What's hilariously poetic is all you clowns that said in the recent past "But but... it's a hyundai" lol.

Nissan at the board meeting. I think our ancient cars are the best and CVT's are the future no matter what 3/4 of the world thinks. We can change their mind with CVT and EV... So how do you here at nissan think we should move forward with recent models???
Oooh oooh I have an idea!!! Raising his hand eagerly at the Nissan development meeting! Yes Mr. Nagasaki. Says the CEO. Nagasaki says We can kick 73 hp out of a juke instead of adding 20. Keep selling a 15 year old pick up and a 12 year old sports car. Then call our 13 yr old halo a marvel in technology though its managed with windows 5.1.
CEO says... yes Nagasaki . Great business model. No innovation is the new innovation. Now let's go sell cars!!!

Hyundai/Genesis is a pig with lipstick! Many Pigs out there with lipstick. Cheap yes, sporty....maybe, piece of junk......yes. The key word is cheap. Walmart exists because things are cheap. Doesn't mean it sells good products, or they buy in such high volumes to sell at lower price. Majority of People in North America tend to lean toward cheap. Just the way it is.

You get what you pay for. EVERYTIME.

Couldn't disagree more.

H & K are where Toyota, Honda and Nissan were 30 years ago before they became fat & complacent. Quietly putting out very good cars at fair prices, while nobody in the industry pays much attention to them yet. And the Korean twins are rising faster than their Japanese counterparts did - partly because the car-buying market has grown by a couple of billion wallets in the intervening years.

I don't see a deficit in Korean quality over the last few Nissans that I have owned. The distinguishing factor is that Nissan (corporate, at least Nissan Canada) has walked away from their problems like a dog from a crap.

As far as the "you get what you pay for", that's as may be. How do you feel about the new C8 Corvette for under CAD$73,000? I'll admit that the jury is still out on that one, but on paper, you would seem to get considerably more than you pay for. Until the doors fall off and the engine overheats, anyway.

If hyundai makes a GTR competitor for $70k? Its nail in the coffin for Nissan. You can choose to buy whatever shytmobile to hold your redneck nbred anti Korean stances on Korean cars...
But they're fvckin Nissan in the azz with no gel. N it's kinda funny. Lol. Cuz nissan is now the new hyundai. Lol

It's like automotive role play sex.

well having there name in F1 hasn't help, wondering if next year it will be gone from the program as sponsor. Not like that team is exactly in the top 4. And with lots of racing in Western Europe doesn't make sense

Having both Renaults finish any given race in the last 2 seasons has been a rarity. Mostly due to engine problems. Not sure that Nissan / Infinity WANT to still be associated with that team!

Nissan's global business model = light commercial trucks (primarily in Asia), electric vehicles and X-Trail/Rogue/Sentra/Altima. Nissan has de-emphasized Infiniti many years ago.

You're still driving it bruh? Kool. You took a lot of flack on here from going from Z to gen. But I always felt the hyundai engine felt kinda better than the vq. The Z had the suspension and transmission game tight. But I also remember the gen having really comfortable seats. It was a great car. I hope they bring it back!!

Yep, gonna drive it into the ground. Which apparently is going to be a while. Still recovering financially from the divorce but hoping to upgrade in a couple years.
