*I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other UA-cam trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow*
I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies
I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing
If you can, then get a professional to trade for you i think that way your assets are more secure
I'd recommend LANNA,GEORGE her profit is great even when there's a dip
WOW!!! The collapse is happening faster than any projection, even Tony Seba.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dont need to be a brain surgeon to realise what is going to happen !! Nissan been struggling for years, and years !!
These companies have GOOD MOTORS AND TRANSMISSIONS
Then the change everything and nothing works
So next they junk it all and go EV
DUHHH
Nothing will happen to Nissan, they will have deal incentives to buy like
low interest rates, and very competitive pricing - llower than other brands.
My 2007 Nissan Altima is still running good. I've never had a problem with the transmission
I heard that at that time they were not CVT transmissions.
No one wants their cheap CVT Transmissions. People want cars that last not cars that breaks down to cost a fortune to repair. If a car maker cheats their customer, customer walks away. Take care of the customer, customer takes care of you.
It is that simple. For some reason, certain car manufacturers can't figure this out or have forgotten how to.
Toyota solved the CVT "problem" by adding a manual "1st gear" to alleviate slip on take off. Why Nissan hasn't is bad engineering to save money = unreliable transmissions = no buyers.
These companies have PERFETLY GOOD TRANSMISSIONS
Then the change everything and nothing works
So next they junk it all and go EV
DUHHH
CVT were used on SNOMOBILES. So WAY that would work in a car
@@fladave99 Thanks Bro for this GREAT finding, as if soft snow is similar to when the rubber meets the road. Nissan WOKE soft (Snowy) Engineers are not in sink with reality and lost perception of the customer who needs real reliable cars to drive daily.
In Japan, it doesnt matter if you are telling the truth or lying, saying something on the internet, damage their reputation, that is enough to sue you and lose the case, they care about reputation, not the thruth.
Only in Japan?
Sounds like USA
In my country too
@@hpw-ws6bj In the US, truth is an absolute defense. Although there may be an iffy lower court ruling, it will pretty much always lose on appeal.
@@Boris_ChangThailand is same. Deformation is huge thing here.
Nissan management must have been educated in US business schools.
Youve got it all wrong. Its in the US where the problem is. There are no E-Power Nissans available in north america. But you can get E-Power in other countries.
Trump went to a college and majored in Economics. He is really good with numbers
and money. Please don't vote for Kamalah just for DEI purposes.
And It's pronounced Nis - sahn right?
And how much did they gouge when they had the upper hand. No mercy.
Compare to how much the Chinese car manufacturers charging their Chinese customers in China, and how much the US/Japanese/European car manufacturers are charging American customers in USA ---- you guys should know how they are fleecing you, and you should know how rotten they are !
As one who worked at Nissan dealers for 20 years (until this year) I can tell you the dealer I worked at in 2021 and 2022 were making 5-6K per copy over MSRP. Absolutely gouging. Industry wide, including all the luxury, it was was even higher per copy. Dealers weren't hurting in that time. But as one who was on the parts and service side, I can say we hurt because no one was driving. They were furlough or working remote from home. Cars don't break or need service if you don't drive them. It still hasn't recovered since pre-covid.
@@mindeloman Nissan's prices are typically lower than most other brands. That's
why they always survive.
Their CVT issues have been seriously damaging.
Nissans CVTs fail is one of the most damaging pr a car brand has had. Even VW was able to move past diesel gate.
Their Trucks are very good.
Their cars 2015 to present are garbage .
Not true, my daughter got her Versa new in 2018, no problems at all with it.
She just gets regular maintenance done.
@metalmike570 there is a reason why of all the *OEMS* , NISSAN will be the first one to go out of business.
Nissan tried to buy "PostStar", but NISSAN couldn't get it because the banks turned NISSAN down.
Nissan stocks is garbage.
NISSAN cars are not selling.
The word is out how bad the cars are.
NISSAN stop making the *Titan* truck because no one was buying it.
@@icosthop9998 They won't go out of business, probably have fire sales!
ua-cam.com/video/gA9eiMYdPkw/v-deo.html
Stellantis (Dodge Jeep) is in big trouble as well.
Because of ridiculous prices. Nissan still has some decent prices.
