...to get the oil changed in the Frontier. (Don't judge me for not doing it myself. They only charge me $10 and they feed me breakfast). While they were doing their thing, I decided to walk around the parking lot. It's sad to say but there was nothing in the entire lot that really grabbed my attention. Nothing that said, "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!!" Not even the Z. Nissan better do something impressive soon. If not, there are going to be a lot of people who are just going to drive on past their dealerships to get to the Kia / Hyundai / Ford / Subaru lot.

If they're only charging you $10, thats way more economical than doing it yourself! plus, free food is free food.

I feel the same way though. The only thing that really calls to me as a pass a Nissan dealership is the few Z's sitting outside. And I don't thinking buying one new will really ever be a viable option.

It somewhat reminds me of Chevrolet in the 90s. They had the Corvette as an example of its engineering talent, sold alongside deplorable turds like the Lumina, Cavalier, Monte Carlo, Venture, and Beretta.

I know exactly what you mean...I like the look of the newer frontiers but it's not enough to distract me from my drooling stares at the audi dealership that is across the street

Don't you hate on the Cavalier! You know you wanted some of this goodness back in the day;

Just go to the Infiniti lot instead. Leave the CVTs for the peons.

Wait. Are you saying those unsold Carlos Ghosn signature limited edition Murano Cabriolets did not make your heart beat faster?? Even with a CVT transmission, and genuine imitation wood dash inserts? :)

I actually like them....and they sound godly with a Flowmaster 40, probably the best sounding V6.

Friend of mine swapped a 3.1 into a Cavalier. It was a total POS, but holy heck could it move.

Pretty sad when the old school Chevy Cavalier jacks a thread about Nissan dealers.

Now I want a 3.1 Cavalier. I'd troll the parking lots of cosmetology schools. :chuckle:
