My point is an alternate truck with that kind of power and accelertion already exists for alot less. But was not even mentioned because Nissan doesn't have a "sport" model of the Titan.

Nissan gets shorted all the time. I clicked a comparison for Tacoma on Edmunds, and they popped up Ranger, Colorado, and Canyon, not Frontier. Do it for other cars, and nissan and infiniti are always left off the list. I think Nissan needs to wake up and start courting the media like magazines, websites, etc. like Honda and Toyota do as many people don't even think to compare because they never show up.

Chevy SS is a sport version, but the lightning and SRT-10 are in a different class. Lightning isn't even in production. Similar trucks to the SS should have been Titan, and Hemi 1500.

I would get a 1 or 2 year old Lightning.

Do the chevy 6.0's still suffer from piston slap? You would think they have the whole V8 thing down by now lol.

The Titan and G35 get praised all the time. In fact, the G35 always wins comparos and has been named the new "benchmark" when compared to the BMW 3 series. The new Frontier doesn't make any lists because it's a monitary joke. Why would anyone pay 30g for it when they can just go to a Titan? This is what Nissan is up against....it's why Frontiers aren't selling. The competition is just plain bigger and better! The Tacoma is a better vehicle for less money, and can be had with something other than the Frontiers tiny bed. Wake up Nissan.

That is true, but the body style is the same as the latest body style of the 1500. Its dated.
