What are you talking about ? I didn't say Japan><America or anything in that context ,And i'am not a Aussie. I also don't understand your reasoning on why this thread needs to be closed, We are just having a discussion.

This is very true as well.(I'am not entirely sure about the 5.0's being slower then the 2.3t's though.) Another thing to consider is americans are more traditionalists , where as japan would rather keep re-engineering , americans would rather keep the same platform and keep developing it. Please keep this from turning into a american vs japanese car thread. I was just using history to ask a question of which direction people think nissan is heading is all.
