Actually, they aren't overpriced, they're simply Nissan and Honda's higher-end models sold with a different nameplate because the makers didn't see them selling under the main brand when they were introduced initially in the 80's. Outside of North America they're sold primarily under the main nameplate for similar money (Lexus and Infinity do have some unique to the brand models). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
