It's basically a scam. Though, maybe in a few years if the economy gets better, Nissan/Infiniti might actually start up an engine program or something. They could use the engineering challenge to get some new ideas in their cars if they want to compete with Ford's renaissance.
I had no idea Renault was the majority share holder.
