Troubled Japanese automaker Nissan says it is selling its headquarters building in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo, for $630 million as part of its revival efforts.
That’s true for the 350’s, I’ll agree. Their v6 engines were pretty rock solid and those were designed and built by Nissan in Japan, along with the transmissions, and they weren’t CVT’s. A lot of their econo vehicles had Renault junk in them and their 4 cylinder engines didn’t hold up as well. Fun cars to drive, but not as fun or nimble as the s2000 I used to own and now dearly miss.
Same. I drive a 22-year old 350Z Roadster manual and I plan on keeping it forever. I beat on it cause it’s a sports car, yet it’s never needed anything more beyond basic maintenance. They just don’t make them this simple and reliable anymore.
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.
Once about 2002 hit, things went to shit for Nissan.
I dunno, I had a 2007 Nismo 350Z, #94, and that cr was sweet af. It may not have been representative of the brand as a whole.

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
