Cars.com Reviews the 2008 Nissan Titan

With heavyweights like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado in its class, the Nissan Titan has had trouble attracting buyers. It also doesn’t help that it consistently receives poor marks for reliability from consumer magazines. Given the obstacles the truck faces, can the 2008 Titan improve on its predecessors, and if so, can it then lure buyers? Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays is not all that optimistic.

The pickup market is a Mercury short of saturated. I am bored with it. I don't understand the appeal of driving one to the office on a daily basis. If Nissan isn't making a marginal profit on the Titan production, they should stop making the it. My 2 cents.

Bowrider,

Short of discontinuing the Titan, Nissan did have a major cutback on production for

Titan
Armada
Pathfinder
Quest
(Not sure 'bou Xterra or Frontier)

due to its shrinking sales of the truck & suv - well not just to Nissan, but to the entire auto industry. I personally think that it's a waste for most people to drive these vehicles anyways for thgs other than their true intended purposes (except for the Quest minivan). However, all of these vehicles have gas consuming V6 (not just to Nissan, but to every auto manufacturers), so they do eat up a lot of our natural resources, which have resulted in drive our daily expense on commodities much higher due to the shortening of enery supply from the Middle East. Anyhow, as an auto manufacturer, that's a very smart move to cut back. Unfortunately, quite a # of people lost their work too. I don't know if GM, Ford, Chrylser and Toyota have followed trend on reducing suv/trucks production though...

Amuro - I'd rather not get into the middle east dependent, tree hugger, Al Gore discussion. But, it is time for big truck manufacturers to face the reality that the demand for full size pick-ups has subsided. I can't help but think that the obsolete UAW drives truck production and not the market.
