The actual reporting numbers are skewed anyways as subprime who get a good or even average cosigner are often no longer considered subprime. Especially when titling and buyer vs cobuyer comes in to play. First time buyers with just enough credit but nothing long established aren't considered subprime either. That article doesn't take a lot of things in to consideration.
Point is, anything exciting and innovative died a while ago in the nissan brand. Every now and then a neat concept comes out but their current stable is a snoozefest save the GTR, which is great, but long overdue for a changeup.
Enjoy whatever nissan you have or are buying!!!!

Dirty tactics was my interpretation of your attitude to subprime loans and the general perception of them from the rest of the market analysts, and was used to spice up the verbage.
Again, where is the evidence? Where is the link? I’ve provided links. You keep claiming things about Nissan without links. The claim hasn’t been demonstrated nor does the math add up to substantiate any secondary claim that their vehicles aren’t good.
And the other point is everything innovate and exciting died from many brands. Until the 86, what did Toyota have that was exciting? At least Nissan had a sports car in the Z and the GTR for a while. What about Honda? They released the NSX how many years after the GTR? The Type R just came to the states to give the Civic more appeal than a suped up econobox? It is not like the other guys have done much to break the status quo. I’m no Nissan fan boy, but I’m saying their position in the market suggests they are building good cars.
