I think its really impressive how well the market responded to the Titan, even though it has some problems of its own.

Nissan has hired young engineers and designers to revamp their line replacing the aging conservative kind.
I think Toyota is following their lead with the new line up in Lexus, they are starting to look good and sound exciting. Not that I have tried any, but now at least I will give them consideration if it comes to that.
Honda, I have always admired their engineering and R&D that goes into the product line.
If like reading, there are two books that I would recommend about Honda and Toyota and how/why they are what they are today.
1. Honda Motor: the men, the management, the machines /
2. Against all odds : the story of the Toyota Motor Corporation and the family that created it /

For example, S2000 is available elsewhere in the world outside US with the 2.0L engine.

my z was a nightmare.
i had 17 different trips (some with multiple issues) for warranty works.
4x for feathering
2x for window motors
1x for clicking in rear axle
1x faulty amp
etc...
ended up filing a lemon law suit on the z. but traded it in cuz it would take too long.
let the buyer beware.

I still have my 1993 Nissan Pick-up, and after about 145,000 miles I have only good things to say about Nissan reliability. I never had a single problem with the truck outside of normal maintenance such as brakes, shocks, tires, and a couple tunes ups to replace belts and hoses, etc. The truck was a big reason I stuck with Nissan and bought my Z.
