Nissan just isn't a "supercar" brand here in the states. It wouldn't sell well and Nissan would be out all of the cash they diverted to production for America and import to America where they would be better served by selling first and foremost to their very loyal Japanese customers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144518084015916632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658680187485302476.post-42672263845955892922009-04-28T13:40:00.000-07:002009-04-28T13:40:00.000-07:00I agree...America is not ready.I agree...America is not ready.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658680187485302476.post-79962734531535831732009-02-15T18:51:00.000-08:002009-02-15T18:51:00.000-08:00It doesnt have to do with the Japanese not liking ...It doesnt have to do with the Japanese not liking us but the fact that, in America, there is a stigma with brand names and price. People who have $175,000 wont want to spend "that kind of money on a Nissan." The same way people are hesitant to spend $40,000 on a Hyundai Genesis Sedan because its a "Hyundai." The domestic market in Japan knows the weight of the GT-R name and will shell out the cash just like an American will do the same for a Viper, even though it says Dodge and not Chrysler.<BR/>It doesnt make sense financially for them to bring the car over and have no one buy it. It just makes smart business sense for a company who had to cut 20,000 workers.Mike Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868171103865658675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658680187485302476.post-75405828719261345492009-02-04T07:46:00.000-08:002009-02-04T07:46:00.000-08:00It bothers me too.

Its just the attitude of some Japanese. <BR/><BR/>They think the car is too sophisticated for the US market, in some ways it might be. <BR/><BR/>I think at first the car was planned for the US, but the whole thing with the transmissions left a bad taste in their mouth.Sean Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764446879030639598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658680187485302476.post-51890992141285631632009-02-04T01:36:00.000-08:002009-02-04T01:36:00.000-08:00His statement really bothers me, I wonder why amer...His statement really bothers me, I wonder why america is not yet ready?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
