NISSAN USA IDIOTS

Dec 05, 2003 7 Replies

I emailed Nissan USA asking 3 questions.



1 Did Nissan ever sell a hardbody diesel in the USA?
2 When did Nissan stop selling diesels in the USA?
3 Will Nissan ever bring back the diesel? ANSWERS as follows:
1 Nissan never sold diesels to consumers in the USA (I owned an 82 kingcab diesel) (not only pickups but they also sold Sentra diesels here at the same time AND Maximas). "Nissan never sold Hardbodies in the USA"
3 Nissan has no plans to sell diesels in the USA

Well considering the person who answered this probably wasn't born when they did sell them here... :-)

Yep, they sold diesel's when they were Datsun but never have sold a Nissan diesel in the US. :-)

That person is correct... NISSAN never Sold a Diesel in the U.S. And as you are asking people whom read the English language literally, they were correct in their response and you were incorrect in your Q.

As NISSAN did not come of age in badging until later in the years.

Now, Datsun, on the Other HAND... :-)

Would this be better:

1: Who cares 2: Who cares 3: Maybe?

*DING*!!! We HAVE a winner!

Next time, ask a historian, not Nissan. Their focus is on now and ahead, not too much on past. Also, rumor is that there will be a Titan based diesel out soon. I think new Car and Driver or Autoweek has a blurb on that.
