really have in stock are cars. They also charge above MSRP

I would consider a Nissan as I had a few rentals and quite liked them. However when I bought a Micra for my mom I had a really bad dealer experience at delivery so at this point I’m turned off from the brand. Of course if I spoke to a dealer they’ll swear up and down to give them another chance but at this point the trust is gone.

I'm in the market for a new Toyota after switching to another brand that I won't name back in early 2023. I've never been so excited to get a new Toyota which is a brand thats known for having boring cars lol.
Nissans such a dog. Totally lost me when the killed the IDX. New Z is unaffordable, underwhelming, with a glass transmission. R35 unattainable. 0 passion and attractiveness in their lineup. They're a predatory loan factory.
I sell Toyotas in the great state of Maine, and for some people Toyota is an aspirational brand. Most people would rather buy a low trim Toyota, then a fully loaded Nissan because it’s a smart choice.
I'm shopping for a new vehicle and at the top of my list is the 2025 Camry; however, as they are now trickling into dealerships, Redditors are posting window stickers showing markups of $5k over MSRP. Based on the information in this video, Toyota has no incentive to "make a deal" since people are gladly paying the markup price on these vehicles. My next option is the 2024 Sonata. I know Hyundai's reliability is not on par with Toyota, but I only drive about 6,000 miles a year.
Look at Kelly blue book. Set range to 400-500 miles. I find them 3k below msrp if you are willing to drive a bit. In some models I see up to 6k below msrp. Just gotta be willing to go out of your way. Make sure to look at the state sales tax if you buy out of state.
About three years ago, Japanese government wanted Honda and Toyota to buy out Renault’s share of Nissan. I never heard anything else about this potential buyout. Many decades ago, Nissan (Datsun) was actually much larger than Toyota.
As a consumer that wants to buy a Grand Highlander someday, I hope the supply increases quite a bit in the next 2-3 years.
Otherwise I feel like dealerships may try to sell them for a lot more than they are worth when I need to buy one. Even a used one.
Honestly, if you could get a new versa for $14,500, it would be a great buy
You know for all us og Nissan fans this is mind boggling. Nissan used to have the cooler cars and they were usually as lil faster too. I had an m37 on 20s and it was so noice. I remember the breath of fresh air the 350z was with the accompanying g35 and g37. Good times but what's mind freaking boggling is they had the freaking Nissan leaf from 2010 and just dropped the ball.
What’s more mind boggling is that they hostile took over Mitsubishi Motors, then cancelled Mitsubishi’s EV projects, which included an EV Mirage, EV Outlander, EV city car, and an EV Triton. Then they took that technology to Nissan, and totally dropped the ball. I don’t know any dumber moves than what Nissan has been doing for the last 4yrs.

Would you recommend buying Nissan Ariya? It has no CVT, and has recently dropped its prices...
Thanks!
All Nissan has to do is get rid of CVT, but I don’t understand why they are insist on putting CVT in pretty much every car they made. And they have to come up with hybrids.
Nissan offers a slew of e-power models in other markets, so it's quite puzzling, if not concerning, that they choose not to offer any in the US. Is there something inherently wrong with the technology that's to blame why they're not bringing it to the highly regulated but also highly litigious US? Because it simply doesn't make sense that they're struggling this badly, with market conditions ripe for hybrid offerings, yet they are steadfast in their flawed strategy.
The e-power is coming to the US but not for at least two years. They’re going to be too late to the game.
Nissan has made 2 mistakes in the past 30 years. 1st mistake was changing name from Datsun to Nissan and 2nd mistake was getting purchased by Chrysler instead of fighting against Honda and Toyota like in the 80s
Nissan has never been a part of Chrysler.
You’re thinking Renault, not Chrysler. That was technically Mitsubishi.
@@John-kx3ng you are right.
Lol. They would've been dead a decade ago if Chrysler had bough them...
Hopefully the murano shows up with a hybrid? The kicks is about to go on sale but no hybrid. The altima been on sale simce 2018 as a 2019. Nossan will show the new armada soon...
They.ready shows the game plan. Idm why everyone is acting as if the news will be different in 1 month when Nissan said when to expect certain technologies lol. Next year as a 2026 mostly with a few product launches within the next year...
Nissan has an image problem and I think it stems from the "average Altima driver" memes. No one wants to be associated with that, and buying a Nissan opens them up to that roasting.
Bingo!
I avoid every Nissan on the road except their trucks. I’m worried I’m going to get hit or robbed.
They all suck and are generic slow cars. The only thing worth purchasing from either company is the gtr that’s outdated and to expensive and the Supra that’s really a bmw z4 with a Toyota tune and trans tune mixed with some visuals. The rest are regular traffic bought and sold under the reliability clause at the cost of slow weak output motors just to look like every other dick and Jane on the road in America which is some none America activities that support somebody else’s economy.
@@JamaicanMeCrazyi never known Nissan to sell any of their vehicles in Latain America with a CVT except for now the Kicks and Versa ..
Nissan doesn’t even offer any of their N. American vehicles to any Latian / Caribbean countries.. And Jamaica doesn’t get the Rogue .. They get the X Trail that has an A/T so I dont know what youre talking about .. The March, Note, and other Japanese vehicles that are imported to the Caribbean islands all have A/T transmissions and also reliable furthermore I don’t think Jamaica gets any of the newer Nissan vehicles yet alone Infiniti
People feel like Nissan/Infiniti is a dying company, so no one wants buy.
I’m very close to buying a top spec Nissan X Trail E Power… it seems to be a really good and better specced car in comparison to the older RAV4 and new CRV here in Australia. Always owned Toyota’s before but can’t wait another 12-18 months for the next RAV4. Any reason I should not get the Nissan?
Nissan continues to struggle with brand identity. Why would a consumer ever pick Nissan over any other brand. They aren’t the most reliable (Toyota & Honda), they don’t have the most tech for less (Hyundai & Kia), they don’t have the nicest interiors (Mazda), and they don’t have a loyal following (Subaru). They might be the most vanilla out of all of the Asian brands which is probably why rental fleets love them so much.
Mitsubishi meanwhile...
@@KirkKreifels lol Mitsubishi’s problem is that the North American market isn’t their most important market, SE Asia is and what they everywhere else wouldn’t appeal to American tastes because they’re smaller with much slower engines. And it’s hard to make more American specific vehicles when we’re 3rd in sales for them.
I did and no regrets. To each their own. I loved the regular Highlander but it’s an outdated turbo now. No thanks! 😂
Honda is the most boring looking Cara to me now. Sorry...
Hi Kirk,

