How would you fix Nissan?

2018 Nissan Leaf 60 kWh battery with 80 kWh option, 10kW onboard charger standard, 18kW optional. ChaDeMo standard on all trims. 10 year 100,000 mile battery capacity warranty that replaced the battery for free if it drops below 80% of its new capacity. Gasoline range extender option available. 10 kW EVSE (Plug in to NEMA 14-50) provided with every car. Set your own charge percentage limits, anything from 40% to 100% and anywhere in between. Heat pump standard on all models. Solar roof to power a fan to keep the interior cooler when parked in sun, maybe charge the battery very slowly.

This kills the Tesla.

Put infiniti's new engines in everything.

*bring back $10k small trucks
*kick CVTs to the curb OR use in motorcycles to:
*create motorcycle/trikebike division to compete with Yamaha/Honda touring bike boomer market share
*special "Dougs Stanza" Venture Brothers model
*moar fast(ish) cheap coupes

I wrote a long ass blog about the S13 and its trims, though I'm not sure how 4chen handles links since I haven't read the rules

You can link to whatever you want, this website isn't a complete shithole like reddit.

how to fix Nissan.
come out with a big car that looks cool rwd but simple hoped up turbo 4 cylinder. Than come out with a cheep small rwd car that has na engine.

basically 1992 Nissan
when Nissan was based
fire all the women and fags designing there cars now.

Why would the GTR be the affordable sports car when that was the intent of the Z car? Since the beginning the Z car was always the affordable sports car that you could actually do sporty things in. You're stupid if you're gonna create competition within your own brand.

Everything else I agree with.

1. Axe the sentra and replace it with the 510. Rear drive, 5 speed manual/6 speed auto with a very bare bones versa-esque interior, and price it to undercut the FR-S by 10K. Give it an NA 2l with plenty of space in the engine bay for poorfag tuners to slap turbo kits on it.
2. Rejoion the GT-R with the skyline chassis. Lock the starting price at 65K. Don't give it a diet, give it a hit in performance, but make it more of a grand-tourer to compete with the E-class AMG for a fraction of the price and slightly less luxury
3. Bring back the Gloria, Start it at 65K, and make it compete with the S-class. Offer a limited build Prince version to compete with the ferrari 599.
4. Bring overstock of Kei-trucks and VIP minivans outside japan on a limited basis. Test the waters a bit.
5. Produce an S16 silvia, with an all new 2l turbo engine, a 5 speed auto and a fastback version marketed as the "sportscar with space". Price it above the 510 to compete directly with the FR-S, but offering significantly more power for the same money
6. Drop the MSRP for the titan by 5K and start taking shots at the F150's high price
7. Fill the current GT-R's slot with an all new model. Give it a mid mounted twin charged V6, all wheel drive, active tail and chin spoilers, and 3200lbs. Price it at 110K starting and aim for the McLaren 650 and the new NSX
8. Make a sports leaf with a responsive suspension and a mid mounted single electric motor. Start it at 40K
9. Launch a pure sports, hard riding, loud and rumbly version of the micra with a loud BOV, a stiff suspension, racing seats, and all the other bits to make you think you've bought a race car. Price it to compete with the john cooper works mini. Try and outbid toyota to sponser the grand prix of longbeach and supply Micra-Rs to the celebrity race
10. Continue the trend of adding power and lightening the curbweight of the Z. Supercharge the next one from the factory.

electric midsize sedan

>3. Bring back the Gloria, Start it at 65K, and make it compete with the S-class. Offer a limited build Prince version to compete with the ferrari 599
wut

Sell it to Renault

Undercut the shit out of mercedes, and offer it in markets outside of japan. The4 prince version would be the big stupid performance discoball for rich oil barons and greasy hollywood jews with their fingers stuck in underage holes.

Also infiniti would be dissolved. Having a "luxury" version implies that the normal version is chinsy.

