Why is Ford doing more than Nissan?

And Nissan cares why?
They make money and profit with their current strategy. As long as they continue to operate well into the green why should they do anything different?

So they can rebuild their performance image and make even more money.

That would require a direction, I do see them trying with investing in the Nismo brand and attempting some racing leagues. I just hope there is an actual path & goal set, not just throwing money around.

All I'm saying is Nissan needs to stay closer to 30k for bang for your buck type cars

Nissan needs to do a better job on what they have and they will do fine. It's not style they lack but substance.

tell the world to stop f-king with the JPY then so nissan (and rest of japan) can give what they truely want on a fair playing ground.

Why? Yen is not favorable. Better for them to go with high end cars like GTR and other premium vehicles where exchange rates won't matter as much on cars they import.

...and Ford has no sports cars. They have an antique v8 with solid axle muscle car and some FWD econoboxes with boost? That's an accomplishment over Nissan who have state of the art GTR, 4 seater skyline coupe, 370z, successful electric car, etc?

Dude, I'll take a bunch of FWD cars with boost over a bunch of FWD cars with no boost or personality or manual transmission options. Nissan is turning into a strictly utilitarian brand (like I ranted about in my earlier post), and that is hard to swallow when they have created the Z, Silvia, and GT-R among other great vehicles. For us enthusiasts, this approach has us fearing for the future of those very nameplates that brought us to this forum.

And I will go ahead and say that, for the record, in ten years, people will look upon what was deemed the "most successful electric car" as winning in the special olympics. Electric cars are going to flop again. The only place that electric cars have found durable success is the golf course.
