Marketing and advertisers all companies are cross promoting today. They can bend anything to make it look like something else. They try to trend/heard the masses into believing one thing or another. Reminds me of the movie Wall-e where they say try blue it's the new red.
consumer reports buy all the products they review. they do not have any advertisements.

But here's the deal, to buy a Nissan I have to go to a Nissan dealership, and so it is a big part of it. Look, I love the Z, I own two currently and plan to keep both as both are paid off, but I won't be back for another. One too many bad experiences/car issues/etc.

You find out that they were wrong, And it's not as bad they would lead you to believe.

Take it with a grain a salt and go test one out for yourself and make a decision based on your experience.
