Boost in sales shows Nisson is finding its niche in U.S. - The Providence Journal
Nissan had bursts of styling mojo over the years, mostly out of the California studios. Think about the buff 1986 Hardbody Pickup, muscular Pathfinder and subcompact Pulsar NX with a re-configurable roof. In 1990, an all-new Maxima, dubbed the "4-Door Sports Car," was born. In the past decade, the Nissan brand has taken hold in the U. S. Market share has increased from 5. 3 percent in 2005 to 7. 1 percent in 2010 and 8. 6 percent as of June 2015, just 0. 2 percent behind Honda (8. 8 percent) and more than double any... Altima is the second-best-selling midsize car in America, behind Toyota's Camry, according to Automotive News. Nissan is banking on a new California-developed design theme, dubbed "V-Motion," to redefine the brand. It was followed by the Sport Sedan Concept, a dead ringer for the 2016 Maxima that began sales June 2. These cars join an odd mix of designs. Juke looks like a ninja beetle, the Versa subcompact embraces European style, the Quest minivan cribs Infiniti, and the $101,000 GT-R supercar just looks angry. Source: www.providencejournal.com
