We could be objective and use sales numbers... but then the fanboys would argue about whether the sales and production numbers weighted against investment would constitute "accomplishment." The point is no longer moot when you claim objective numbers are subjective. So whats the point?

The point is that Ford makes Billions of dollars more than Nissan, and so they can do things Nissan only wishes they could. I don't care how you cook the numbers of production, margin, etc. End of the year profits are what they are.

Shamu is correct. Nissan is the only company that has wins and has videos of its cars passing others.

That may be fast but what about aesthetics?

That isn't because they don't make good cars, it's because as of right now they are behind the competition.
