The gr yaris might not seem like much but it shows that toyota can still make sick cars (after everyone was disappointed with the BMW B58 engine being used), and now we see a new integra that was announced as well.

    I found this recent history of Nissan fascinating. I knew there had been some issues, but I didn't know it was that ugly. I have been viciously loyal to Nissan since I owned a '05 Sentra that I HATED, but the stupid little car just wouldn't die (until it was totalled by a drunk driver). I was sold, at that point, on Nissan for ruggedness and reliability, even if the car was pathetically slow and the seats hurt my back.
    When I started driving rideshare in 2018, I wanted to offer premium rides and I needed a car that was comfortable enough for me to sit in for 10-12 hours at a time. I headed straight to Nissan's upmarket brand, Infiniti. Because the recent poor reputation plummets their resale values, I got a nicely equipped 2014 QX60 for VERY cheap. The car tolerated 2000+ miles a week of bouncing around rough city streets, constant stopping/starting, and thousands of doors slamming, without breaking a sweat until it too was totalled by a drunk driver (I'm blessed to be alive). I replaced it with a FULLY loaded 2015 QX60 and discovered a fantastic refresh to the CVT from '14-'15. I still beat the car to death, and the rugged Nissan underpinnings refuse to fail me (well, with the exception of the STUPID VVCS, but that's not exclusive to Nissan. Check my channel for a video about it).
    As much as I love my car, it DOES feel like a car from 2013. I'm happy to see the major redesign coming for the Pathfinder, which means that the QX60 will change with it. I'm concerned about them abandoning the CVT. My car shifts like a cream puff when making the gradual changes between "gears" and the earlier issues of chatter or slow manual shifts seem to be worked out of it.
    I agree with Nolan. Nissan's future looks bright. I'm eager to see how it goes.

      @BigLifeWithLitlJay 3 года назад

      @Dale Macarena ➊ They were, but some drastic improvements were made. I can't speak about the Sentra, because I don't know if it has the same CVT as the Pathfinder/QX60. Pre-2015, Pathfinders and QX60's were prone to chattering under acceleration because the CVT belt would slip. My 2014 QX60 didn't have that issue, but it did shift sluggishly in manual mode, and sport mode was certainly not "sporty".
      My 2015 QX60 is an AMAZING improvement! It's buttery smooth moving between "gears". In sport mode it's snappy and SLAMS its way between them, giving the car a serious kick in the butt at each "shift". Manual mode has no third pedal, but it's still fun, which is the opposite of how it was in my 2014.

    This is such a good time for sports cars. The new 86 is looking great. Same with the z and Integra. Mustang is In a good spot. Corvette is sick. I would sell my first born for a new scat pack charger. I'm just saying. Almost every relevant company has something to offer and I actually finally have the MO ry to get something cool! Just gotta figure out which one. Z is definitely up there.

      so true. only major disappointment for me has been the new, more bloated than ever, Subie WRX. hope theyll make a turn-around soon

    Juke gets flack, but I love the juke. Handles nice, the turbo is great on the highway and the awd traverses my super long snowy driveway when needed. I also love the styling 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Price isn't bad at all. If you compair it based on power alone. A 98 viper GTS making 450hp would set you back 80k+. So 400hp for 40k ish... Thats on point

    Nissan went through a similar styling challenge mid 90s - they always looked more stylish than Toyotas of that era, and then 1996ish all their cars looked like cockroaches. Then they swung back around with good styling for a few years and landed again is plain car land. The cycle of Nissan.

    We get a new Z, Nolan wishes for the GT-R R36.
    I want to see the comeback of the S chassis. Pretty sure a lot more people than i think are patiently waiting for a possible 200SX S16.

    I'm back again here after they announced the new GTR, while I'm happy they're still making it and didn't botch the design, it's a little disappointing it barely looks any different from the older version 😮‍💨 some of those R35 fan renders looked so promising of what it could be

    The Japanese actually teach Carlos ghosn's business practices at their universities and they actually made a cartoon about him. But the problem with Nissan is their terrible quality in general after just a couple of years u feel the car is ancient and falling a part

      The problems with the VR30 engine. Gone through three sets of turbos and a new block. Cheap turbos and porus block problems is pretty common with it

    Btw Ashwani Gupta is COO. Makoto Uchida is still the CEO of Nissan, so the only CEO that left after Ghosn got arrested was Hiroto Saikawa.

    I would love for them to start paying more attention to their luxury brand, Infiniti. It’s sad to see that they put more innovative tech into their lower-end vehicles than they do on Infiniti.
    Take the new QX55. Brand new- still no dash screen, running on a CVT and so much more.

      I agree. Sad because it’s such a good brand with so much potential. Back then, it was better than Lexus. Not anymore

    Now those of those with a family can I get a 2+2. Don't have very many options with power handling at a good price. Now I know my 2011 S5 is good. But I would like a rear wheel drive that isn't a BMW or Mercedes.

    the Z is a start saw it out at SEMA i was impressed with it. but god their regular car lineup is awful horrendous cvt's in them I remember owning my sentra back in 2006 so many ppl owned them almost equal to the civic at that time. The GT-R is next to get a new look
