Nissan Grows Sales 10.8 Percent

Like several other full-line manufacturers, Nissan’s car sales lagged in June (up 2.7 percent), as the brand’s nearly 11 percent growth was driven primarily by increases in truck sales. On the other hand, few of its vehicles actually lost sales. The Cube dropped 11 percent to 1,896 units, and the Altima fell 2.6 percent, as did Nissan’s sportscars, the 370Z (-3.5%, 892 units) and GTR (-44%, 84 units). Every truck and Infiniti vehicle was up, though, leaving Nissan with a solid, if generally weak sales month. Full numbers after the jump.

    Wow only 1,604 Titans sold. No wonder Nissan wanted Chrysler to build the next one.

      @ NulloModo, Reminds me of the first-gen Acura Legends that used to plague me as a salesman in the early 1990s. A Legend in their owners' minds, if nobody else's. At least the Acuras were fundamentally decent cars... maybe even a used-car bargain. But the Titan is another story. Along with its assembly-line brother Quest (of which I was an unfortunate owner), it represents a shocking quality decline for Nissan. I suspect that the Titan is a "value trap" rather than a genuine bargain. Give Carlos Ghosn credit for rescuing Nissan from the brink, as Lee Iaccoca did for Chrysler. Just remember what eventually became of Chrysler.

    ...a solid, if generally weak sales month. What?!
  • Jrhurren I rented a RAV for a 12 day vacation with lots of driving. I walked away from the experience pretty unimpressed. Count me in with Team Honda. Never had a bad one yet
  • ToolGuy I don't deserve a vehicle like this.
  • SCE to AUX I see a new Murano to replace the low-volume Murano, and a new trim level for the Rogue. Yawn.
  • BlackEldo Why even offer a Murano? They have the Rogue and the Pathfinder. What differentiates the Murano? Fleet sales?
