I buy them and they are decent cars. I am not sure why you call them garbage. Not every car is is a luxury car. And at least the Nissan does not give me any trouble at all.

I buy them. They're more reliable than any German car. Do some research on VQ engine's reliability.

The VQ engine as awarded by WARDS best engine for so many years, that you call rough and antiquated is a very solid engine that gave me no issues for 15 straight years. All I had to do is change oil.
What is your next complaint?

I've had two Nissans in my life for a total of 10 years, and had nothing but FLAWLESS ownership experience. My Pathfinder is still one of the most satisfying cars I've ever owned and am still unforgiving of Nissan from moving to a crossover. Four consecutive years of trouble-free ownership. My 350Z Roadster is another one of my all-time faves that I've owned. Outside of a sometimes-stubborn convertible top (that was fixed under service notification), I had six years of trouble-free ownership.
