A whole fleet of Nissans in the family

lrgoldberg02 · 12-12-2009, 10:14 PM

After years of not having a single Nissan or Infiniti in the family, I can now say that my entire immediate family is now behind the wheel of a Nissan product.

Me - 2008 Infiniti G35xS and 2009 Nissan 370Z
Father - 2009 Nissan Maxima 3.5SV Sport
Mother - 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE
Sister - 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R

My family has had them on and off for years (89 Maxima SE, 98 Maxima SE, etc.), but this is the first time that we're all rocking these cars.

When Nissan was rebounding from the brink of disaster during the launch of the 2002 Altima, I went thru a phase where I didn't particularly care for any of these vehicles, but as they've stepped up their quality and design in recent years, I think I'd take a Nissan or Infiniti product in nearly every class over the competition.

Does anyone else have a whole family of Nissans?

I'm trying to get a Nissan Rogue for the old lady. Probably after the Holidays.

My brother, sister, and I all drive Nissans.
Sister - Murano
Me - 370z
Brother - Old Nissan Pick up (Similar to the Ford Ranger in size, never really learned the model)
Parents need a large truck to pull their 5th wheel around, so they got a Dodge 3500.

my bro has an 03 350z, i had an 03 g35 coupe and traded for my 370..

in a perfect world id get my girlfriend to buy the G37, FX, new Pathfinder, or a M35 but she is set on the is250 awd....

Unless my 370 eats my oil for lunch like my g35 did I will rock Nissans/Infiniti's and try to convince other people to drive them too

In 2008, I bought a new Altima coupe. Beautiful code red car. Haven't had one stitch of trouble with it. I'm using it in winter and bad weather. I very pleased with the CVT transmission in it----actually like it better than an automatic with noticeable gear changes and its warranty is now extended to 10 years/120,000 mi.!
