The only thing we can thank america for is taking an original opel car and cheapening the interior,rims and treatments to the point of disgust.
By the way. Nissan has a huge plant in alabama n the produce quite a few models there. I believe most infiniti's are built here as well. Between nissan honda and toyota they have more plants here than GM does. Pathetic

I believe Nissan makes the Ultima and Maxima there. Probably whatever cars are the same platform as those with Infiniti as well.
Smart business to have the plant here for the better-selling cars. Still, the GTR and Z are MIJ. In a sense, that says they don't trust the US to make the higher-end stuff. =/
Even China is putting out good quality stuff on the cheap.
From a manufacturing perspective, the US is screwed...
Even from the services side of things - short of billy-bob making house calls, the growing trend is to outsource phone-based-services - india, france, phillipines...
