No nissan does not know more about making 6 cylinders. In fact nissan doesn't know anything about anything. Nissan is a company, it does not have a mind and is in no way more intelligent or better than any other company(no matter what country it's from).

As for the engineers Nissan employs to develope engines, yes they know a whole lot about designing and building engines. But ya know what, the engineers Ford employs know just as much, as do Mazda's, GM's, Porche's, Ferrari's and Maclaren's.

All this crap about one car company being smarter and creating better technology is exactly that, crap. Everything to do with a car is governed by the laws of science. Physics is physics, no matter what country your in(or rather what country the company that pays your salary origonated from).

The sharing of technology is an age old practice governed by the same thing that governs everything. Economics. If it's cheaper for both companies to use a nissan design, designed by a french engineer, and have it built in America, then thats exactly what they'll do.*

*Note, there is no real truth in this example(at least as far as I know), I'm just using a fictional situation to illustrate my point.

Well I'm done. Stupid weather, can't see a damn thing out side the window(mainly cause it's coated in an inch or two of snow).
