All have V6's (what in the **** is wrong with you Nissan? wheres the I4's and I6's?) and hatchback style body. GT-R going for around 70-80K? That was Australian correct? BAH I have no more respect for Nissan...

so you would rather not have Nissan be sold here at all? because that's what would have happened if they didn't start doing some platform sharing. not only does platform sharing make the cars profitable for Nissan, it makes them cheap for us to buy. I sure as hell don't remember any 240hp cars for under 30k in nissan's lineup back in the 90's. each car having its own chassis was a main contributor to the discontinuation of the Z32 and S chassis here in the US. why do you want an I6 over a V6 so bad? the VQ is a pretty good engine. i have quite a bit of respect for nissan for being able to go from a company on the verge of bankruptcy to one that's making huge profit 3 years ahead of schedule. ya know what drives profit in the auto industry? good product........
