I wish I had a little 70s Datsun pickup for weekend errands though.

Meh. I still miss Datsun.

I drove a green 1970 Datsun 210 station wagon. (Also wrecked a green 210 Datsun)

What a shame. Would have been cooler if Nissan cars had adopted the Infiniti platforms..

Nissan is hurting right now. Their big gamble didn't pay off.

Isn’t that what every other auto mfg does?

No.. Accura and Lexus both use separate platforms.. not standard Honda & Toyotas

Accura does platform share across a lot of the models (which is an issue for them competing in the space) and the Lexus

Platform sharing is why companies like Land Rover or Jaguar can survive despite crappy reliability scores.

Which is why I worry about the future of Land Rover

That’s not true. There might be a couple of unique vehicles at most, but Toyota

Not true for most Lexus. There may be a unique platform or two in there

Yep, same with Vw/Audi, etc. I’m surprised people are so uneducated on cars

Porsche SUVs are getting rolled into that as well.

I don't think any of their RWD vehicle platforms are shared, at least in the US. All of their SUVs are. The NSX and RL

Lexus

Bert609

6/2/20 9:39am

Um, nope. There is some of that. But also lots of sharing. It isn’t much differe

Not true. They share many platforms

LyleLanley

6/2/20 9:34am

But they do have platforms that are independent... that was my point.

TheLost

The problem isn't platform sharing, it's the type of platforms they are moving to Infiniti. Remember when Cadilliac

Used Infiniti's are a great bargain. Very well built, long lasting, low prices.

6/2/20 9:27am

That's too bad. I loved my G37.

6/2/20 10:11am

Such a bummer. Cars like the G37 & Q50 were so much more fun to drive than their Nissan counterparts.