I just recently completed my lease term for a Nissan frontier. Had no interest in one, but there was a deal when I needed to get kind of an emergency car. A car on short notice that was cheap in a short term. We really agreed to like the frontier. Much better than I had ever thought about. I’m not gonna buy one because they were too pricey, but the lease deal was very good and I offered the dealer a certain payment for it and they actually came back with substantially lower payment as their counter offer. It was a no-brainer. They came in well under what I was hoping for. And it was a great truck for the time that I used it.
Their Trucks are very good.
Their cars 2010 to present are garbage .
@@icosthop9998 My daughter got her Versa new in 2018, no problems at all with it.

If I remember their Renault CEO snuck out of Japan while under arrest in a suitcase.
I remember all the whiteknighting of that POS CEO by his supporters, having the gall to criticise Japan’s near perfect conviction rate
An attache case
The real reason for Nissan's troubles is their self-destructing CVT transmissions. The word got out about how bad these transmissions are. I bought a 2008 Nissan Versa new in 2008. I now have 73,000 miles on it. I drive very conservatively hoping that the tranny will not disintegrate. Had the transmission fluid changed once at the dealer. I hope my luck holds.
Change the fluid every 20k mils or so maybe bit longer if it looks good. It's the only way to string them out reliably. Normal trans don't need so many services if not heavy use.
2010 Nissan Versa here with 182,000 miles on it with original transmission & engine.
@@Komputar Yeah, amazing. My daughter got hers in 2018, and brand new.
She hasn't had any problems at all. I think it has 60K on it. She just gets maintenace done when it should be.
@@N4CR Right, I have a Front Wheel Drive Rogue (2019), Not an All WHeel Drive. Those are really the ones that got or had problems.
@@Komputar You have 4 speed auto, not CVT if it was CVT that would be a minor miracle.
Why would you be buying a Nissan, their CVT Transmissions have issues and they've had this issue for something like 2 decades. They don't fix it, people get annoyed and wont buy it again. Engine, other things, great reliability... The Transmission is the weakest link.
They've moved away from CVTs in their new cars
My dad 2010 Nissan Dualis CVT is still going strong in 2024 with 250,000kms. His example could be just an exception but being belt driven I belive that the CVT, will last you as long as your not mashing the gas pedal and taking off from the lights like your running late everytime you drive. My dad drives very conservatively and i think that's why his CVT is still going with no issues.
@@Whyunounderstand Agree, I've got 2 of their CVTs. Trouble free, but I don't race them.
The Frontier and the Z are still worth buying.
Just search for yourself about new Tesla cars in the USA parked in parking lots rented by Tesla, gathering dust because they can’t sell them.
Its not just Nissan it all of them. GM is delaying its EV trucks but you can find videos of all the big 3 of having lots 2023 inventory not sold in there gas fleets.
It looks like the 3 Cylinder Turbo Trax is selling good.
This car-company started as Datsun and wend broke in 90ties.
Datsun was lit! I had the statin wagon🎉
It's pronounced Nis - sahn right?
The surest way to preserve your cvt is drive normally and Change theCVT Fluid every 30 to 40k. The fluid is dirty (very dark to black) at these Intervals. 2010 murano owner with 114k miles with no problems.
think that really what it is, ppl dont want to do daily Maintenace or their cars alot of time or they drive their car to hard.
Dealers ripping off in my NY area too - March 2024 New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced settlements worth more than $1.9 million with five Nissan car dealerships in New York City and on Long Island for overcharging over a thousand New Yorkers who wanted to purchase their leased vehicles at the end of their lease term. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that the dealerships added junk fees or falsified the price of vehicles between 2020 and 2023. The agreements require the dealerships to pay more than $1.6 million in restitution to more than 1,100 consumers and a civil penalty of $340,000.
That seems to be an ongoing issue in the US. In many other countries, dealerships are directly owned and operated by the automaker...so they have control over the price and service-level. Often times the same American company will be owning a few dealerships in the same region.
Good to see the "OAG" actually doing their job. 👍
Our 240Z with some addons such as a 280 engine, better rear-end, Jatco improvement, lasted about 660-thousand miles before we got rid of it. We could no longer get parts for it. We milked it by using home-made replacements, but finally gave up. We bought an Infinity full-4WD and it ran fine until it starting leaking oil in the axles, and the after-market and scrap dealers could no longer supply a non-leaking axle assembly. It was a very capable 4WD with the dual-speed trans, and we drove it through water, snow, dirt, sand, rocks, until the tires all fell off (several times). Now we are only Toyota and GM(old).
