Nissan has two of the best commercials EVER.

1. Top favorite commercial of all time: Pigeons
2. Independent suspension for the pathfinder ad:

With all due respects for the traditional reliability of its platforms, the earned enthusiast respect from the Supra and other performance brands, and the business portfolio of a generally stable company, I hate Toyota. The brand has monopolized its agenda on the West and imperialized American culture to support its pro-Japanese mission. I have nothing against Japan. I have a problem with the Prius-driving hippies favoring the company that builds its cars in violation of human rights to save the environment. To boot, the EPA granted the Prius a rating far exceeding its best testing. That's right. Americans who bought into Toyota being as American as apple pie managed to elect officials who were equally naive. In effect, they managed to give Toyota free, positive emissions ratings that even the Chevy Volt, a completely electric car, won't statistically meet.

I hate Toyota. The company is a bold lie. They tell Americans that they're products are as American. They tell us that their products are better, but they do this at the cost of ruining lives elsewhere. If any company has ever been called the capitalist beast, it should be Toyota. Japan has come a long way from its imperial roots. It has become a corporate haven for the worst that capitalism exerts on the world. In a post-imperialist era, Toyota has managed to colonize the American dream, adding to that house with a white picket fence the dream of a Lexus at retirement and a Toyota in every garage.

I hate Toyota with all that makes me American. The took the sport out of sports cars built since the Supra and replaced it with cheap interior kits and alternative rims. They took the American dream and cheapened it from one day owning a Corvette or Cadillac to owning a Lexus.

I need to stop talking about Toyota like this on a Camaro site. I'm sure you all agree.

I love it personally. So does the wife. We haven't had a single complaint yet. And I'm not a Pontiac fanboy. I wanted the Malibu cause I'm a huge Chevy guy. Just test drive the car. That's all I gotta say. Test drive both V6 and V8. I did. I loved the V8...but the G8 GTs available in my area were all base models. I wanted leather sunroof etc. So I got the 6. But it's still got enough power to be satisfied.
