Personally I'd be happy to own a Patrol again in the future, but I'd never buy a new one (if that were still possible).

If Nissan go to the wall, I don't think it will be the quality of their product that is the reason, more it's failure to cultivate a loyal customer base.
Spot on Cuppa.
From about 2005, I worked with a woman who previously worked in the service reception at a new car dealership that had Nissan and Holden brands. Her comment was in warranty work, that Holden would do almost anything to keep the customer happy but Nissan would make it very difficult if not impossible.
There is the problem if that situation is world wide.
