And sold 2000+ Titans as well.

Link

Anyone else surprised by this? I thought they would only sell about a 1000 of each in the first few months.

I guess having them built in USA makes them quicker to get to the US market.

That Titan sure is beautiful.
Nissan has sooo got it's act together.. all they need now is a hot hatchback with a small displacement v6 to complete their line.

If they want to hit their sales goal of 100k/per year on this truck, they really need to step up advertising and pick up sales. They need at least They need to sell a little over 4 times that many to hit that goal :Q

Nissan was on it's way into the grave in the mid-90's: They had HUGE debt and sales were sinking. Renault bought 49% of the company, then turned the whole train around by cutting costs severely (evident in most Nissan interiors), redesigning EVERY model to be class leading, introducing a blitz of new new models, reviving the ailing Infiniti Brand with new models, and entering the truck market. Introducing some french designers and actually making some edgy designs was definitly a big plus :)

Nissan doesn't even expect to sell that many.

Hell, they'd be happy if they got 1/8th of Ford's F150 sales.


I'm still surprised to see them sell that many on their first month.

If I read it correctly, most of their numbers are down.

IIRC, they're nearly out of debt and are making like 200% more profit than last year. Looks at the bolded totals: Nissan Cars is down %0.10 percent, Nissan Trucks is up 10.6%, Infiniti Cars is up 21.2%, and Infiniti Trucks is up 92.6%. Year to date, sales are up 7.4%. Time to work on those reading comprehension skills ;)

Nissan's goal was to sell 100,000 Titans within the first year and a half of sales. It needs to pickup if they expect to reach that goal. (No pun intended)
