Wow, they sure as hell put the wrong horse up front.

"Mr. President, may I have the temerity..."

Great idea on Nissan's part, but I've never heard of this program in my life. More automakers should do it. Hello, Porsche?

People didn't really know (or care) about that back then. Airbags were sold as "passive restraints" under the assumption that drivers wouldn't buckle up and therefore needed to be saved from themselves. It didn't come to light until much later that airbags were more dangerous to unbelted drivers than no airbag at…

I'm not a truck customer at all, but Ford as a company just went up a notch or two in my view for making the extra effort to test their new designs in the real world. I wish more automakers had "beta" programs like this one.

That brings up a good point that people are missing in some of the other comments. No, a Honda Odyssey is not a Porsche 911, and yes, in 1984, a BMW 318i took over 10 seconds to get to 60.

Hmm. I've been modding you up because I like your attitude, but to be fair to the critics, it really does sound like you're several levels beyond most of us when it comes to keeping a car like this on the road. "Oh, that's just the conductor plate, I'll swap it out next Saturday" just isn't part of most peoples'…

Nothing made by God, Man, or Honda lasts forev. A $6K repair in a high-end car after 110K miles is pretty meh in the grand scheme of things.

This. Research is a skill, and with Google all things are possible. Given enough time, I can take out a brain tumor, rebuild a Mercedes engine, and design a cell phone, all without having the faintest clue what I'm doing.

Care to estimate how much time you spend playing golf / Warcraft / porn / Jalopnik? No? Well, some people are into playing cars.

Man, this site needs a downvote button.

Oh, that guy. I hear he owns a Ferrari. Any truth to that?

Yes. If you aim a thermal camera at a window, you're likely to see an eerie reflection of yourself, even though the window isn't acting as a mirror in the visible spectrum at all.

Exactly, this kind of "downgrade" is just the counterpart to a pump-and-dump scheme. Look how often it was done with AAPL in the past, before people finally caught on and stopped hitting the sell button after every report from chuckleheads like this.

Honestly, I love a good GM bash as much as the next fellow, but I'm inclined to say it's because people are putting them under more scrutiny than any auto maker has undergone since the Pinto days. I'm not sure many other automakers would fare any better under the same conditions.

That's sort of the idea behind the 960, isn't it?

Seems a tad dramatic

BRB, just going to go find a cash machine.

$62000 for a V6? Not unless it has a prancing horse or some antlers on its escutcheon.
