GUINEA.

And, I think, size wise, Nissan's still a pretty big company. Just saleswise, it's not.

And I do think Toyota looks at Honda enviously. While Toyota has pretty much a full lineup, Honda is still poised for expansion into high growth markets. And in the US, markets where Honda and Toyota fight head on, Honda is usually an equal, the market leader or limited by manufacturing.

It'd be stupid for Toyota not to take the Honda threat seriously. Nissan is still in recovery mode, and despite what Nissan fanatics would like to think, Nissan is still on a second tier to Honda and Toyota. The sales, the owner surveys, and public opinion all indicate that Nissan isn't on the same level as it's other two Japanese competitors.
