    Nissan has been through a lot lately: the ousting of disgraced CEO Carlos Ghosn, to laying off over 12,000 employees, to complaints (by me) that their lineup is stale and uninspired. But with rumors of a new 400z sports car on the way, it’s time to reflect on what the company has done to right the ship.
    WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

      Thing is, other manufacturers saw the economy heading up and started releasing cars for enthusiasts again. Even Toyota who for many years only had the Corolla S which is just a body kit. Nissan sat on their thumbs and dug their heels into the crossover market while people, with cash in hand, were begging them to produce something for the enthusiasts.
      Remember the Nissan 510 concept cars that got so much hype? They were so close to getting green lit but instead they released a goddamn convertible hatchback! Meanwhile, Toyota, Subaru and Hyundai sold a bunch of their budget rwd coupes in the same market Nissan said wasn't viable anymore.
      I really hope the rumor that a base model 4cylnder Z is true. As long as a Manual transmission is offered, I wouldn't mind paying less for a cool car today with engine swap options for the future.

    I think what made them successful in the 90’s/early 2000’s was exactly “having a fun car for every price level”. Bring back the S-chassis to compete with the BRZ, update the Z-chassis to compete with pony cars and the supra, and keep the R35 GTR as it’s just so iconic. Also, Nissans are starting to look better with the latest designs, but a lot of the models from the past decade where... ugly. Affordability certainly should be a part of their formula - but don’t let it be your only selling point because then everyone sees the brand as junk.

    • @ixm2unvrz
      @ixm2unvrz 4 года назад

      I think moving up the GT-R name to more of a supercar/hypercar class and then move the Z to the GT-R's class. The S-chassis would be facing against the BRZ/GT86
      Also I used to be a GT-R fanboy here so don't flame me yet but personally a slightly affordable mid engined GT-R is a good idea. There seems to be a market for something like the C8 Corvette going on

    Here’s an idea for Nissan get rid of everything and do this.
    Rename your self Datsun and stick to the line up bread and butter
    2 sedans ( remodel them to also be hatchbacks)
    2 coupe s , one with big power (z line) and one entry level (Silvia ?)
    1 cuv hybrid
    1 suv
    1 work truck
    1 super car
    Offer nismo versions for everything, do like Hyundai and develop a reliable engine and shove it in every model (1.6t gdi)
    That’s it , leave infinity to be the luxury version of the models and keep Datsun as the sporty , young , enthusiast minded brand

The electric drive train is probably the one area they have a slight advantage. I'd love to see a new 400z but I think they should put more into their gasoline powered electrics. Perhaps a competitor to the Honda Civic. Something that can switch modes from economical to sports mode easily. It would just sell more.

Because of that I've owned a Civic Si, scion FRS, and now a 2019 Mustang GT. I had planned to remain loyal to Nissan, but THEY failed me!!!!

      I'm sorry dude, but it is grammatically correct already, you shouldn't say "Your Welcome" but instead "You're Welcome", because "You're" is a contraction of "You Are", which is how you originally say "You are Welcome".

      @@theiridiumgamer5225 I'm aware of that. But this title is only a "Beta" title if you get me. For example the Hot Wheels video was titled "How a guitar string saved Hot Wheels". But now it has a different title.

    I never thot I'd get a Hyundai But i got the new version of the Veloster , the 2020 Veloster Turbo Ultimate (black on Red, tinted windows...all i need for now).... its amazing in so many ways.. The N is something to look forward too but omg They are not way they used to be cheapy used/ rental road roamin turds.. It looks good, it sounds good, its comfy, utilitarian, Smart(sooo many features), and Very Unique ppl askinh or lookin all the time about it. I'm letting my warranty run its course before i tune it to push towards 300hp but im very happy with my 0-80 freak with good fuel efficiency when chillin... Never would of thought but other companies stopped making what I wanted or their sports commuters were WAYY to expensive, and the bank doesnt own one bit of it..mine :].. Nice Hyundai Nice...
