I never set out to be brand loyal, but right out of high school I got a 280Z. Because I was hanging around Datsun shops I was offered cheap B210's as I delivered pizzas in them to get through college.
Years later I bought a 300ZXtt and drove that until the 370. Inadvertently I became a Datsun/Nissan guy, or is it simply the cost for a great car. The 300zx was $45,000 while the NSX was $90,000 back in 1995. Now the 370 competes with cars considerably more expensive all while delivering Jap dependability. It is a tough combination to beat. If Nissan drops manual transmissions I will be disloyal for sure.

Trucks wise, I'm a Dodge man. Cars, was a Pontiac man until it took a DUMP. I was actually in the process of getting a G8GT... (The actual paperwork process) when Pontiac went Dump, and the financing went, got , absolutelly RETARDED. The salesman was like "we can't work this". I was like..."Well, Bye! They had a Nissan Stealership right next to'em. He goe's "you like ta go fast huh, wanna try a Z". I was offended that he though that I would even be interested in anything but American Muscle(yea,I know the G8 is Austrilan, but they believe in V8's just like americans do Down Under). Being the Tall Cool One, that I am, I responded "sure, why not"... AND THE REST IS HISTORY. This car was Sold on the first corner I took, I did'nt even realize it was a V6, it sounded odd, but pissed off...and PULLIN!!! I was a total virgin to Imports... Now, I'm a WHORE!!!!!

I started with a 2004 Titan and I loved it so much and so did my girlfriend that we traded in her Neon for 2004 Pathfinder. We still have the Pathfinder but I traded in the Titan for the Z. I love my Nissans. My brother has a Benz that is falling apart. My father has a Ford that sucks. My mother has a GTI that is nice, but I'll keep with my Nissans for now. I believe they have something that appeals for every application that I would need. I already have an itch for another Titan and also a 2012 GTR, which is out of the question right now, but soon enough. Luckily we don't have kids so when that happens then the GTR might come soon than I thought but perhaps I'll get a Maxima or Titan Crew Cab.

I'm usually partial to Hondas, but have been slowly starting to move to Nissans (see my sig). However, when we're ready to replace our CR-V (only 48K miles), it will probably be another CR-V, not the Rogue.

I've owned Nissans (and Datsuns) from time to time over the past 40 years and they've always been excellent cars. Every time I buy a different brand, I wonder why afterward and come back to Nissan. When I wanted an upscale sports car to go with my Miata, the thought of some exotic item scared me with prospects of huge bills. I knew if it was a Nissan, I'd have no aggravation and maintenance would be minimal and affordable---after all, it's a Nissan! How right I was---so far, anyway.

In the american car segment ford ftw. in the imports honda forsure but they just dont make a good or any for that matter rwd vehicle. The nissan to me are the only one's willing to be bold , plus the Z is damn sexy.

I was always a chevy guy, (1st car was a camaro), also owned an 89 K-5 Blazer (still miss that rig) and had a 70 chevelle for a while too.
Got married and my wife converted me to the nissan fold a while ago. Her first car was a 73 240z so her love of the Z car goes way back. I guess we're a die hard nissan family now. |
