Really, at the Smyrna, Tenn plant? The one where the quality on the Nissan Armanda "Infiniti QX56" was so bad they moved the construction of it to Japan. Good move Nissan (sarcasm).

Uh, the Armada was built in Canton Mississippi, not Smyrna. Smryrna has consistently made well-build vehicles. The Canton plant will now only make Nissan's trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as add some capacity for the next Altima.

I think Japan had some earthquakes, So I think their being smart. More training and more QC can solve the problems they had before. More jobs for Americans. Yeah!
