I think this is a smart move for Nissan. Nissan has many models in its
product line from the feul thrifty Sentra and Versa, to the goliath,
earth destroying, gas guzzling monsters like the Pathfinder Armada and
the Infiniti QX-56.
We live in the US where gas prices are at $3.50 per gallon. And,
unknown to GW, that's only 50 cents away from $4/gallon gas. The
Pathfinder large and the QX56 are not going to be popular in this
environment.
So what does Nissan do? Force those big boys to Chrysler, a car
company which, for the second time, is desperately fighting for its
continued existence, and then charge Chrysler and arm and their 1st
born for permission to build the Versa and Sentra type models in
Nissan's lineup.
It is payback to Chrysler again for pushing the wrong products at the
wrong time. The Chrysler 300, Magnum and the HEMI. Heck, if gas fell
back to $1/gallon I'd be keen on a HEMI, but not now.

Hey, The Big 3 CEO's have been quite clear on this point. Americans
want to buy big SUV's and trucks - and that's why they continue to
build them instead of fuel efficient smaller vehicles and why those
honkin big vehicles sell so well!
Oh... wait... remove the last part of that sentence.
