supposedly the jap big three are honda, toyota and nissan, but locally it seems that nissan is backsliding, probably even behind hyundai and kia in terms of sales. of course there's their somewhat aged lineup now, but it seems to have been the trend already for the past couple of years already. i've personally owned two (exalta & safari) and i can say it ranks up there w/ the other brands in terms of quality and value for money. so what's the deal here?
