Just a general question

I have come to the opinion that it doesn't matter where something was made, what matters most is the solidity of the design.

For example, the 350Z I found to be a rattle-can when I rode in a friend's.
The 370Z, I found to have a billet-solid feel.

I doubt the work-ethic in Japan has changed that much. More likely, the 370Z is a stiffer, more mature car.

The 2004 vs. 2005 mustang is another example. The 2004 rattled and felt like laffy-taffy. The 2005 felt a LOT! more solid. I doubt that the factory workers all had a change of heart in a few months.

Design>country of origin.

Obviously, your friend's was either a pre or post 2004 1/2 model......with Nissan doors.
