My family used to be big into toyota. We've had 3 4Runners and an FJ Cruiser, all subjected to harsh Mountain Roads 24/7, and none of them ever had a problem. The most any of those cars were ever in the shop for was a new alignment on a car we regularly took off roading.


However, that doesn't excuse this type of buisness. Not to draw a connection, but does anyone see a common theme here with Nissan and Toyota?


Im sure they would have connected the dots already if it was BMW and Merc.... or Ford and GM...

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