They now go for stupid money
Smart move
The last and only time I bought a Nissan was 44 years ago. Meanwhile I've bought more than 20 cars since.
Nissan is toast. 😮
They have been since the late 1990s Asian recession - all the great models that made them great in Japan got killed off by the early 2000s, terrible decision making outside Asia
TY
OMG! Mate, never entice a major company or anyone for that matter to sue you regardless of how right you think you are. They just might do it and you could end up in court and fighting litigation for years at enormous expense, much stress and anxiety, loss of time and happiness, just to prove a point. They have deep pockets and legal representation that would far superior to what you can afford and could make your life miserable for a very long time, even if you win, Just not worth making a challenge like that. Hope that doesn’t happen to you, Good luck 🤞
Yes. Never underestimate the land of the "tall poppy" syndrome. Saboteurs abound...
I doubt it. The publicity will hurt Nissan more than rhe damage from Viking's badmouthing. Imagine the media will expose all the dirty shit they did or seemed to have done. Esp if what Viking said is true.
Is this a thing? Freedom is nice
Nissan deserves to go, they have no respect for their customers.
I think all the Japanese Car makers are in trouble, I can only see Toyota surviving in the long term and "consolidate or die" may be the only future for global legacy brands. The chinese are not invulnerable either and probably have too many manufactuers, many wont survive but the ones that do may become global behemoths.
I love my 2005 Infiniti G35 6mt coupe before Carlos Ghosn destroyed both Infiniti/Nissan. When Beverly Hills Infiniti closed, that was the last nail for Infiniti. They also stopped selling in Europe. The newer cars were expensive and overpriced. My G35 was the same price as my 1990 new twin turbo Z at $35,000. I still have not seen the new Z in LA starting at around $54,000?! They had $10,000 mark ups and now $2000 below MSRP at 4 LA dealerships. Bad management, bad products, goodbye Nissan/Infiniti! Sadly, Toyota quality is following Fords quality job none with large recalls.
The leaf , terrible to think it would ever sell. Same components as 2013 model, slap sensors , slap bigger battery. Nothing more
If the LEAF was a profitable car for Nissan, they would be updating/upgrading it every year. The reality is the LEAF doesn't add any value to the bottom-line, and Nissan would've been better off not investing in it at all.
They would rather go bankrupt than sell cars for reasonable price
For anyone I know, marketing would be useless because nobody believes what they have to say. They listen to their friends, family and watch or read reviews.
profitability of anything less than inflation means losing money
I blame Nissan Advertising not their proucts. For example I'm on my third ownership of Nissan Leafs. Drove and drive in hot Scottsdale and terrible cold Boise winter. Here's my maintenance costs: one new tire, two windshield wipers, one silicone tube, one recall to replace bolt under driver's seat and one recall to add a few pages in my owner's mamual. I drive short distances and charge at home. My 2023 Leaf Plus is fun to drive and super dependable! Love my Nissan Leaf!
Nissan is not the only one; in the United States jeep Dodge and ram dealerships have 2023 and even 2022 model still sitting
And United States Jeep Dodge ram dealers prices are far higher than what the cars are worth. That’s why they just sit, but Nissan just developed a bad reputation with their CVT That is why Nissan doesn’t sell
When they put a 3 cylinder engine in the 2023 Rogue I decided not to get another one when my lease was up.
Dam CVT transmissions. They were better cars when they were called Datsun.
You have to thank that french guy who throw nissan into the toilet
if i had the money to get a brand-new car or 2, i would. especially the new leaf and the Ariya. nice looking cars.
Thanks for bringing us updated information. Keep up the Great work.
Look at that big smile breaking out on the Viking, he's so happy bringing bad news to anyone other than Tesla. Viking wants you to feel the pain, he hates you!!!!!
Daddy Viking can do no wrong. He is just telling you how it is. Tesla #1!
Hope just like musk one of these companies sue him.
Search: Publicly traded automakers with the highest total debt
There are 63 car automakers listed with debt in 2024. The top 10 in debt are:
Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Renault, Honda, Nissan
Toyota is the 1st position in debt. Nissan is the10th position in debt. Tesla is the 15th position in debt.
I wonder what the beef between Viking with Nissan is.
@simon6071 just telling it like it is.
It does seem like he doesn't like Nissan in particular and Japanese cars in general.
