Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nissan Rogues from 14-17 have an issue where if you plug in a key programming tool and run it, the on board computer will just brick. This includes the dealer tool, not just 3rd party tools.
There's never been a recall for this issue.
That is reason enough to never buy a Nissan for me.

That is reason enough to never buy a Nissan for me.
The funds will be used to modernize internal systems at its headquarters and accelerate digital modernization and the rollout of AI-driven systems
If a signigicant portion of those funds are going to AI, they are doomed.
They already sell their vehicles to Altima drivers. I think doom was already on the menu.
They were doomed from the second they tied their company success to those terrible awful JATCO steel belt CVT's.
And told everyone those and the normal ATs didn't ever need their fluid changed.
A bunch of manufacturers said the same of their own transmissions, and they were all scammers for it, too.
They don't because the car will be in the wreckers before the fluid needs changing.
The engine replacement interval is smaller than the transmission fluid replacement interval and ain't nobody replacing an engine in a POS Nissan anyway.
Any company that puts two thermostats in a 4 cylinder engine gets a no from me.
All they need is a transmission not made of cheese.
Sure, lean into AI. Don't worry about the really shitty transmission you're still sticking in most of your cars, AI will fix it
Hope the money truck doesn’t have a CVT
I get this joke.
If the joke arrived safely, it looks like it wasn't a Nissan. Perhaps it had an Aisin transmission?
According to the article, they're selling it for ¥97 billion but will lease it back, so they will post a ¥73.9 billion gain from the sale. But in the first half of 2025, they posted a loss of ¥221.9 billion. So selling their HQ will offset about two months' worth of losses.
Also Thursday, Nissan reported a 221.9 billion yen ($1.4 billion) loss for the fiscal first half. It recorded a 19.2 billion yen profit during the same period a year ago.
What the fuck happened to their sales ? Did China kill it ?
Nissan, at least here in Europe, only makes uninspiring crossovers and not one of them is better than the uninspiring crossovers made by their competitors.
In some markets they have their big-ass SUV, the Armada/Patrol, but the latest generation of that came out this year or last year depending on market and it lost the V8 (already no appeal to the type of people who would've bought them). Now the twin turbo V6 supposedly has great drivability characteristics, but is barely any more fuel efficient than the V8 behemoth that came before it... And of course the V8 sounded good.
In August this year they cancelled their only "cool" car, the Nissan GT-R which hadn't had a true second generation, only facelifts, over 18 years of production.
Someone I knew, had either a 2016 or 2018 Qashqai, I forgot the exact year. After more than one engine repair, they decided it wasn't worth repairing anymore. This was about 2-3 years ago. The car barely had kilometers on it. I've owned numerous cars over 15 years old and even over 20 years old with multiple times the mileage, which gave me less problems, and I'm talking about cars from manufacturers reputed for building problematic cars. Audi, BMW, etc...
The new Leaf has better specs on paper than the old ones, but it looks really cheap inside and why the hell do we have yet another front-wheel drive "SUV"? I think even Hyundai and Kia EVs feel more premium at this point, and it's not like the Leaf is much cheaper. The Ariya has good specs on paper, but looks less practical than the Ioniq 5 and my god, why is everything a capacitive touch button on a flat surface? Just make real buttons ffs.
There's not a single Nissan I'd buy right now that's available for me on the market. The Z is cool, but not available in Europe unlike its predecessors. The GT-R was a dream car for me as a teenager, but now that I could even start approaching GT-R affordability territory in a few years if my ex hadn't ruined everything for me financially, it's being discontinued. Maybe I'll own a second-hand one in 10 years, unless they start going up in price like R34s. Even the Navara, which actually wasn't the absolute worst pick-up truck, has been discontinued.
Nissan's just fumbled everything. I know there's a place for uninspiring crossovers. Hell, SUVs saved Porsche. But Porsche knew how to make an SUV fast, comfortable and able to off-road well. Nissan just knows how to make a crossover that looks like shit, has no power, isn't comfortable, breaks down fairly early compared to even European rivals, let alone the other Japanese companies... I think their ONLY saving grace is that X-Trail is not too bad off road? Unless the latest generation changed that too. And the kicker? None of these vehicles are cheap anymore. The prices of every manufacturer have gone up, so at this point Nissan's not a lot cheaper than some entry-level Škoda that (and it pains me to say this, because I hate Škodas) is a much nicer vehicle.
They have completely failed to keep up with their competitors. They were slow to adopt new technology, when they did it was unreliable. When you're shopping for a car, if you compare a Nissan rogue to a Honda CRV, the Honda just seems a little nicer. The technology works better, and it's the same goddamn price.
Hey now, Nissan went electric with the Leaf (and had the worst battery solution) faster than competitors, it adopted the (worst) CVT for its lighter duty vehicles early, and rarely, if ever, redesigned some of the most (un)inspiring vehicles around!
Nissan did corner the subprime market like no one else though.
Exactly how I've felt for a while now. Nissan hasn't been doing the R&D investments they should've been doing, for decades now. The first and second gen Leafs were their last real contributions to the automotive industry. The first one because it made EVs more mainstream, and the second because it made actually EVs more affordable.
Nissan already gets transmissions for the Z and hopefully some other vehicles from Mercedes. Nissan's partner Renault uses Mercedes small diesel engines.
What they should do now is badge-engineer a low-end Mercedes like the GLA, GLB, or their electric equivalents, and sell it for less than Mercedes does. If Mercedes is willing. Do what Toyota did with the new Supras and BMW, except do it with the Skyline and Mercedes, the M256 inline 6 is a pretty decent engine for power.
Of course they could look to some other manufacturer for help too, doesn't have to be Mercedes, but Mercedes knows how to make cars and they have a working relationship already. But they need a GOOD car that they don't need to invest tons of R&D into, to boost their reputation and income for a while.
Lolol the lengths a CEO will go to protect their ego. (Rather than be a subsidiary to Honda because he wants to be an equal partner.)
Oof.
I'm driving a 26 year old Nissan and it still runs great.
Please don't become another shitty car company. I thought I had an easy choice to make when I needed a new vehicle.
Sadly, it's age is the reason you love that Nissan. Their cars have been steadily getting worse the last decade or two
But shareholder earnings have improved. And in the end, isn't that what we all want? /s
Their ex-ceo who was responsible for all the cost cutting packed himself in a suitcase to escape the country, so maybe it didn't work out after all
Theyve been shit for a good while
Stop making shitty cars
Well I am fine with my nissan leaf.
It was cheap (bought used) and does what it should do.
Drive around and stuff.
Yeah Nissan has been shit for 20 years, not surprising that it's catching up to them.
The new Z is very reminiscent of the old Datsun 280. Or 240? Whatever, the cool one.
On the topic of car manufacturers, are there any new non-chinese (i.e. state funded) car-brands or is the market so consolidated and regulated that entry is pretty much impossible?
