Nissan latest - Asking suppliers to pause payments..

I think that they only killed off the manual transmission Versa. The cvt version lives on.
Isn't 2025 supposed to be the last year for the Versa? I looked briefly on the Google and the various AI-written posts are leaving me unsure.

I believe its done in the USA.

I don't think Nissan has officially announced its complete demise - I think they will continue to sell in other markets. Its called something else in those markets - except Canada and Mexico I believe also use "Versa".
 
The Nissans I really liked were are sold here as Datsuns - the 1000, the 510, the B210, and the 240Z, and the 620 Sport Truck.
I guess I'm showing my age.
Perhaps I will be, also.
In late '79 or '80, my brother bought a brand new Datsun 210. He was working or the railroad and he had to put in lots of miles, so that was his reason for the purchase. About five years later, he sold it to me. It was very stripped down, but with the four cylinder and 5-speed, very economical. It was my college car and it never left me set. A few people called it a clown car because I'm 6'6" and myself getting out of this little cracker box must have been humorous to them. I'm just glad I was never in a wreck, because there really wasn't much to that car.
 
In the USA whomever was in charge here better have been fired twice. They spent way too much money chasing both the big truck market - doubling down with the Titan XD Cummins thing which was also a flop, and in splitting their product line to sell Infiniti - a brand really only ever marketed in the USA - in Japan and elsewhere those same cars are still Nissan, and sold for a more comparable price not the attempt to make it to BMW price tags for those cars :ROFLMAO: . So basically they completely abandoned there traditional customer base -people that wanted to go from A to B and not think very hard about doing it.
Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura were born to work around contracts with awful middlemen who were a necessary evil when the big Japanese three first came to America. The first two decades of Infiniti were quite decent cars, at least the flagship Q45 and its successors.

Agree on the sad disappearance of the 92 Sentra and all the other simple cars just like it.
 
Wonder if the millions of failed cvt transmissions had anything to do with this?

The older Nissans were nothing fancy but generally decent cars.
CVT was just bad design and Nissan was early adopter.

Nissan have always been third tier choice of Japan with a few notable exceptions, still are however not sure of current exceptions if any that are decent.

The Chrysler of Japan indeed!!
 
What does Nissan stand for? Like, what will the average consumer associate Nissan with (except Altima energy, which is really not anything positive)?
Our Nissan Juke has been probably the most reliable car we've ever owned. Its a manual 6 speed. I plan to buy another Nissan, never a CvT though. I like the Frontier Pro-4x and maybe a Versa manual for a beater.

Yeah those CVT's were really worth it. Like the subi deal longer warranty's, yeah don't get rid of something bad just keep tossing more $ at it.
 
The design was just not that good. On our Nissan, the hood was really heavy, and it wasn't large. Also, the door handles fell apart at like 45k miles.
