Oh, what a sad song Nissan has been singing.
This is a company that overthrew its CEO, Carlos Ghosn, and sent him to jail before he escaped to Lebanon. Then the board untangled his alliance with French automaker Renault, a marriage of convenience at best. Then along came COVID and its attendant parts shortages.
The result delayed much-needed fresh product, such as the 2023 Nissan Ariya, the long-needed follow-up to the aging Nissan Leaf electric vehicle. Nissan was early to the segment, but forfeited its lead.
