Nissan’s roots go back to early Japanese industrial conglomerates; the modern company took shape in the 1930s. It built a U.S. following with affordable cars and later the 350Z/370Z and GT-R. Today its U.S. lineup centers on Rogue, Altima, and trucks, while heritage sports cars remain important for enthusiasts shopping used.
