We all know we're getting a good deal on such a high performance car. All we want is some sort of a transparency from Nissan revealing the vehicle's tendency to overheat rather than completely bandaiding the problem where we find out anyways.

I just don't see it that way, at least not based on what I know now.
If the engine oil temp is a problem primarily or only for those tracking their car (or who drive the same way even when not on the track) then I don't see it as a problem although I do think Nissan needs to get some Nismo products out there for those who do want to track their car.
If there is a problem with people on the street under normal use/weather conditions then that's quite another story. However, based on what I've read and experienced and discussed with people, I am doubtful that this is going to be an issue for people away from the track.
I'm really not sure what you feel Nissan has done to bandaid the problem? I think it more a matter that Nissan doesn't think this is a poblem, at least not for other than those putting their cars on the track.
I guess we'll just have to see what happens....it gets pretty hot here in the summer time so if it's going to be a probem on the street I'm sure I'll experience it.