Dealers not making money means they sell cars with huge discounts, so in this case it is good for use and I actually scored full options Qashqai for 35k euro not any other brand has such options for such price well below MSRP. Also CVT problems are not so big in new models plus 5 years warranty,
After a few years those cars built a few years back get lot rot.A condition where the fluids breakdown and need to be changed before sale which no dealership does.
If Nissan sales crashes by 70% then that has very little to do with competition from EV sales in the country.
EV sales in the US were 9% in 2023. So simple math tells us this is due to other circumstances
I just checked our local dealership for 2023s they don't show any.. lots of 2024s lots of used but zero 2023s showing weird right..
They shouldn't have 2024s. Where are they putting to 2025s?
Not weird.
Because of the price of the new Tacomas, they are stacking up in some parts of the country & in other parts of the country, the 2024 Tacomas are selling very well.
ironic that the car company that was one of the first with a mass market EV is now in trouble after doing virtually nothing with EVs for the last 15 years.
Love the challenge!
I visited a Nissan dealership recently, and they had a fully stocked car lot. Toyota dealership barely had enough new cars to do test drive. If you want a car you order it and wait until it arrives.
I miss my old 300z and 350z…
Our 240Z with some addons such as a 280 engine, better rear-end, Jatco improvement, lasted about 660-thousand miles before we got rid of it. We could no longer get parts for it. We milked it by using home-made replacements, but finally gave up.

@@brunonikodemski2420 a friend had a 240Z back then, fun drifting car he got, one night 20 some years back our friends split into two groups, one in his 240Z and the other into my 2nd gen integra, we raced from Oakland Chinatown to SF pier 39, it only took us a little over 10 mins, yeah… we were doing 90 to 120mph all the way through, even on the Bay Bridge! So glad no one got hurt during that young and dumb event 😅
@@UniZi You may have seen one of my earlier replies. We did the Bend, Oregon, to Santa Barbara run on H5 (mostly) at an average of about 94mph. Two gas stops, at night, no cops, but almost got killed when dodging a pack of deer on the highway. Typical speed right around 120-130. Checked oil during run, and the headers were Red-hot glowing. Do NOT try this again. I'm 80 now, and as the joke goes, "If I thought I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself". PassItOn.

NISSAN DIED WHEN THEY MARRIED RENAULT.🤬🤬🤬
It’s sad 😢 I loved my Datsun 120Y back in the day, there design lost its way 10 yrs ago 😮😮
Nissan have a couple of hybrids for sale in Australia, but they're so much more expensive than other better known hybrids like Toyota that I don't think they sell too well.
Eg in the SUV market:
Nissan Qashqai e power hybrid $52k,
Toyota Rav4 hybrid $36k.
Nissan would be lucky to sell a few dozen a month at that price.
Have a y62 Patrol. Reasonable 4wd but they have barely changed the Patrol in 14 years.
Morning mate even Bots get 24 hours muted I'm back 🙂
Nissan Leaf is one of our favorite cars ever had
🎉Thanks
Went in for an oil change that came with a free car wash. Dealer washed the front and drivers' side of the car only. Great service uh huh.
They simply forgot.
What does that have to do with Nissan going bankrupt? Did you see video to the end?
That’s the only sides you are going to see when they greeted you.
If the wash was bad, I'd worry more about the oil change 😮
I owned 4 Nissan and was a lifelong supporter.
Then I bought a Murano and it didn’t make it to 100k miles. I’ll never give a CVT another chance and can’t afford a GTR.
Funny to see an ad for a Nissan rogue right in the middle of this video. 😊.
In my opinion the Frontier is the best looking small pickup.
Gotta cater to the paying customer. They catered to extremely high discount rentals and people they don’t pay their bills.
Serves them right, they insisted on keeping those crappy CVT's and the cost to repair is pissing customers off. Cheap these boxes might be to produce, but they should be doing something about them until they can produce a decent hybrid.
I'm in the U.S. I leased a nice Mazda CX-5 2024. It probably will be my last gas vehicle. I'm betting EVs (or hybrids) are stable for the U.S. market in about 3 to 5 years, and that's when to make that move. In any case, I love Nissan cars. I had one in the past. Nissan dealers didn't offer any bargains on 2024 or (excess) 2023 models.
