Yip Nissans are so shit hot that Renult was able to buy them out.
They make some nice cars, but like most of the other Japanese manufactors they lack orginality in thier designs, and have been useing old forms of suspension and engine design for a long time, all in the hope of cutting prodiction costs.
Unforunatly they still failed to make money on enough models to be saved, and it was only some Vague potential that renult saw in the company that saved them from complete ruin.
