I think I have about as much chance of winning the state lottery (that I don't buy tickets for) as this does of happening.

 

But you never know...

 

EDIT! HOLY CRAP... it's true!

It was just a matter of time. That is what I think. Titian goes bye bye. Who cares?? Obviously not very many, looking at the first Quarter sales numbers.

 

When I saw this the other day it just confirmed what I said all along about the State of Mississippi spending my tax money on a effin' Japp Co. to come here to assemble Junk that no one wants. "We the tax payers of MS are gonna be left holding the bag, when these things don't sell!"

Makes sense, Dodge cant build a decent small car and nissan cant build a decent full size truck.

Wild. I saw a headline about this a few days ago, but I didn't have time to read it.

 

DETROIT -- Under an expanded product sharing alliance announced today, Chrysler LLC will become Nissan's pickup truck manufacturer, while Nissan will make subcompacts for Chrysler. The agreement means Nissan will discontinue making its Titan pickup when Chrysler starts making Nissan-badged trucks in 2011.

 

In exchange, Chrysler will get a Nissan-based small car, built at Nissan's Oppama, Japan, factory to Chrysler's own design starting in 2010. The new car is destined for North America, Europe and other global markets.

 

The Nissan-based small car will be built on a new Nissan platform to an already-completed Chrysler design, according to Chrysler co-President Tom LaSorda. He declined to say whether the design would be based on the Dodge Hornet concept car.

Dodge can't build a decent truck either.

Aww well Touché

Dodge can't build a descent small car???? I do not know where you have been but I see NEONS everywhere and some of those puppies have well over 200K on their clocks. BTW before you say Mitsubishi builds it you may want to consider Dodge designed both the engine and chassis and the eclipse bought into the platform.

I like the Titan more than the Tundra.

 

Things to carry things ranking.

1st, GM, Silverado, Sierra

2nd, Ram, Ford

3rd, Titan

4th, El Camino

5th, Ranchero

6th, EZ-GO

7th, Wheel barrel

8th, Bucket

9th, Wal-mart plastic bag

10th, Tundra

 

Id like the Titan even more if the configurations weren't so few.

[MS3DALE]

Thats a pretty good list Andy!

I like your list but what about the ridiculous Honda thing they call a truck. Oh, it's wheelbarrow, BTW.

I actually bought a Titan in 07 (before my 07 Sierra). It had monster power and pulled my boat better than any GM truck ever did. It was comfy and sounded really good too. IF it had also come with a suspension and the ability to get better than 12mpg, I might have kept it longer than 4.5 months.

 

I strayed from GM... but I came right back!
