why shouldn't nissan compete with toyota in that market segment in NA? when one of your biggest competitors makes a move like that, you don't just sit idly by and watch them do it. obviously the sub-compact class is very popular in many parts of the world sans north america. nissan and toyota are big competitors in these markets, world wide. now toyota, among others, are beginning to bring the sub-compact to america - THE largest automobile market there is. maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. but you'd be an idiot if you just wait and watch whlie they become insanely successful and carve out a huge majority stake of the market segment (of the largest automobile market on the planet), and
then make your move.
