Q:
Nissan Motor Co. President Carlos Ghosn makes a point during a press conference in Tokyo on Thursday, Oct. 26, 2006. Nissan, which attracted attention earlier this year with talk of a possible alliance with General Motors, said Thursday that profit rose 31 percent in the July-September quarter, thanks partly to special gains that offset sliding sales. (AP)
Hmmmmm, What does "special gains" mean?

I would not buy another new Nissan OR a new GM product. Both of their quality has slipped to such a degree that they are indistinguisable anyway. I have a 2 year old Nissan with more recalls (oh, excuse me, they now are reffering to them as something like dealer mandated replacement parts) than on any car I have ever owned.
I hope the GM is not as dumb as Chrysler when a foreign company says that it just wants to be in an "alliance". LOL.

Is it just me, or does he look a ton like Mr. Bean in that picture?

I was thinking the same thing. Did you know Mr. Bean drove one of those million dollar McClaren's and totaled it. Would have liked to have seen the expression on his face then.
