Jamesc Hypersonic December 28, 2019 Share December 28, 2019 "This week Nissan's stock hit lows not seen since September 2011 after Jun Seki, its vice chief operating officer and a former contender for CEO, said he was leaving the firm to become the president of Nidec Corp." Japanese staff never leave their companies one. One company one life. This smart one has changed the rules and is out the door. Every man for himself. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0y0ta Supercharged December 28, 2019 Share December 28, 2019 Nissan has been going downhill for a number of years, in terms of vehicle quality, marketing and desirability. For SG, some of the blame should be lay on distributor Tan Chong, which is in my opinion one of the poorer ones in this industry, even worse than Borneo Motors. Infiniti actually did quite well here, considering their laggard vehicle line-up, ever since Wearnes brought them back in again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese quality down the drain with crap French rubbish. Let see if Mercedes suffers the same fate with crap co developed Renault engines. the only French automotive product which I will wholeheartedly buy is Michelin tires. Any other French is bleeeh. Valeo Is rubbish as well. Edited December 28, 2019 by Mkl22 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with their CvT gearbox from Jatco, it makes for a slurring and horrible drive. I used to own the G11 Sylphy and I don’t miss it . In Singapore, the downhill for Tan Chong is really on the wall with the closing of their flagship Bukit Timah showroom and sale of their Toa Payoh facility .

Expand Every time I hear the Nissan local radio ad tagline "Innovations that Excite" , I always snigger to myself. Other than the 12-year old GT-R, there is nothing innovative or exciting about the local Nissan line up. Advertising is so removed from reality. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nav14 6th Gear December 28, 2019 Share December 28, 2019 I had the Teana 2.5 V6 for 10 years (1 owner) and it was a fantastic car for its price. I test drove the Camry 2.4 before placing the deposit for the Teana and i found the Camry pure rubbish just after 100m of moving off from from the showroom. I will be surprised if Nissan goes bankrupt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
