2004 Supra

My next car I think....
Just cuz I can't bring myself to buy a Nissan 350Z, with worse reliability than GM... Honda or Toyota only. Plus my buddy got a 350z. Can't really copy him

Rumours

Chances are people are going to have a supra
So you might as well throw copying out the window
and BTW please state some SOURCES that say NISSAN HAS worse RELIABILITY then Gm and Please state some sources on saying GM has bad reliability

when it comes to sport cars, i don't find the term "copying" an issue at all. i'd have any of the two supras or the Zs

most new nissans are made in the US now btw, altima and frontier/exterra i believe, maxima is soon to be made in the US also, starting next year.

out of curiousity, from your statement, can i imply that you mean GM cars suck since they are made in the US, and Nissan is ( or used to be ) made in Japan, so they are better? just wondering what you mean.

True, and they've ALL had recalls....... it's a fact that current Honda cars have not lived up to their own cars of the past, in terms of reliability.

Nissan's image is that it's actually not as reliable as Honda or Toyota, and in most cases, this is true. One area they truly lack in at the moment, is their poor fit & finish, along with poor interior materials. But that would go along the lines of quality, not reliabilty.

how the hell can you determine "reliability" on a car that hasnt been out for 6 months? The NTSB, Consumer reports, or any other valid source has yet to do that them selves! Way to go there Miss Cleo.

I can't really find the source, but it was on TV when it first happened (the reliability stuff that is). The fact is that Nissan was having financial problems and that reflectes on their quality. I do like the new Z though.

I think you can expect the Supra when it does come out to end up being more expensive. Toyota has a way of doing that sometimes.

Name one car that has not been recalled. Truth is, you can't. Give it up on the quality issues.
