    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."

      A couple German phrases I know are ' Bitte ture schliessen' (please close the door, which I learned on the Milan to Venice train 20+ years ago, and 'fahrt nicht bumplitz' (do not drive to Bumplitz) which I read on a Swiss newspaper headline and it stuck in my head...

      I've learned a few choice phrases in German. Recently, a few buses quarreled with each other by extended honking at a Sicilian airport.   There will always be a German or two or three on the shuttle buses, leaving the airport so I turned to one and said, "Die Sizilen ist unterhaltsam."  That means "Sicily is entertaining." One of the first things I learned is "die Sieben-vier-sieben is sehr gut."  That means "the 747 is very good."

      What Are You Listening To?

      I have no clue about current American music and I don't like what I hear.  I think it really peaked in the seventies, eighties and nineties ... and younger people who come to know that music also come to admit that same thing.
