Tariffs

Nissan is struggling. They supposedly have ~18 months to right the ship. I saw an add that promoted the fact they were tariff free because the cars are made here. It may help them with a come back. They have to fix the transmission issue that have given them a bad rap over the years.
I don’t think they can, it’s been an issue since launch. Their CVT’s use a crappy belt and any deviation from the maintenance schedule dramatically increases the chances it’ll break…and who buys their cars? Not to stereotype but do you think Altima owners are super strict re: maintenance?

Worst part is their CVT’s aren’t serviceable if they do break. It totals the car due to poor resale.

I had a little Nissan truck extended cab truck in the past, owned it about 8 years. It was a 5 speed 4 banger which was good enough for my purposes, would tow small skiff. But that was 30 years ago. Hard to believe it was that long ago but time flies. Was a great little truck for what I paid for it (bought it at a bank auction) but I have driven the Titan (a rental when my Tundra was in the shop). It was a mammoth gas hog, and I didn't like the way it drove either.

If you're a Tundra driver and think something else is a gas hog, that's saying something.

I get 13mpg on avg in my 2014 Tundra. Only thing I don't like about my truck.
