That's been coming a good while now.Nissan isn't happy that their brand has been cheapened by cost-cutting. Especially in the US where gearbox failures are commonplace. There was a time when they were close to Toyota for reliability.

Think it might've been the other way around C5. French cars were not selling in the US, Canada etc after Bush (Dubya) declared war on everything French when they failed to back his illegal invasion of Iraq. French Fries became Home Fries etc. Nissan were well up with Toyota when they were Datsun- The Bluebird, Cherry and Stanza being massive successes for them. Renault had a tough time out as a consequence of Yank sentiment........Nissan bailed them out to a certain degree.

Corbyn wanted a 1% tax imposed on all financial transactions (non-cash) to compensate for lost HMRC revenue on fuel purchases....mystery how he didn't sweep the boards?

Rich men taking the piss with poor men........always the same Octy.......the poor aul tykes the Brits used to assemble the Bentley before the unions copped it. Dickens knew the working man was being arse-fisted by the rich man all along.
