    Nissan Frontier Replacement Going To Take Awhile

    And the award for the oldest truck lineup goes to Nissan. Their current lineup, the mid-size Frontier and full-size Titan stand at six and seven years respectively. Car & Driver says their replacements are going to be awhile.

    Starting with Titan, a source tells Car & Driver we’re still “a couple of years” away from seeing the finished product. This corroborates our story last November saying the Titan could be released by 2014.

    As for the Frontier, development is further behind the Titan. Sources say the Frontier will remain a body-on-frame vehicle, most likely sharing the frame with the Xterra.

    Frontier, like Tacoma, is in that difficult spot where it's too big and thirsty for a compact... I believe Nissan and Toyota should discontinue their full-size trucks and the SUVs that are based on them.

    It's time for another compact truck revolution.

    There is a tuffness that UniBody cannot compete with when it comes to Body on Frame. Unibody CUV's do not seem to last like a Body on Frame SUV.

    At the same time, we could see Nissan come out with an amazing Body on Frame Hybrid using small Turbo Diesel that can and does handle the off road life and people would flock to it.

    "Don't mind me," says the Jeep Comanche. "I know it's hard to believe I'm a unibody design."

    The Jeep Cherokee then chimed in, "Don't forget about me, dear brother. How could you? My unibody construction is hell-and-trail proven, too."

      Problem is, the people that listen to dis-informative news are too stupid to know what damage Trump has done.  I bet anybody that listens to that video has no idea who those guys laughing at Trump are.  I only recognize Macron.  But I easily understand the dynamics.  The ignorant phoques that have no idea what that video is about also think that its a 'fake' news video.  Everything those people believe in is false. The irony being those people think that their point of view is the only true and righteous point of view.   Its disgusting how these fools have been fooled...

      Hyundai News:2026 IONIQ 5 EV Lineup has Major Price Reduction

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      What makes this so great is that the reduction is more than the IRA Rebate and way better than the idiot Tesla 11% increase in cost with an auto $6,500 Tesla rebate for purchases or leases. Tesla is stupid compared to Hyundai. At least Ford and GM have honored the $7,500 rebates still but kept prices the same. I suspect we will see them drop prices to compete with Hyundai. Be interesting to see how Kia and Genesis responds as well as the European companies and the few Japanese options.
