- Slavuta Nissan + profitability = cheap crap
- ToolGuy Why would they change the grille?
- Oberkanone Nissan proved it can skillfully put new frosting on an old cake with Frontier and Z. Yet, Nissan dealers are so broken they are not good at selling the Frontier. Z production is so minimal I've yet to see one. Could Nissan boost sales? Sure. I've heard Nissan plans to regain share at the low end of the market. Kicks, Versa and lower priced trims of their mainstream SUV's. I just don't see dealerships being motivated to support this effort. Nissan is just about as exciting and compelling as a CVT.
- ToolGuy Anyone who knows, is this the (preliminary) work of the Ford Skunk Works?
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I will drive my Frontier into the ground, but for a daily, I'd go with a perfectly fine Versa SR or Mazda3.

tedward : They’ll probably shove an engine in the wrong place to save costs though, so no bets on how well it stacks up handling wise. This is mid-engined, RWD, and supposed to be roughly the same price as a Miata. In Germany, te Tiguan is priced between the CR-V and the RAV4, so if they can do that... Did you read the press release? 180hp diesel, 55 mpg (US)
Not when I wrote that apparently. If it actually comes as a diesel or with the 2.0, I would very seriously consider buying one.
