If that's not technology, I don't know what is. Yet, it still involve turbo.
Again, you are just trying to pick a fight. You just wasted people time on that post. My reply is an even bigger waste. Hopefulyl some mod will come and lock this down or delete it.

I wasn't trying to pick any fights (which is pointless in a forum). I'm just trying to have a civil debate. But if you view it that way, then I won't reply to you in this thread since every explanation is view as a fight to you.

I think Nissan USA will try and gauge the success of Scion before they bring out very similar cars. Honda hasn't announced any plans to bring the Fit/Jazz over although they might.

Comparing a bunch of cars that aren't sold in this market and nobody here has ever sat in, and then getting into a debate about the overriding philosophies of their manufacturers is a bit excessive, no?
I think you got a good point. I think that's what both Honda and Nissan are doing. Let Toyota test the water.

Nissan is going to be selling the X-Trail in Canada this March as a 2005 model. I saw X-Trails when I went home to Beijing,China last summer.

Doesn't look like its coming to the US.

The X-Trail is pretty cool. Why is Canada getting it? That's a little weird. It would probably be a competent RAV4/CRV fighter here in the States.

It's because we canadians generally like and buy smaller cars/trucks than you guys in the states. Our gas is slightly more expensive than yours or at least we are all pretty much too cheap to want to pay the current prices. We like our civics over accords and prefer cute utes to big jumbo tanks like the pathfinder armada. And we also like compacts and minivans over trucks and midsizers. Oh, we're also more receptive to hatchbacks and wagons.
