The Honda/Toyota/Nissan thing is a lot like the ford/chevy/dodge thing...Honda and Toyota being the closest match as are ford and chevy, while Nissan is like dodge...both are best known for their one-off ~$100k supercar (gtr, viper), their well priced sub $30k sporty family cars (altima and charger), their full size trucks (ram and Titan), and their dedicated sports cars (350Z, Challenger). Otherwise, both are only decent at best. Honda and Toyota are more well rounded companies, as are ford and chevy. Nothing against Nissan or Dodge, I'm jus' sayin...
