Nissan, once a titan in the automotive world, now faces a dire situation with a potential year left to live. The company's lineup, from the Ultima to the Rogue, reflects a bygone era of performance and quality that seems distant in today's landscape. Financial woes, including a staggering 99% profit loss and declining sales, paint a grim picture for the Japanese automaker. The shadow of Carlos Ghosn's financial misconduct looms large over Nissan, impacting its profitability and reputation.

Renault's intervention in 1999 saved Nissan from bankruptcy, but Ghosn's subsequent arrest for financial wrongdoing sent shockwaves through the alliance. The fallout led to a significant drop in share prices and sales, pushing Nissan to the brink of collapse. Recent talks of a potential merger with Honda offer a glimmer of hope for Nissan's survival, potentially making them the world's third-largest automaker. However, challenges with dealer networks, production cuts, and lackluster sales incentives continue to plague the company.

Despite efforts to turn the tide, Nissan's struggles persist, with layoffs, reduced production, and discontent among dealers adding to the turmoil. The company's hefty advertising spend, including celebrity endorsements like the ill-fated Brie Larson commercial, reflects a desperate attempt to boost sales in a competitive market. As Nissan navigates these treacherous waters, the outcome of the merger talks with Honda and Mitsubishi remains uncertain, holding the key to the company's future in an ever-evolving automotive landscape.
