I am thinking of buying G35 Coupe. However, Renault owns some 40% share of Nissan. I don't like the French because the UN issues. I am taking this thing too far?

Attached is the list of French stuff I found..

If you don't buy the car you want because of something this ridiculous then you are a total moron. I got quite the laugh out of this thread, and the only thing that came to mind is "you gotta be fuken kidding me". This is as close as I could get:

While I don't like the French right now either, I would not consider boycotting anything from France. Most idustries are too international right now. You wouldnt be hurting france as much as you'd be hurting your local dealers. All in all, who cares, the war is happening and what needs to be done is being done.
