I don’t think it’s a wise economic climate to buy ANY car right now, but if it’s unavoidable, I think people can give the domestic makers a chance, yeah. I mean, they should scope all their options, but the quality of American products is up a bit from the past, because they REALLY REALLY need to have it up.

GM and Ford are both increasing their quality by using their resources in Europe, Australia, etc. Chrysler seems to be lagging behind the two of them a bit, so if I were to buy a new American car, my first choice would be Ford, and then GM. I don’t think Chrylser would get tremendous consideration. But then again, I think it would be wiser of most people to buy used in this day and age.

If someone chooses a car because they prefer it, then that’s a distinctly American thing to do, in my opinion. But at the same time, I’m not going to tell someone NOT to buy an American car, and I guess I’d respect them for doing it.

Even though they’re canceling the project, but their design are still far superior to Honda/Acura, if Nissan/Infiniti ever launch this GT-R sedan, I’m sure long time Acura TL or RL customer would strongly consider one, cuz, it looks way more aggressive and everything it’s up-to-date.

Because you’re saying what he says, but somehow you sound a little more educated and well spoken about it. I don’t really agree, but NMOFGM is really just internet flame bait, more so than you are. I think it’s because you use the term “Buy American”, rather than “Buy GM. Buy American.” Keep it up, let him be a self embarassing advertisement.

I can’t buy an American car, because I don’t have enough money. I would hope it’s not my duty to live outside my means, and just because I own a Toyota now doesn’t mean I’m unamerican. I mean, not everyone can just buy a brand new car to support the country.

Do the right thing.

Buy American. It’s not just a matter of jobs, it’s a matter of national security as well.

Do the right thing.

Now what is a terrible decision in my eyes is the cancellation of the new 240SX project. Given that they were trying to make a fairly gas-economical performance turbo engine in a $25k sports coupe that seats not two but four, I think it is one of the worst decisions they could have made!

Nissan does not sell any practical entry level sportscar for those of us with shallow wallets. The 370Z only seats two and has almost no trunk space, The GT-R seats four and has trunk space but costs $80k+

The Altima coupe is not a 240SX alternative, so I see a huge gap in their lineup for a much more viable market of people who want a small rear wheel drive car they can actually live with day to day.

So screw the GT-R sedan. Where’s the new 240SX? Nissan/Infiniti has had it backwards since February!

Sadly, your sarcasm speaks the truth brother.

Consider the GT-R is now $80k after its recent price hikes, Infiniti would likely price this car even higher. A $90k car that is weaker and slower than the $60k M3 and CTS-V, and can’t match the M5 at the same price, is a very tough sell. Gotta have AWD? Well, it’s hard to argue picking this over say an Audi RS6.
