Nissan’s profit zoomed up more than 10-fold in July-September from a year earlier, boosted by a weak Japanese yen and strong vehicle sales around the world. The Japanese automaker, allied with Renault SA of France, reported a 190.7 billion yen ($1.3 billion) profit in the last quarter, up from 17.4 billion yen the year before. Quarterly sales surged 25% to 3.15 trillion yen ($20.9 billion), the company said Thursday.

    The Z sure is a interesting car. Shame no dealer within 300 miles of me ever has any. It’s nothing but a sea of silver Altimas.

      They’re banned from entering the US. A few got in, but the US put stop-orders on both the manual and automatic versions, both of which are still in effect afaik, which afaik means that all Zs bound for the US are stuck in customs-limbo hell.

      So until Nissan fixes their transmissions to the US govt’s approval, there’s a finite supply for their sports car, which has caused the usual “fuck you pay me” attitude of dealerships to go through the roof with the model.
