Yes-but I have already read where a Pathfinder was on a buyers short list and is now reconsidering because of the financial state of the company. I was going to buy a new Kizashi Suzuki sedan several years ago. Then News reports surfaced about how they might leave the U.S. I told this to a sales manger who called me up looking to "close the deal" on one I had looked at previously. He said no way that was going to happen. No less than two weeks later the announcement was made they were leaving the U.S. Bought a Subaru-which proved later perhaps wasn't the best decision either- but that's another story.

But yet I read that the Rogue is the third best selling vehicle in it's class.

Nissan's biggest problem (IMHO) is it dealer network. All manufacturers have certain dealers who are known on the Internet as the "bad boys". Nissan dealers come up pretty frequently. What ever happens-who ever ends up with Nissan will not be getting a full size pickup-as everyone knows the (outdated) Titan has been discontinued.

Electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 17.2% of monthly new vehicle registrations in the Seattle area in January 2023 — up from 8.4% in January 2022. All told, the Seattle area saw 2,722 newly registered electric vehicles in January. The big picture: The Seattle region's adoption of EVs has far outpaced the nation's. https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/04/20/electric-vehicles-seattle-registrations

Am I wrong to believe that in Seattle there are many who would be interested in an EV?. It's an outdoorsy-environmental aware type of group that live there-isn't it? I have visited two or three times.

Sounds like the thread when the Silverado Heavy Duty trucks came out. Front-end ugly, etc. Well sales are proving otherwise.

There was no irony-it's Toyota. They are all in on hybrids-and look at the EV market stagnating. Toyota as a company is brilliant.

Myself and others on this board have predicted the pricing on new trucks is not sustainable. Not only trucks-either. It turns out those predictions may have had some validity.

I am not particularly a Toyota guy-but Toyota will print money with this redesign......

It is a VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM and appears to have been acknowledged by Ford with at least two or three part updates. I went to the Ford Dealer and their transmission specialist told me they had 50-yes 50 transmissions in line for issues. He knew exactly the symptoms. He knew they either appear in 3,4,5 or the higher gears. He knew that before some had a downshift from 10th to 1st (yes-you read that right) when on the highway. It is not strange at all. You didn't say what year you had-but if you have 2017 through 2020-you have at least two design issues from the factory. The 2024s have the new parts. I understand that this is a Ford board-but I'm not getting in to an debate that there are not issues-because there are. If you do not have the ten speed-you don't have issues. ON EDIT-Posted at approximately 7 p.m. on a Ford Truck site- Hi, I had my 2020 F150 into the dealer at 49,000 miles for rough shifting. The rough shifting happens between 3-5 and occasionally in the higher gear like 7-9. I also notice rough downshifts. They reset the adaptive tables but I’m still noticing the rough shifting. I really notice it driving in manual mode and shifting it from like 6-5 and 5-4. How long does the adaptive tables take to learn before I should take it back. They did find the tsb 23-2250. Thank you end post Those who have had the adaptive shifting relearn states in almost all cases the symptoms return.

I have a 2020 f-150 W/THE 3.5. The ten speed transmission is the worst I have experienced in owning like 40plus vehicles. IT'S THAT BAD....

I would agree a $5,000 .00 discount from MSRP doesn't move the needle on a truck that has gone up $12,000.00 plus.

I believe we have an affordability crisis coming in regards to trucks especially. Of course this not exclusive to Ford. I bought a slightly used F150 (2020) Lariat over a year ago with 26,000 miles on it at the new factory sticker was $47,000.00. That same truck is substantially more in 2024. I would like to upgrade-can even afford to do so-but outright refuse to do so at current prices. This current pricing situation-IMHO is not substainable.

Some feel the decline in Jeep sales is due to the escalation in prices. Who wants to buy a $50,000 vehicle to beat it up off road? Not as many as before-it seems.
