Wow, big gains for the Sierra and Colorado. Titan is still scraping the bottom.

Remember the days when the Ranger dominated its segment (in sales)? Geeze, now we're stuck with the Tacoma leading it.

[BigAls87Z28]

The full size and mid size GM pick ups are still #1. Ranger is a has been. Out powerd, out designed, out flanked, and just out done by everything. Poor gas milage, poor quality, and low power. Its the Taurus of the mid size pick ups.

Alright...who was it over in the "1 year Canyon review" thread that said the Colorado and Canyon were doing horrible???

Whats with the Ram...isn't that truck alot fresher then the Silverado/Sierra?

I don't think the Titan is too far off the pace of their manufacturing capacity. I thought they could make 100,000/yr, and they are on a 90,000 pace.

Nissan may have stated that to the press - but i highly doubt they would have spent all that time, money, engineering man hours and a factory to sell 8000 Titans a month when Ford and GM are selling 10X that per month.

It's a flop - but of course no Japanese models are ever reported as "flops" in the press - it's just cool to bash GM and Ford in the press.

Nissan set their goal. They're on track to meet it. It's not a flop.

Maybe Ford and GM sell more trucks than Nissan because -- oh, I don't know -- they have a much greater amount of configurations?? Why do people always seem to forget this when looking at sales numbers?

Right. They were doing well in the first half of the year. But if you read it, the Colorado sold better in August of '04 than in August of this year.

[ricers-shaft-big3]

its rather a surprise to find that the "crap, underpowered, undersized, flimsily built ricer trucks are showing such +ve increases in sales; far greater than the legendary trucks form Ford and Chrysler!

not bad; not bad at all!

[saturnsteve]

Wow the Titan is way down there! HAHAHAHA

Once again, not bothering to read what I've said. Do you do this just to be annoying?

August 05 to August 04 are incomparable because the employee discount threw everything out of wack. YTD is the only way to analyze numbers this year because of the change in peoples buying habits, lack of 05s on lots later in the year...etc.

I don't mean to sound like an arse...but what exacly was Nissans goal for 05?

Yeah, Steve. Don't you know the Titan automatically gets moved to the top of the list because it has fewer configurations? Duh.

[Swahili]

I just looked at the Dodge Ram numbers and I'm a little surprised. I see tons of Rams everywhere so I had this assumption that sales would be right up behind the F-150 and Silverado but I guess that's not the case. I know the Honda Ridgeline is fairly new still but I hope to never see it on the top 10 in future years.
