    I had a '92 Diamante LS, bought used 2008. Pretty nice machine, Pearl White, 3.0l, nice leather, nice machine overall.

    Traded it for a 2000 Lexus GS300. Comparable power and handling, but the RWD Lexus was shit in snow. FWD Diamante was great in snow if the roads were plowed and didn't have to deal with drifts over four inches.

    This has always been a very "Love it or hate it" generation of Z-cars in my opinion (this is a 1989 model, the last year they made them); My uncle loves the original Datsun Zs but thinks these are hideous. However, I see these at car shows relatively frequently and while I would probably never buy one, I don't think they're that bad looking...

    These cars were so 1980s that they practically came with leg warmers!

    My dad almost bought a Nissan Pulsar new in the early eighties because a dealer was selling models with air-conditioning for like six or seven grand! He ultimately ended up buying a new 1983 Toyota Celica GT, which was probably a better choice...

    I drove a 2012 crew cab long bed titan for a few years and I can attest that it drives 10x better then the Tacoma. Apple to orange comparison but I’d thought I share.

    LOL, especially since a Titan is a full-size pickup! But that's what this thread is for... :p

    Hence why I mentioned the apples lol. Just saying it’s a great truck with zero issues after 40,000 miles. If it was a 4x4 I would have kept it.

    Kudos to Nissan for debuting a regular cab pickup at a time when some manufacturers were getting rid of that configuration!

    The only thing that sucks about the GT-R in my opinion is that Nissan never offered it with a genuine manual transmission...
