What is wrong with the Titan? And what are you calling a clown shoe? All of our SUV's and trucks are very nice. They all have lots of power and all our customers love it.

We own a Murano as well and yes it is a dog, but it is very smooth and the brakes are awesome.

I dont see what the deal is with bashing Nissan. We had an 04' Camry or Coralla in and I dont see what anyone sees in Toyota. The interior was so boring and bland. It reminded me of mid 90's crappy everything plastic interiors.

You are the toddler in the above .gif

Do a search.

The turdness of the TiTaN has been discussed to death, and here's a clown shoe for you:

I liked how you changed the GIF to a different one. Maybe you should explain your reasons instead of posting stupid pictures.

ZROC86,

You might as well not bother yourself with this discussion - it's a waste of time.

There are some on this board who hold the opinion that if GM didn’t produce it then it’s not worth discussing – for them, the world begins and ends in Detroit and they will bash anything non-GM and especially if it’s from the east and very especially if it’s Nissan.

Some do it out of stupidity; some out of jealously, some out of hate and some simply out of childishness but the end result is the same and the equation that applies for these folks is ‘GM = good” and “everything else = bad”.

You’ll also find, in the opinion of these self-appointed "expects and defenders of GM", that every automotive magazine and every automotive journalist and every automotive related organization is engaged in a vast conspiracy to ruin GM – citing any of these sources in a post to support your position will bring down the wrath of these folks because these sources are always “wrong” (unless they say GM is great and/or agree with the conventional wisdom).

Those who hold such opinions as described above should either be patted on the head and sent off to bed, as one would a child, or perhaps best of all, ignored completely.

Robert, I agree. I personally used to not like Nissan like everyone else probably for the same reasons. I have been a tech for a year now with Nissan and have come to realize that they are one of the best brands out there. The Altima is one of the top 5 selling cars in the US. I just want to know why eveyone knocks them down. They have quality. They may not have the best MPG but Nissan has always been a performance type devision and according to most people on here that is what is important not gas mileage. I know arguing is not going to get me anywhere here but I have seen it over dumber things.

The interwebnet is a magic thing...

Amazingly, I managed to find a picture of you two at the last 350Z owner's rally:



The guy in the background on the right is the chief engineer for Nissan powertrain.

I think you posted the wrong picture. Last I remember that is you and your cousin.

Seriously you go from being biased to immature.

And then PacerX proves my point perfectly; does anyone need a better example of jealously, hatred, and childishness than what he just provided?

The man who proudly proclaims that he owns a ricer bike (Japanese sport bikes being where the term ricer originated, after all) then turns around and derides all things “rice” and with such great and thoughtful retorts like this wonderful picture.

This is now becoming way off topic...

To Robert: Ignore the kids and continue posting informative stuff (GM or non-GM related)....

Do you see the irony in what you just wrote?


As for the other post calling Nissan a performance division, give me a break. One sporty car doesn't balance that equation out.

Furthermore, I question whether anyone calling the new altima a "hooligan" has ever driven one...
