2016 Nissan Frontier v 2016 Tacoma

not really. most people simply wait until it's available and then make their decision. not so much angst. when you have groups like this, i get it, but we're not the majority.

 

Rear spring and arm suspension

 

well, that is cool. Always thought the Tacoma should get a link rear end. They have been using it on the Land Cruisers for years, could build it with off the shelf parts...

 

Without knowing too much about either vehicle at this point, if I were to just pick based on paper and pictures we've seen thus I'd go with the Nissan. It's a full revamp unlike the Taco which borrows a lot from the 2nd gens. Something about that bothers me, iunno. In regards to the looks, the Navara NP300 is pretty much in-line with almost all of the other global market trucks (Hilux, Amorak, Ranger, Holden) in that it has a more sporty car like look than the American lets make a huge ass grill and then some theme. I prefer the way the global market trucks look more than our domestic market trucks. Again, that's all based on a limited amount of specs and pics we've seen on the net.

 

I own one and love it.

 

Just like the new Tacoma, a lot of people don't like the styling. But it is a good vehicle.

 

the qube wasnt built for america in mind. It was built for japan and was actually the best selling car over there for a few years.

 

....Anyone ever driven behind a cube..and thought it looked like a microwave on wheels?....

 

That shag carpet dash option tho.

 

Yeah, that option only belongs in a windowless van with an airbrushed wizard fighting a dragon. Otherwise...nah.

 

Nissan = Japanese GM

As long as you realize that, you are good.

 

I had an echo with 298000 on the clock with no problems all original everything when I wrecked it.

 

Dumb post of the day award goes to you.

 

Good drivetrians with cheapass interiors. Just like GM.

What do I win?

 

You just described a Tacoma.

 

Gm drivetrains are trash

 

Agreed. I tried Ford once - decent drivetrain but crappy electrical system.

All my Toyotas have been great, so why change?

 

Exactly
