These vehicles are incredible, tech leading…by far, most reliable engines. Got pathfinders going over ask. From my GM, the Outlander is outselling the Model Y. Landed into a fortune.

Why do CVT transmissions suck so bad?

Why do ghetto chicken heads love your cars so much?

The pedals were fit for our Japanese foot base. Our mistake, honestly.

We’re looking into if fried chicken is causing issues. Not seeing any data from South Korea or Japan that correlates to our NA market.

So you work for the two world's tallest midgets?

Nissan is behind on tech. Has been for decades.

Frontier and Armada are just solid, needed to be class-leading game-breakers to save the company.

Nissan HQ is for sale. Half of their global production capacity is being shuttered. Assimilation into the Toyota Collective is about their best hope.

Mitsu-who? Outlander did almost 12k units in Q1, which is nice.....for Mitsubishi. Tesla sold 64,000 Model Y's in Q1....in the midst of a production model changeover, which always slows sales considerably.

This is true.

Had Nissan not let Jatco bury their dick in their arse, they would be in a lot better position right now.

seems serendipitous you did this thread.

i'll bite.

tell me about the frontiers. i have seen one really foolish engineering design with the water pump placement. not even electric, it's chain fed. any reliability problems with those (since the whole front end has to get torn off)?

Why do car salesmen have a physical and genetic inability to tell the truth?

Mitsubishi Auto group


Why did they frick themselves over so hard making cheap shitty vehicles? They had some amazing vehicles in the past like the Lancer Evolution, 3000GT, Starion, Pareo and Eclipse.

I've heard mechanics say only trust CVTs from Honda and Toyota. Rest are garbage.

I've had two CVTs go out on me in one Ford Fusion Hybrid. Original went out at 80k miles. Hybrid warranty had me covered up to 90k miles. Got a "new" free transmission. It went out in 30k miles. Traded the car in for a Honda.

Are the Ford pickups considered as dependable as other brands of trucks? I like the look of the Ford trucks more than the others actually.

Subarus are fine now. Some earlier models had issues.

Even Toyota is nowhere close to where they were pre-Covid, pre-CAFE changes from a powertrain standpoint.

There isn’t a single vehicle that is a strong buy IMO relative to a pre-covid used vehicle due to increases in price and reliability issues with the updated platforms.
