The funds will be used to modernize internal systems at its headquarters and accelerate digital modernization and the rollout of AI-driven systems
If a signigicant portion of those funds are going to AI, they are doomed.
They already sell their vehicles to Altima drivers. I think doom was already on the menu.
Any company that puts two thermostats in a 4 cylinder engine gets a no from me.
They were doomed from the second they tied their company success to those terrible awful JATCO steel belt CVT's.
And told everyone those and the normal ATs didn't ever need their fluid changed.
They don't because the car will be in the wreckers before the fluid needs changing.
All they need is a transmission not made of cheese.
Hope the money truck doesn’t have a CVT
I get this joke.
My quest feels this comment in it's poorly built tranny
even the cars are woke! this is ridiculous!
If the joke arrived safely, it looks like it wasn't a Nissan. Perhaps it had an Aisin transmission?
Sure, lean into AI. Don't worry about the really shitty transmission you're still sticking in most of your cars, AI will fix it
Lolol the lengths a CEO will go to protect their ego. (Rather than be a subsidiary to Honda because he wants to be an equal partner.)
To be fair, Honda isn't exactly a great company today either, it's been a good 20 years since they made a decent car.
Honda E is the closet thing they've got to something decent, but overbuilt to the max and therefore 3x more expensive than it should be.
Stop making shitty cars
Yeah Nissan has been shit for 20 years, not surprising that it's catching up to them.
The new Z is very reminiscent of the old Datsun 280. Or 240? Whatever, the cool one.
According to the article, they're selling it for ¥97 billion but will lease it back, so they will post a ¥73.9 billion gain from the sale. But in the first half of 2025, they posted a loss of ¥221.9 billion. So selling their HQ will offset about two months' worth of losses.
On the topic of car manufacturers, are there any new non-chinese (i.e. state funded) car-brands or is the market so consolidated and regulated that entry is pretty much impossible?
Hyundai, VW, Rivian, Polestar, Lucid, and GM still make electric cars, and generally good ones.
A used 2021 model 3 or y from Tesla will probably be th cheapest you can get without getting something like a used bolt, volt, or leaf.
Oof.
I'm driving a 26 year old Nissan and it still runs great.
Please don't become another shitty car company. I thought I had an easy choice to make when I needed a new vehicle.
Sadly, it's age is the reason you love that Nissan. Their cars have been steadily getting worse the last decade or two
But shareholder earnings have improved. And in the end, isn't that what we all want? /s
Their ex-ceo who was responsible for all the cost cutting packed himself in a suitcase to escape the country, so maybe it didn't work out after all
Once about 2002 hit, things went to shit for Nissan.
I dunno, I had a 2007 Nismo 350Z, #94, and that cr was sweet af. It may not have been representative of the brand as a whole.
That's true for the 350's, I'll agree. Their v6 engines were pretty rock solid and those were designed and built by Nissan in Japan, along with the transmissions, and they weren't CVT's. A lot of their econo vehicles had Renault junk in them and their 4 cylinder engines didn't hold up as well. Fun cars to drive, but not as fun or nimble as the s2000 I used to own and now dearly miss.
Same. I drive a 22-year old 350Z Roadster manual and I plan on keeping it forever. I beat on it cause it's a sports car, yet it's never needed anything more beyond basic maintenance. They just don't make them this simple and reliable anymore.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
