Also, Nissan in Japan and Europe have almost entirely divorced SUV and Truck sales, banishing them to doomed new brands, but Nissan USA doesn't seem to have the guts to do that when they still rely so heavily on those sales for gross margin. Every time I see a Titan ad I wonder if there is a Japanese executive in Nissan cringing.
I suspect that Nissan USA management remembers the outcome from the last time a Renault vehicles were imported into the US [0].
