Good point qtiger. Infiniti's reliability is impressing me, they've always been very good. The VQ 3.5 liter V-6 has always been relatively problem free, and it looks like their 4.5 V-8 is as well.
Nissan has fallen down quite a bit. I'm guessing it's due to the 2.5 liter I-4's bad habit of habitually drinking excessive oil, and the crappy interiors falling apart.

The 2.5 liter I-4 wasn't originally destined to be a pickup engine, joel, or at least this is how I came to understand it.
I thought it was essentially a VQ with two cylinders lobbed off, using the same bore x stoke (not sure if the math works on that, but regardless).
In any event, not that great of an engine, and positively crappy compared to Honda's rev-happy fours.
