Why is Ford doing more than Nissan?

Lets keep it real. Ford has HAD to step up on quality tremendously. Something most japanese automakers haven't had to work much on for nearly a decade. As good as american car quality has grown. Japanese cars still have a slight edge in overall quality. Up until 2008, most american cars had been complete POS's for over 2 decades. The american market performed what I call nothing short of a miracle with their Shytboxmobiles...

The american market has always known one thing the Japanese have to learn a little better... Halo cars sell all cars in the short term. If you have a flagship and halo sports car that's top notch? You will sell cars regardless. You're on the cover of C&D, motorweek, automobile, Road &Track on the reg. You will push the biggest POS out of your lot. Guys will buy in hopes of one day trading for that hot vette, stang etc.

What America has learned from Asia. Halo cars can only go so far in overall car sales in the long term. Eventually. People realize sports cars aren't as practical as they need and start demanding quality. That's where Honda, Nissan etc have been winning these two decades. America is on it's 5th model year of great featured high quality cars. But it wasn't done on purely american merit. It was done by the aid of Asian and German market. You can thank Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi for most of the american breakthrough's in it compact car market success. Opel, Renault, Fiat, Alfa etc have also fueled compact and midsize success... There's been a sharing of tech and it's made the Global car market more competitive. Nissan is the one of the least globalized companies right now

Ford is doing great things. Nissan is not doing as well right now. But there's a lot of political shyt going on in the market playing into that. Nissan is attempting to go delve deeper in the global market. We will have to wait till 2015 to see exactly how nissan is doing... They most of the time pull a fast one on the general public. Just when you think they are beginning to suck??? Bam!!!!

That said. What i been seeing from nissan so far scares me. lol Let's see.