In our family we have a 2006 Toyota Caldina (Bulletproof at 252,000 KM's) , a 2015 Nissan Leaf (Wifes car, it plugs into the wall,as complex as a golf cart, completly trouble free after five years. ) and finally a 2016 Ford Transit van with Add Blue, DPF, EGT a Turbo and more sensors than I can count That puppy has cost us a fortune in repairs its insanely complex but I understand most modern engines are the same. I'm convinced that sometime in the future Automotive historians will look back at the modern ICE engine and wonder what the hell we were thinking.
maybe they should extend their EV output..sell the Sakura in the USA, while developing more EV platforms
The CVT destroyed NIssan. I just cant believe they continued running it for so long. Prior to the CVT I owned Nissan's and they lasted so long it would piss me off.
Constantly Vehicle Troubles?
Let this be a lesson to all crap car manufacturers
Nissan has a hybrid in Japan and Europe, the X-Trail, basically the same car as the Rogue in North America, but it has a hybrid drive similar to the Volt: the gasoline motor's purpose is to recharge the batteries. I just read a Motortrend review from late 2023 that says it's very zippy and feels like an EV. Even has one-pedal driving. But has better range than a pure EV. They said it's coming to the U.S. market in 2026. Is that too late? Not sure. They've also got several more pure EV's and hybrids coming in '26. Seems like they had a bit of a slump in the 2022-24 period when it comes to product development but perhaps they'll pull out of it in a couple of years. Note that they are not an independent company; they're part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance; Renault owns 15% of the company. Probably, rather than let Nissan go under, Renault will lend them money, or invest money, to keep these promising new products coming. Nissan's too big to fail, IMHO.
Nissan is too stupid to bring something that makes sense to the US
I’m 62. I’ve bought 8 Nissans and 3 Hondas. All great cars. I’ve seen ZERO difference in quality between the Nissans and Hondas.
And It's pronounced Nis - sahn right? I agree that NIssan's quality is good, but many of the CVT's have crapped out on people. Other had no problems though.
UK DIVISION 100% FREEMASONRY
I guess this is also due to corporate issues in the last 20 years, selling off nissan to renault, having the CEO arrested and no clear vision of what happens in the market, issues and new trends against where they want to be. Just recently they came up with renewed models that were 10 years due
You can get a a used nissan leaf for under $5k around here. They made it possible for me to stop buying gasoline and start saving 50 bucks a month. For that, I really hope Nissan makes a comeback.
Love our 2015 Nissan leaf, amazing to think they released the Leaf in 2009 beating the Model S by three years and yet squandered that lead.
I'm not a Tesla fan but you nailed it when you mentioned how differently the media would be handling this if it were Tesla and Musk. Touche!
They cater to the low end, but the low end consumer is tapped out.
Nissan's variable compression engines will save the day. You'll see, you'll see.
I think that Nissan, back in 2017 when they fired Carlos Ghosn, laid down the roots of their downfall just like Volkswagen did in 2022 when they fired Herbert Diess. Sometimes you should listen to your CEO even when he is telling you things you don't want to hear.
Loved my 206 LEAF, it's to bad.
It is about Nissan brand and its cars but NOT some other Chinese EV & gas car brands which are doing okay compared to all other non-Chinese car brands.
They need to recover what they can from Ghosn. I know it's a drop in the bucket but maybe a start. Also bringing the Alpine to infinity dealers to compete with cayman seems like a no Brainer.
Just checked my local dealers and 23 models were few and really didn't have anything off like 1000 off a 40,000 23 model isn't really wanting to sell to me
Murano is super outdated and that's the 2nd most popular size category in the US. The Pathfinder is new but I don't recall seeing it frequently and sales number shows it's selling less than the last gen. Altima and Sentra are both old and sales are way below the previous gen. Maxima and Versa are discontinued. Rogue and the trucks are the only thing Nissan is selling
My girlfriend leased a 2020 nissan rouge for 270 a month, because of covid she only put 30,000 miles of the 45,000 3 year lease, we decided to buy out the lease at the agreed price of 15,000, every dealer in in a 50 mile radius, wanted to add 5,000 dollars to buy out the lease, when i threatened to send the check directly to nissan, 3 days later one dealership agreed to finance to agreed on buyout , this experience made me and my girlfriend decided that her next car will be a model y because how much she loves my model 3
WOW!!! I’m NOT shocked!! I don’t want to go over the two instances I’ve had with “issues” with my Nissans!
That's an American dealership issue. Nothing to do with Nissan.
@@yo2trader539 It starts at the top, and rolls downhill
Good points, but to have a staple brand in Japan go bankrupt overnight isn't going to happen. The state would come in and bail out Nissan if it got to that point.
