Scary - should I be concerned?

UMMMM! I think toyota has no choice but to acknowledge there series of defects. Its caused over a dozen fatalities and a heapload of damage over the last couple of months.
Not to mention both my god sister and step sister both owned toyotas. One got hit head on by a speeding van. The other got rear ended. In both accidents the airbags failed. So in my family alone there's 2 lawsuits against toyota. I've owned 4 nissans and never had a major issues and only had to respond to 3 minor recalls.

Quality issues? What are the poor quality issues in your 30-40k vehicle thaat you are so disappointed with.
You have a FMR engine layout. Something usually found in exotics that you find in most nissans.
You have a SRM manual, one of the most advanced manuals in the industry.
You have an excellent 7speed auto. The best non dsg/dct tranny out there.
You have sub 5 second and 13.1 second accel times.
You have 155mph top speed
You have carbon fiber driveshaft and other high tech weight reducing materials keeping this car under 3400 lbs.
You have a forum community that communicates and fights with nissan on a united front when there are major issues.
You have 5/60k warranty to resolve issues.

I'm not saying that the Z or G or other nissan vehicles are perfect. You will have to fight sometimes for your issues to be resolved. But I don't care what car company you go to. Its all the same with one model or another. Besides, where's toyota's sports car? No true sports in over a decade. Mr2's and celicas are cute fun to drive cars, but a true sports car? Uh uh!
