Why? Nissan Boss Wants To Talk About Everything BUT The Upcoming Z or GT-R

Top Gear wants to talk about the new Nissan GT-R and Z. The boss of Nissan wants to talk about his new Ariya electric crossover. OK, Uchida-san, you go first.

It’s not easy being Makoto Uchida. He took over as president and CEO at the turn of 2020, as the company plunged towards a colossal loss of £5bn for the year. He soon announced an intention to close factories to try to save some dough.

To bring money in, he plans to concentrate on what he believes Nissan is good at. That means crossovers, electric cars, advanced driver assistance, and sports cars.

The man needs volume to personally survive. Z car and GTR are last on his survival list of things to do and get to market fast.

Nissan only has two vehicles that anyone cares about and both are destined to remain poor-selling niche vehicles.
