POOR ANALOGY!!!

    I find a better analogy to be someone watching professional mountain
climbers risking their lives climbing mount EVEREST  and then that person
(NISSAN) running out and taking a helicopter to the top. Sure the
end result is the same but the path differs. I take this kind of stuff
into serious consideration when making any purchase. It helps keep the 
people who are truly commited to the art in business. And it helps
send a message to the posers to take a hike. I would also hardly consider
NISSAN the "poor weak" grandpa. The are filthy rich from dumping their 
death traps on our shores. As for new kid on the block...I think you
hit the nail on the head!! NISSAn ,toyota,mazda,subaru,isuzu, mitsubishi
and HOnda are all glitz and glamour. NO substance whatsoever. Lexus brags
about how they use gold plated contacts on their airbags. WHO DOESN'T???
