      They were on their way.

      You don’t go less and less and less and less displacement forever and not expect some hiccups. Their new engines have been less engine, more pressure-cooker.

      Ain’t like the old K and J engine bro-team that took the 2000’s and 2010’s.

      I dunno. There are some very enthusiastic Honda fanboys that will be watching like a hawk.

      This could just be Nissan reading the writing on the wall and choosing to do something about it before it’s too late.

      Honda still needs to rely on more than “nationalism” to sell their cars, unlike American brands.

      Drop a honda NA 4 cylinder drivetrain into a nissan vehicle and sell it for a lower price than a Honda and I’d be cool with it. Nissans only really issue is their engines and trannys they use.

        A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

        This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.
