Is this article serious? The activity of thieves is somehow the
responsibility of the car maker?
BMW, Mercedes and Honda emblems are popular with thieves. Where's the
special security device and warning to buyers about this phenomenon?
Escalades and Navigators are popular with thieves. Should they come with a
buyer warning tag (beyond the obvious don't drive urban assault vehicle
warning) and a big bicycle chain to lock them down when parked?

You know a lawsuit like this could only originate from a liberal judge. Any
good conservative judge would have thrown this out and saved the taxpayers
money for frivelous litigation.

These headlights are so pathetically easy to steal that a 5 year old could
do it . . . the hood latch is so close to the sparse grille that a
screwdriver can pop it and open the hood. . .then the lights are fastened
with two measly screws. . . .Nissan knew darn well how expensive these are
and with design centers in the US they know just how prevalent auto theft
and vandalism is . . .they know about air bags being stolen for profit
because they're expensive too . . they should take steps to make these
items more difficult to remove . .. .in the '80s with cheap ignitions
Japanese cars became easy to steal . . back then Japanese mfrs didn't know
about crime in the US . . .that was fifteen years ago and it's time for
the mfrs to get with it. . . .if nothing else lawsuits like this can
impact them with a poorer reputation and declining sales of certain
models. . .if the passenger compartments were as easy to break into you
can guarantee that this lawsuit would have not been so easily derided. .
