Nissan Motor Co.'s finance unit raised $600 million selling asset-backed securities in the first sign of demand for auto loans since U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled a plan last month to support consumer debt. Nissan boosted the size of the sale from $500 million. A top-rated portion of the Nissan issue will mature in July 2012 and is priced to yield 400 basis points more than benchmark interest rates, a person familiar with the sale, who declined to be identified because terms aren't public, said Tuesday. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. The sale by Tokyo-based Nissan may indicate that Paulson's plan to unlock a freeze in consumer-related credit markets is working. http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081203/AUTO01/812030333 |

For you guys that have been following the Cube's upcoming release in the US - are its underpinings similar to the Versa insofar as engine, transmission, etc.? The Versa hasn't exactly hit it out of the park when it comes to reliability and quality control (Edmunds, Consumer Rpts, JDPower)! I'm really jazzed on a Cube as my next car but NOT if it is a mirror image of the Versa. I'll look to a Fit or new Insight, perhaps. The Cube that we get will be fitted with a CVT, right? Different engine or same? Cube is made in Japan - is the Versa assembled in NA? Is there a JDM version of the Versa that is different? Are there Renault parts on the NA Versa? Thanks. (Sorry about dbl posting in another discussion by mistake) |

Replying to: johnxyz (Feb 20, 2009 11:01 am) FWIW it does seem to be true that quality control on American and Mexican made vehicles is equal to or better than on Japanese made vehicles (by "made" I mean country of manufacture, not nationality of manufacturer). I expected better quality on my Japanese-made Yaris and Honda Fit than on my Civic made in America, but the quality was actually lower. I guess the Japanese domestic market hit a plateau while the plants in America and Mexico kept pushing for more quality. BTW the low marks for reliability seem to pertain only to the Versa Sedan. My Versa hatchback was perfect.

The local dealer will perform the TSB on the fuel pump regulator when the part comes in at the end of the week. No hassle from the service writer...my kid's very happy! Taking it on a weekend family trip up to Vero Beach on friday so it'll be nice to see how she handles on I-95. Guess I'll get to check out the rear seats also. The Sandman

Replying to: micweb (Feb 25, 2009 2:29 pm) What's your spin as to the poor reliability of the Versa Sedan? Do you think this bad showing relates to ALL versions of the sedan? Hope to hear from you... Thanx- Peace!<-AladdinSane-<-  -

I'm strongly considering this car, and wondering how it is for highway cruising. I gather noise and road bumps are muted...they were on my local road test drive. but I'm wondering: how's the seat after a few hours? driving position for legs/knees/etc? anything else of note? thanks very much for any and all insights!
