maybed now we can get some straight answers, and get product releases that make sense.

Nissan fired alot of guys last spring when the U.S sales were slumping big time. Whoever is in charge now should continue Nissan North America's hot streak. If they don't perform, then get rid of them!!!!

Unfortunately this press release is a bit misleading. Jerry Benefield is president of Nissan Motors Manufacturing Corp. not Nissan USA/North America. NMMC is the arm of Nissan that manufactures the Altima, Frontier, and Xterra. It will be rolled into Nissan North America on April 1st.

They should clone Mr. Katayama and put him in charge of Nissan USA!

That sounds like a better alternative than keep firing those guys at Nissan NA after two or three years of underacheiving http://forums.freshalloy.com/forum//images/icons/grin.gif
