Nissan, meanwhile, is just now getting around to introducing Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, especially in its premium Infiniti lineup (2019 sales: down 21.1%), which is finally showing the first signs of modern smartphone integration for the 2020 model year. Disgraced ex-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn commented Wednesday about the automaker's recent slide, pointing out that the management of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance managed to foul prospects for a merger with FCA, which would have created a tier-one international automotive powerhouse and given Nissan access to cost-sharing opportunities in the critical truck and SUV segments in which its aging products aren't keeping pace. This leaves Nissan to effectively go it alone, as it can't count on its Alliance partners to contribute much to the segments Americans want most.
