Only 1168 Titans sold in the whole month? That is less than Leaf sales for the month.

I can't believe switching from full frame RWD to unibody CUV almost tripled Pathfinder sales. I also can't believe they managed to sell almost 17K Rogue's. I wonder how much of that is fleet?

I can't believe they are selling that many Pathfinders when its competition is so much better