Make something like the GT86 but with with a better engine. 2.5l NA with 240HP and strong internals would be good.

im bookmarking that shit user

mazda levels of styling revamp
nissans look like shit now

>Litterally nothing to appear to the soccer mom base
>Not being cucked by times and accepting the new business model of auto making brands

Nissan top brass to engineer:
We need you to have that car designed, tested and ready for sale by next week.
Engineer:
Datsun?!

i agree
everything but the higher-trim titan and patrol/armada look like complete ass

Start making d21's again.

- start making more S plat cars again
- start making RB style I6

keku

Move everything back to glorious Nippon.

they would go bankrupt so fast with you at the helm lmao

I'm OK with this. The entire lineup was great. I'd buy an S13 coupe brand new right now for GT86 prices.

>proper compact truck that can be had for under 20k with out being a punishment box.

replace the current Z with a small turbo i4 rwd coupe for about the same price.

very well done

wektor looks like vector, even has similar styling cues

release this thing

>Axe the sentra
What this user below said was pure truth.
You fool, the sentra is the bread winner of the brand.

*affordable Supersports car, since people are triggered when calling the R35 a supercar

doesn't have to kill off the other cars currently on sale

working on S14 Guide, but couldn't find something on EU Special Versions Sportline, Racing and Z-Edition. Gonna ask in a forum, hoping to get some answers there. Plus need some Autech facts too

Wektor build afaik only Ferrari 348 replicas. I know 3 models of them, the S13 that's in the guide, The 'W48'; which is a AW11 MR2 based build and the 'Competition'; a MK3 Supra build. Picture is Supra

Offer Nismo trims for almost all of their cars. Instead of being like a top level trim, make it a strictly driving enthusiast trim.
>Base level
>Manual only
>No extra bullshit options
Maxima nismo with a manual transmissions would be awesome. If you want a more gran touring experience, you would need to look into Infiniti's lineup.

get rid of everything and bring back the 240sx

>buy back company from Renault

take old car that people like now
make new version of same size and weight but with better/newer engine
give it a new name distinct from old models but related to them
ignore current design trends
trim levels
rolling chassis - bare bones ergonomic - nice things - NIZMOOOOOOO

forgot Autismo Autech

Make interesting cars again.

you forgot the gts t

GTS-T, the thing the BRZ wanted to be

Nissan sport series sub devision..

3 or 4 different sports cars.

Paying fromage to the nissans of old..

Redone to fit the modern car market.

Similar to the bmw m division, mercedes amg..

Would love to see a r32 coupe.

..wait i forgot about the nismo.

2avantgarde4me
they can make the combined sports and luxury trims
while nizmo dials in on only performance/racing

The GTT is the R34 version of the R33/32 GTS-T

neat
I've never seen the lower trims of r34
mostly r32 and r31 in low trims are like roaches

this, fuck all this super car obsession, we need cool affordable sport cars
from Silvia to Z to GT aru

What the fuck, is that a reverse NACA duct on the wheels?

...

yes and it appears to be cast

Bump

With this whole Kobe steel embarrassment, Japanese manufacturing is starting to look less appealing.

fuck nip cars. shouldve nuked them more

>samefagging

FR Altima and something sentra-like (with 1.2-2.0L engines)
remove chrome from interiors
optional 4ws for all cars (maneuverability in cities)
add steer-by-wire to micra, pulsar, juke and leaf
partner with FCA and make make experimental multiair, variable compression powered Q30
390z as a "driver's car" with fuckhuge amount of down force (adjustable)
R36 (TBA)
make 125cc scooters for chinks and indians

Pray it doesn't get redesigned then, ever.

That platform is from 2010, it's bound to get the chopping block sooner or later.

>THIS
Make Maxima great again!

Start by investing more on Infiniti and MAYBE Mitsu R&D

ehhh its doin pretty good.

The new Micra is already cool looking but still lacking in the engine department

With the S16 also Nissan should use a revvy engine of their own instead of a Mercedes 2.0 turbo they've put in a few Infinitis. Redline at atleast 7k.

I think the natural way the Z35 is gonna go is that it's gonna get the VR30DDTT in the 405hp trim.

