Down at the JNC ranch, one of our favorite dead horses to beat has been the fact that Toyota, the richest and largest car company in the world, did nothing to celebrate their 50 years of business in America except affix a small badge to a Camry Hybrid sedan. Nothing to honor the legions of fans who have painstakingly restored Corollas, Celicas, Crowns, Coronas and Supras. How sad!
Recently, this mysterious logo has appeared on the Nissan USA website. 50th Anniversary already? Well, although Nissan Motor Corporation, USA wasn’t an officially established US company until 1960, exports began as early as 1958 with the Datsun 1200. Right now, the only thing they appear to be celebrating is the desire to move a few leftover Muranos, but hey, the year is still young. Let’s hope Nissan can throw a better party than Toyota.
