**NISSAN APOLOGIZES FOR ASBESTOS IN VEHICLES …** _Nissan Motor Co. has discovered asbestos in motor vehicles it produced between 1995 and 1999, despite the March 1996 declaration that it had stopped using the harmful material in its products, according to a report on [JustAuto.com](http://JustAuto.com)._ _The automaker has apologized for its past “improper information disclosure” on the use of asbestos, which is blamed for causing a rare cancer called mesothelioma._ _Nissan said 165,804 vehicles produced for the Japanese domestic market were equipped with asbestos-containing components such as engine air cleaners between 1995 and 1999._ ---

i think the 3rd gen max suspension was the best, and i really liked the style. the vg was definately lacking in power compared to the vq though. ive never driven a max with a ve so im not sure how much that would have helped. ---

_vehicles produced for the Japanese domestic market_ OMG I’M GOING TO DIE Too bad you have to be a member to read the full article, why don’t you help us all out and post the whole thing halas? At least prove to us you spent the $195 membership fee because you’re interested in their reporting and not just searching the web for a vague paragraphs about something negative towards imports. And from that same webiste: _ **USA: Automakers face hitch with asbestos lawsuit defence 27 Aug 2002 Source: just-auto.com editorial team** _ _Article Summary: US automakers have hit a setback in their attempt to stave off soaring legal costs over thousands of asbestos-related lawsuits. An appeals court in Philadelphia has thrown out a request by several companies to be named as 'related parties' in the bankruptcy of auto-parts maker Federal-Mogul Global Inc. - one of several dozen companies driven into bankruptcy by asbestos litigation._ OMG I’ve owned a domestic, where do I sign up for this lawsuit? :bloated: EDIT: lol, wait: _… vehicles produced for the Japanese domestic market were equipped with asbestos-containing components such as engine air cleaners…_ OMG!!! CARS MADE IN JAPAN AND USED ONLY SOLD JAPAN HAD ASBESTOS IN THEIR AIR FILTERS!!! I’M GOING TO DIE!!1 ---
