The Nissan Xterra has been on the market
for nearly a decade without significant improvements and a new report is
indicating it faces an uncertain future.
According to Al Ain Japan, Nissan will decide to replace or kill
the Xterra later this year. Unfortunately, the outlook doesn't seem
promising as Nissan Americas' vice president of Product Planning, Pierre
Loing, said "The most difficult part is it is U.S.-only, so even if the
volume in the U.S. is good, you need to make friends around the globe
to get the resources."
Despite the grim outlook, Loing said "There are plans to replace it,
there are always plans, [but] I am not sure it will happen." He added
that the company only sold about 17,200 Xterras in the United States
last year which down from 88,578 Xterras in 2000.