Mitsubishi is supposed to come out with its North American future product information very soon, they need a few vehicles to dave the.brand.
The 2024 Pathfinder already has 2 recalls. The owner satisfaction score according to consumer reports is very low. People should absolutely not buy the Pathfinder, I don't know why you are recommending it Kirk.

Toyota/Lexus is def killing the ICE/Hybrid market!! Very smart to update with new models across their entire product line to last the next 6-7 years until 2030 until they go completely EV!
They will go ev dependingvthe market.... in Europe, Northern Europe, probably from 2030 100% EV.....Southern Europe, mayby from 2030 onwards with full EV in 2040 or so. South Africa, South America, they have not the infrastructure for full EV.....same for major parts of India, Russia, Asia......
I just want Toyota to make reliable and affordable vehicles
Whos still buying the the part shortage excuse used to explain the current very low Toyota days supply numbers despite being now almost halfway 2024? I sense an intentionally limited production strategy intended to avoid incentivising discounts below MSRP and the need to sell more volume. They want to make sure people have fewer options hence leading people to pay the full MSRP. Even if you wait til 2025 or 2026, dealers will still be asking you to be on a waiting list for a standard Toyota model.
The better Toyota does, the more sick cars they can make. Really excited for the SFR and others!
What I would do if I were in charge of nissan:
-get rid of the infamous CVT
-discontinue the Altima and Rogue to make way for a new fastback Mitsubishi Galant and tough Nissan XTERRA
-market the Versa as a compact “working class car” and revive the hatchback variant (without the Note nickname)
-market the Sentra as Nissan’s family sedan, offer AWD and an off road variant to give Subaru a taste of what they’re throwing away
-make the New Kicks have a more down-sloped hood
-Frontier and Pathfinder would basically be stablemates
I have not seen anything at Nissan Dealerships that looks like they want to sell at invoice
Nissan crossover and SUV models with their V6 have all been excellent. They are being totally let down by their dogshit 4 cylinder and now 3 cylinder cars like Juke, Rouge, and their sedans aren't great either. It looks like they aren't expecting to be a juggernaut in the hybrid business and are mostly going straight from I.C.E. cars to EV's.
In a way there is a bright side for Nissan in the long run. The vehicles that they have reworked since Ghosn sent himself same day shipping have been successful, so if they can survive long enough to rework the rest of their lineup they could be good again...right?
Their new pathfinder can go anywhere commercial is a joke
Maybe if Nissan made their current crop like they used to make the 2005 FX35 I’d be interested
Cool
The new Patrol/Armada will give Toyota a really hard time to say the least.
So what about buying used Nissan EVs? It would be used so you wouldn't take that big of a hit on depreciation compared to buying new and there's no CVT so that wouldn't be an issue.
As a lifelong Nissan fan, it hurts my heart to see what’s happening. Unless Nissan makes some serious changes, and quick, people like me are going to be switching to Toyota.
Nissan has the ARC Strategy. They’ll be fine.
Looks like Nissan is "killing it" too
TOKYO (AP) - Nissan’s profit for the fiscal year through March jumped 92% to 426.6 billion yen ($2.7 billion) as sales grew in all major global markets except China, the Japanese automaker said Thursday.
Annual sales surged nearly 20% to 12.7 trillion yen ($81.5 billion), Nissan Motor Co. said.
The first three quarters of FY24 were good to them. FY25 I'm worried for the Nissan... and Tesla, etc.
Yeah, they are selling e-power in every other country except the US.
Sienna production going back to Japan Kirk?
We'll see!
They're going to need that head start now that they are replacing the V6 with turbo 4 banger
Toyota has downgraded their production forecast and profit because of Daihatsu scandal and huge investments in bev production and models.
Someone on youtube said the fact that Nissan is owned by Renault means the Nissan products have a lot of Renault parts in them which is a BAD thing because French cars are poorly designed and unreliable.
“Down in Europe” 💀💀💀
But Nissan, Mazda and Subaru have similar principles regarding electrification, yet Mazda and Subaru are very successful. That is Carlitos’ legacy based on cheap, mediocre and basic engineering. Every time I see a Versa I remember that.
Mistake # 1 by Nissan (Japanese Chrysler). Nissan should have kept the brand name Datsun in the U.S.! You lost me at the brand name Nissan. What the hell were they thinking.
