Those Titan sales numbers are abysmal.  It will be really interesting to see how they price the XD model.  The new truck isn't exactly a looker so I think the XD model is about their only hope.  I say that without seeing a single review of the new truck yet so who knows.  Maybe it will be more competitive than I think it will be.

 

I have to say I am totally amazed that combined Sentra and Versa sales totaled almost 25k units.

Versa buyers remind me of Camry buyers. They must go straight to Nissan and not cross-shop at all. For such an awful penalty box, it continues to be the best selling sub-compact car. It pays to be the cheapest, I suppose.
