Nissan on the ropes

[Mik]

Most things here are quite close. I did replace the tires last year. Unlike a lot of things, I do not try to squeeze the last mile out of them. I dislike changing tires on the road.

Geez, you drive anywhere?

Ahem.

My 2017 A4 which I purchased in 2018 had 10,500 miles on it.

I'm all they way up to 36,000 now.

My 2017 Cadillac XT5 which I purchased in 2019 had 19,621 miles on it.

I'm all they way up to 35,009 now.

About 3K per year.

[Mik]

We can beat that. Our second car is a 2010 Camry. I doubt we put 200 miles a year on it.

[Jolly]

My 2015 Sonata is somewhere around 165k.

I'll wring 200k out of it, you just hide and watch. Green, am I.

[Mik]

Green with envy of our Camry....

[Jolly]

You get 300k out of the Yota and you'll have something...

[Mik]

150 now. Will likely sell it before that. Keeping my eye out for a creampuff Lexus LS.

@Copper, @Mik

@George-K beats you, so do I. Our second cars get zero miles a year on them. So we don’t bother owning them.

[Mik]

Sure. until next year.

Uber probably is the most cost effective given how little some of you drive.

Everything FIAT touches turns to crap.

Dealers were recently told that if Infiniti doesn't turn it around in 12 months, the brand is kaput.

Nissan announced today that they are pulling back from staff trainings that have nothing to do with their core business, advertising that has nothing to do with their product, and all relationships with the Corporate Equality Index and other such foolishness.

If I was Honda, I'd position Nissan as a modern day Pontiac. Sporty, but affordable. Try out the latest tech, then use it on Hondas once the bugs are kicked out.

[LuFins Dad]

I’d try a transmission that isn’t crap.

Honda makes the best CVT on the market.
