Carlos Ghosn was intimately involved in the demise of the Titan.

He believes that Nissan's future is in vehicles that use less gas. There was a fairly good article in Business Week a few weeks ago.

He's been a very prudent business man...and has shown the ability to make good cars and make a profit...something many auto makers are struggling to do.

I think it is unfortunate that Nissan chose to cut corners in the titan. I can only dream of how are truck would have done if Nissan hadn't skimped on brakes and differentials...and had tighter QC on the 2004.

Because of brakes, diffs, and poor quality control...consumer reports burned the titan...bad. And many, many, people use CR to determine what cars they will and will not look at. Getting on the CR do not buy list...does not bode well.

I'm sorry to see the titan will have a short life, but it makes sense. The full size truck market is shrinking, Nissan got slammed on quality, and Toyota entered the market with a Truck that beats nissan at it's own game (biggest baddest 1/4 ton).
