Titan gets axed. Chrysler to make full sized truck for Nissan

I think this is a smart move for Nissan. Nissan has many models in its product line from the feul thrifty Sentra and Versa, to the goliath, earth destroying, gas guzzling monsters like the Pathfinder Armada and the Infiniti QX-56.

We live in the US where gas prices are at $3.50 per gallon. And, unknown to GW, that's only 50 cents away from $4/gallon gas. The Pathfinder large and the QX56 are not going to be popular in this environment.

So what does Nissan do? Force those big boys to Chrysler, a car company which, for the second time, is desperately fighting for its continued existence, and then charge Chrysler and arm and their 1st born for permission to build the Versa and Sentra type models in Nissan's lineup.

It is payback to Chrysler again for pushing the wrong products at the wrong time. The Chrysler 300, Magnum and the HEMI. Heck, if gas fell back to $1/gallon I'd be keen on a HEMI, but not now.

Hey, The Big 3 CEO's have been quite clear on this point. Americans want to buy big SUV's and trucks - and that's why they continue to build them instead of fuel efficient smaller vehicles and why those honkin big vehicles sell so well!

Oh... wait... remove the last part of that sentence.

Poor sells????????????