Hmmm, I am old enough to remember when the Nissan Maxima became family sedan of the year, in 1994. It was safe, comfy, powerful, fun to drive and affordable, but most importantly reliable. IMO Nissan needs to scale back and focus on Quality, not quantity. Mazda made some mistakes in the past and recovered. I am sure Nissan can do it with the right management and design team, so Back to the drawing table!
I'm sorry to hear this. Nissan/ Datsun has a rich heritage. From the Z car to the GTR going back to the 510, the company has been visionary. A ton of Americans from the 60's, and 70's generations love this brand. I hope someone save it.
Yes, down in the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) we loved the Datsun. My aim when I was a teenager was to get a Datsun 240Z. It wasn't until I was travelling around USA in 1976 that I even realised that Datsun had changed to Nissan!
They really went downhill. I loved my 72 240z
It's sad to see this. They've simply spent too much money creating vehicles with neither the character, nor substance to compete in today's market.
This is Nissan...
Same 30 years ago when I work for them....they dream to be the same on the Mercedes level....but full of problem wit everything.....cvt, electronic...brakes....etc...
But manager don't care and dream.....
Too bad because the old Nissans were awesome. Had a 97 Nissan pick up that had 392 thousand before it was stolen, a 2005 Nissan Sentra that has been beaten up badly with 224,000 miles still keeps trucking and a 2004 Frontier with 220 thousand that runs like a top. Now the newer Nissans just are not reliable cars with maybe the Frontier being an exception.
Clearly Nissan only needs to tell the public it will guarantee the new improved transmissions for 7 years, every thing else they do well.
CVT are great for light, low torque cars, others need the DCT (computer controled manual and clutch) for the weight and torque loads.
No one is selling cars in America.
Sam, just for your understanding, Japanese fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31.
Well maybe I'll get a discount on that new frontier.
no charging in NA ... its big thats a problem
Not only nissan losing tonnes of money...all are struggling...part of the debt based economic and financial system...catching up to US in a big way and this time it is different!
Cheers bro I've seen this
I only like Frontier, Patrol, 4th Gen Pathfut and xterra....
The 'Leaf' didn't do much for their reputation.
*Goes to new car dealership
*Reads new-car sales contract, connectivity requirements, data privacy disclosures, feature subscription fees ....
*Goes to used car dealership, asks to see pre-2010 models....
Mass production with no quality control=junks.
Ya I don’t know how they can make a profit , I leased a Leaf for $173 a month with 0 down for a 2 year lease
Is this very different from a dealer cancelling RAM contract and wanting 2 return 180 milion worth of cars? Whole market is rotten and difficult at the moment and possibly the future...
The irony looking over all the comments below re the reliability and customer service reputation of their ICE cars (CVT is just on ICE?), is that my current nissan env-200 has been the most reliable and cheap to run car I have ever owned. So much so I might not need to buy another car again, but will look to third party battery upgrades when needed over the next 6 years or so.
I believe Stallantis has the most 2023 new models available in the US.
It does not matter that sales slump for a moment - Nissan cars are NOT bad at all. In fact Nissan Qashqai (Rouge) is the longest produced car of all suvs - they have been producing them since 2006 ! And still every year there is a new Rouge release, if it was so bad would they keep on producing them ? Check out new 2024 model - They look really nice and for the price are simply good. What Nissan does wrong is to try to jump on this EV wagon which is simply bad for them for now.
This is what happens when you don't care about quality. Happened to Nissan, happened to Stellantis. Nissan is the Chrysler of Japan.
Also, Nissan is too slow. Take the Terra for example, a ute-based SUV that they sell in SE Asia, not in Australia though. Back in the mid-2000s things like the Ford Everest, Mitsubishi Montero and Toyota Fortuner came out that were simply the company's pickup truck turned SUV.. not something hard to do. Nissan? They have the 2004 Frontier but what do they do? Nothing. The next gen Frontier comes out here in 2014 but it took them 3 friggin years to get the Terra out. How hard could replacing the truck bed be with a third row of seats?? Nissan Kicks? Been out for 4 years before they put it out here. Urvan? It's very crude and ugly. Patrol is a dinosaur. There's nothing compelling at Nissan dealerships. What they do to lure people in? They display a GT-R. Yeah, like many people are going to drop by just for the GT-R, which is always locked, btw.
Oh good grief.
