As far as the Leaf having any effect on the Titan in any way, is unlikely.. AS long as there is work & towing to be done, there will always be a demand for pickup trucks. Plus, you can't compare Titan & Leaf, two different class vehicles, and a world of difference between the two classes too.

Americans have always been of the opinion that bigger is better so, as long as its remotely possible to afford a big gas loving vehicle, Americans will drive big cars, trucks, & SUVs..

Kingoftheroad. To a certain extent you are wrong. The continued existence of the Titan will depend on the health of Nissan in general. In part, the major venture of the Leaf into the market will impact Nissan. Just two years ago, Nissan tried to foist the manufacturing of the Titan off to Chrysler so it could concentrate on auto lines. So far, the Titan hasn't even been a pimple on the Pick-up truck sales. Ford F150 is the King of the Heap. Besides my original post made no attempt to compare Leaf and Titan. I did compare how each met MY needs. YMMV!

True Americans have always liked bigger autos; until gas hit over $4 a gallon. If Titan sales drop to a point where it isn't economical to continue making them; Nissan will cut the umbilical cord and Titans will cease to exist. You know it can happen, look at Pontiac for example.

I agree with all of what you said. I'm not sure how Leaf will impact Nissan or todays auto market.

"The continued existence of the Titan will depend on the health of Nissan in general." Thats goes without saying...
