take your non luxury ass leather seat nissans out of hurr... we dont need none of that shit.

Get a real luxury car, like a 3 series BMW or an E-class benz. Come in airtight containers, drive it out perfectly detailed. Matter of fact they dont even need to be detailed, theyre just that good.

fuckin ricers, ricer-luxury wtbes

who cares if its built in japan or america?
its still going to be the same car unless they decide to change the engine

making it in one country wont change how the car actually is, just the price

I actually do. I want my luxury German cars made in Germany and my luxury Japanese cars made in Japan.

The Canton plant is one of the worst quality plants around and that they are building a luxury SUV has killed the Q56...This was a huge chance for Infiniti to grab large SUV market share and they blew it.
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/nissan-moving-production-of-quest-and-qx56-back-to-japan/

Unfortunately, slow sales of the Quest (down 28 percent so far this year) and QX56 have proven that production here in the U.S. is becoming too costly to justify and, according to the article, the plants in Japan have the ability retool and manufacture at a quicker rate.

Nissan Vows Canton Issues Remedied
By Christie Schweinsberg
WardsAuto.com, Apr 7, 2006 10:22 AM

The auto maker, which took a bruising two years ago for the quality of the vehicles from its newest plant, says it is working hard to fix its reputation.

Experts cite Mississippi plant as problem with Nissan reliability

Four of the plant's five vehicles land on Consumer Reports' unreliable list

JACKSON, Miss. -- Nissan Motor Co. officials are on the defensive after four of five vehicles produced at a key plant in the automaker's expansion plans topped the annual Consumer Reports list of unreliable vehicles.

Nissan officials acknowledge there were some initial problems with the vehicles produced at its sprawling Canton plant, which opened in 2003, but they point to other surveys showing the reliability of vehicles made there is improving.

Among the Canton-made vehicles that landed in the unreliable category of Consumer Reports' study -- which was based on surveys of 1 million consumers -- were Nissan's Armada sport utility vehicle, Quest minivan and Titan pickup, and the Infiniti QX56 SUV.

The Altima sedan -- also built at Nissan's old Smyrna, Tenn., plant -- was the only Canton-made vehicle that was not near the bottom of the list.

"It's difficult to actually put a reason on why they are so unreliable," said David Champion, director of automobile testing for Consumer Reports, a publication of the nonprofit Consumers Union. "But it is a little bit worrying when the worst plant in the U.S. is actually a Nissan import plant."

Champion said it is the first time in his eight years on the job that a single Japanese auto plant had such a poor showing.

Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's CEO, told The Clarion-Ledger newspaper during a recent tour of the plant that Nissan officials "were disappointed when the first quality numbers came out."

But he added "we've taken the challenge to bring up our numbers."

The Consumer Reports study does not reflect the improvements made since the 4,200-employee plant opened, said Nissan spokeswoman Vicki Smith. She noted another study released last May from Strategic Vision that showed Nissan to be the best full-line corporation in their quality index.

A spokesman for Strategic Vision, a San Diego-based automotive research and consulting firm hired by Nissan, said most of the 90,000 owners they interviewed were happy with their vehicles.

"They are having above average problems from their Canton plant, but it's a relative thing," said spokesman Daniel Gorrell. "A few bad apples don't ruin the bunch."

Consumer Reports found that the Titan pickup and the Armada SUV had an array of problems -- from faulty fuel systems to defective electric windows -- but those same vehicles came out on top of Strategic Vision's quality report.

The Titan also won "most satisfying" overall vehicle in September in the AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards which interviewed about 35,000 Nissan owners. The Armada was the Tustin, Calif.-based automotive consultant's best SUV and the Quest tied for the top spot in the minivan category.

"They've paid a lot of attention to what the customer wants and they've come close to giving it to them," said AutoPacific President George Peterson. "There's just always a learning curve at a new plant with new products."

Chance Parker, an executive director with J.D. Power and Associates, which also rates vehicle dependability, said the automobiles produced in Canton had only about half as many problems this year as the previous year.

Models like the Quest minivan was J.D. Power's most improved vehicle in 2005, but Parker said it is still below average in reliability.

In 2004, J.D. Power found that the owners of some vehicles produced at the plant complained of rattles, leaks, vibrations and paint problems. Nissan brought in a team of engineers from Japan to address those problems but some consumers still have complaints.

So what was wrong with the Canton cars?

Parker said there is "no smoking gun. The cars had problems in a number of areas."

"They were dealing with an all new plant, all new workers and all new vehicle designs. In the best case, an all-new vehicle design is a challenge," Parker said. "So when you add all those things together, Nissan faced kind of a perfect storm as far as quality is concerned."

Parker expects the reliability of automobiles produced in Canton to continue to improve. But Consumer Reports' Champion is not so optimistic.

To put the problems in perspective, Champion said the most reliable car Consumer Reports found was the Toyota Prius, and only 4 percent of that car's owners reported problems with the vehicle.

"If you look at the worst reliable vehicle, which was the Infiniti QX56, 40 percent of those owners reported having problems with their vehicles," he said.

Among large SUVs, Infiniti's QX56 is likely to have about eight times as many problems as the most reliable model, the Toyota Land Cruiser, Champion said.

"It seems to be the major issues are the interior trim, doors, locks, linkages, seats and also power equipment and electrical items," Champion said. "It looks like it's more of a design issue with the braking system on the Armada and the Titan."

And, Champion said, Nissan's recently unveiled plans to move its headquarters and nearly 1,300 jobs from the Los Angeles area to suburban Nashville could mean more problems.

"If you take that into account, you're asking people to put in lots of extra hours and lots of extra work and you're telling them they've got to move out of beautiful southern California and to another facility," Champion said. "The morale of the work force is hurt quite considerably."

Nissan officials disagree.

"That's interesting to make that connection because if you think about what's in Los Angeles now are headquarters functions, sales and marketing, product planning," Smith said. "Those aren't the people who make the cars, so I don't think those two things are necessarily related."

Mike...
I am not a badgewhore though I love Lexus and Porsche in particular. Lexus actually has a plant in Canada for RX 350s. Lexus however will only build the RX 400h and panorama roof RX 350s in Japan. though Lexus has done the best job with quality in a North American plant (Suburu/Honda/Toyota also does well here) we have many people who insist on a Japanese made RX.

Is about posting facts and respecting opinions..:)

The RX ranks right up there with the 56 as far as it being garbage. I compared TSBs and Campaigns with one of my friends that works parts at Lexus and they both have novels haha!

Yes this is becoming a huge issue, as many bought these cars not to drive but as an "investment' and well, who is going to want to buy a car that might snap in 2? It has pissed off A LOT of people.

I would be furious too! I mean, it's not like these people bought a $10k Civic. Even if they did retool and build more frames, who are they going to pay to swap them, and where would it be done? I don't think one could just go into their neighborhood BMW dealership with it and say "my frame is warped, I need it swapped out." :lmfao:

All the main TSBs on the QX56s have been brake related......doesn't make me feel all that great to step on the pedal. :lmfao:

So what your saying is that I shouldn't listen to Lexus? Because I saw the TSBs and campaigns on them with my own eyes. The RX has more problems than any other Lexus made, and that's fact. The binder for the RX is over twice the size of all the other models.

You need to stop getting so defensive. What people voted on with that car doesn't reflect the long term of the car. Do you sell parts at a Lexus dealership? Do you even work at a dealership? Are you just basing this on what you read on the internet? I think you are.
