Hmmm…not usually into reporting Industry News around here, but I will show some personal interest and pass along some Nissan Truck rumblings…
Lots of Nissan news/rumors this week. I have been alternately excited and depressed as reports surface ranging from Nissan/Chrysler tie-ups, to Nissan/Suzuki tie-ups, to Diesel Titan models, to the outright dropping of the Titan from the product line.
The discussion of the Titan discontinuation is especially bad for a number of reasons, including the value of competition and trickle down platform technology enjoyed by the Frontier, Armada, Pathfinder, and XTerra.
I won’t rehash all the details, but here are the Cliff Notes from PickupTruck.com and Jalopnik.
Personally, I just think a Frontier diesel (and the 30% increase in MPG) would be cool…is that asking too much? They have them in the UK…
