I just have one thing to say about all of this. I LOVE NISSANS!!!!!!!!!! lol. I gotta tell ya, I have worked for independent garages before and have serviced just about every brand of automobile made, but I have always been a GM guy mainly. For the past few years I have worked at only GM dealerships and narrowed my fields over and over up until now. Now all that I do (at work anyways) is specailize in electronics and trim on cadillacs. I could probably tell you anything about pretty much any GM car but outside of that I just have general experience. I havent worked on many cars as easy to service as my 240 (nor were they as shall we say "neglectable"). I have owned this car for about 1 1/2 years and during this time period I have put 50,000 miles on the car ( I have an 82 mile round trip to work everyday) and I have never had to do anything major to the car save for a transmission replacement due to my own botched rebuild attempt. The car currently has 142k miles on it now. I am in the middle of changing my timing chain (which I believe to be original, even the guides). I have to say that I could honestly do this blindfolded and I have never had one of these apart before. This has to be the easiest timing chain I have ever replaced. I have also never had a car so dependable and didnt require much maintenance. Up until now it has even had the original belts on it ( they look terrible but never squealed any). I will admit that the car was very well taken care of. When I bought it at the end of 2002 it was a lady driven one owner with ninety something thousand miles on it. So in summary if all nissans are this dependable and easy to service I think that I am working for the wrong car company. I like cadillacs a lot and they are very nice cars, but they couldnt hold a candle to the reliability of my daily driver.

I agree 100%. I got a 96 AWD Blazer and a 92 240SX which I love both of them. 219,000 on the 240 and 68K on the Blazer. Cant wait to drop in a 350 in the blazer and redo the engine on the 240. :)

In recent years Nissan/infinity really stepped it up a notch 350Z, G35 new Sentra SE-R, new Q45, the new Altima, 2004 maxima, Titan, new Quest the list just goes on and on.

I'm quite the loyalist to Nissan. But my first love was Toyota, but why even bother mentioning them when all the cars they release now-a-days lack appeal, power, and anything else worth noting.

I want a happy medium, such as: my 240 being towed to a autocross by a Tacoma. :D

I would love to have a 5 speed Tacoma if I could afford the insurance on 2 cars.