>R36 GTR, easily moddable, affordable sports car. Doesn't have to have fancy interior, should just be sharp and balanced/light, not the fuckhueg R35

But you know it won't be this. Right? It's gonna be a hybrid and it's gonna be even heavier, although the weight isn't the problem but the dimensions as the R35 already was sharp and balanced regardless of its fuckhugeness.

>make all cars DIY fixable with actual home tools and a repair manual. make it easy and accessable from everyone. Simplicity is key.

This very much, but modern cars and it's not beneficial to manufacturers let people fix their own shit, rather have them break after warranty ends and have to have them fixed at certified dealerships.

1. yes, cool and interesting, wouldn't be too profitable though
2. >GT-R
>grand tourer
nah, boring idea, and the new GT-R hybrid will be a sub 7-minute Burgerking time supercar anyways
3. >ferrari 599
when did you write this? Also Nissan wouldn't do it if it wasn't called an Infiniti, and probs the market size isn't large enough for nissan to want to compete there.
4. testing the waters is the only thing they could and would do in that regard, I doubt they'd be too popular
5. Yep, agreed with this on the other comment, but fuck off with the auto. 6MT as the only tranny option
6. Not that easy to hack the price like that. And isn't the Titan doing well enough as it is?
7. Doesn't need to be twincharged and the GT-R being front engined has worked for them well enough, no reason for this especially since I disagree with merging the GT-R back to the skyline
8. lmao no
9. Yep. Something like the K10 Superturbo. Rare and interesting
10. >supercharge
no. Turbo yes,

t.

This.

>Yes.
>would need to be aluminum block.
Iron block turbo sixes are heavier than VEEATES

>idk about the hybrid as standard, but more hybrids yes,
>retail pricing instead of haggling has never worked with cars. look at saturn and scion
>longer warranties yes
>leave the mid mount V6 to renault

would be a shit business descision

t.

Some of my own ideas I had laying around already written

Nissan:

>the American Versa is a sad excuse of a car
>so introduce the European C13 Pulsar to America, albeit it's not too great of a car itself
>maybe make a sedan version of it too

>the new Micra is also something that Americans could buy so introduce it there

>the Leaf doesn't need a fucking Nismo version

>the new S16 could sell if they just did what the Toyobaru was intended to be
>ie. give it a good four banger turbo that revs to 7k
>instead of a Merc engine the Infiniti Q30 and Q60 use

>as the new Toyota Century is coming, maybe make a new Nissan President
>market it as the Infiniti Q80 or 90 in America
>would give a better image of Infiniti

>Europe needs a sedan so give them anything.

and forgot to mention

t.

They are rumors of a Q80 coming actually.

Eliminate pic related in the entire lineup. It will never be what they want. And consumers will never like it.

Focus on weight saving and Interior space expansion. Make every small car almost like a Tardis. Redefine the Versa with a 1.5L turbo engine, stiff ride, stiffer chassis. Offer hybrid alternative in a two box wagon/hatchback that gets 50mpg minimum. Bring back the Pulsar name.

Focus efforts on an Altima racing program. Trickle down improvements from racing to the street car. Engine and transmission dynamics most important.

Give the Maxima a diet and AWD and a lift back wagon. It is begging to be a four door GTR.

Replace the 370 with a lightweight roadster Fairlady Sports 200 and start challenging Miatas dominance.

We can talk about the SUVs later.

Oh yes it actually seems so. Luckily the concepts are concepts since that thing is just too much of a concept still.

Apart from the Juke maybe, as it exists for no reason, the crossovers are aight shitboxes maybe apart from the reliability. The Qashqai just sells so much in Europe.

>sell no cars other than the Nissan Leaf in Canada
>kill off Infiniti

hiroshima their HQ and factories

The qashqai is junk. It sells because it is cheap and heavily rebated.

The CVT is garbage no matter its application.

Nismo Versa hatch

saturn and scion died from lack of product

saturn owners were very brand loyal and loved retail pricing.

go ahead and hybrid everything. toyota pretty much has hybrid optional for everything and known for the prius. so make hybrid all standard to draw some toyota business in . plus your lineup is future proof when/if countries start banning sales of cars that are not hybrid/EV.

Make this fucking thing. Fuck it, make SOMETHING interesting.
