What happened in the engine that resulted in build up in the cat?
It's a Nissan - 'nough said. Between Nissan and Mitsu for the worst
new cars available in Canada / USA. Possibly throw the recent crop of
Luxury (and other) German cars into the mix as well - - -

The proverbial race to the bottom.

I can understand it for the cheap ****boxes but for luxury vehicles? They used
to throw their best people at them to boost the name. The tech and features
would would itself down to the less models. I hypothesize that management is
brought in from outside that has no familiarity with auto design and
manufacturing. The short term shareholder dividend is king and longterm
thinking fell out the trunk.

My thinking has always been: they would rather spend 2 bux to put a flashy
emblem on the dash than to spend 25 cents in putting a proper seal that lasts.

Clare, what are your thoughts?
