Nissan Forum Guide

Nissan Forum Nissan was born in Japan, and like other marques from its homeland, the brand is known for crafting vehicles that place an emphasis on edgy styling and performance. The company's lineup of vehicles is broad, and includes sporty coupes, family sedans, minivans, trucks and SUVs. Unlike more established domestic competitors, Nissan didn't start offering its models to American consumers until the late 1950s. One of the brand's best recognized classics, the 2000 Roadster, made its debut in 1967; the car that instantly earned Nissan kudos for delivering affordable performance, the 240Z, hit these shores in 1970. Through the 60s and 70s, Nissan models were sold in the U.S. under the Datsun brand, but that changed in 1983 when the Nissan badge took over. That was also the last year of the Datsun 280ZX, a larger and heavier descendent of the original 240Z. These were the same years of the first Nissan Sentra and Nissan Maxima models.

Following the demise of the 280ZX was the introduction of the futuristic Nissan 300ZX in the mid 1980s, at which time the Nissan Pathfinder SUV made its inaugural appearance. Fast forward seven years or so and you come to the birth of the Nissan Altima, at that time a sedan noticeably smaller than the Nissan Maxima and available with only a four-cylinder engine. A few years later, in 1996, production of the 300ZX ended, and a couple of years after that, the redesigned Nissan Frontier replaced what had long been known as the Nissan Hardbody pickup. One year later, the Nissan Xterra SUV arrived.

After the turn of the new century, however, Nissan bounced back. Its redesigned Sentra and Altima were well-received, as were new models like the Titan and Armada. A 1999 alliance with Renault, a European automaker, also helped to shore up the company's finances. Today the manufacturer is known for offering a wide range of vehicles capable of going head to head with the best of the best when it comes to overall quality, dependability and performance.
