    You can look at at the conviction rate, but thats extremely myopic.

    a) the sentencing and prison times are far more lenient than in US
    b) In the U.S., a rough estimate is that 42% of arrests in felony cases result in prosecution - while in Japan, the figure is only 17.5%.

    Hmmm. Yes I was forgetting about the charge - prosecution step.

    I can't say I ever had an urge to go there, but that's a deal breaker. What a ludicrous system.
    If they have such a perfect policing system, would it not be studied, modeled and rolled out in many many other countries?

    Its justice system is pretty unforgiving to foreigners compared to citizens as well.


    IMO, all Asian countries are similar except HK.... for now.

    It's not a reason not to visit them tho, especially Japan.


    Also, in this incident, the Japanese may have a case here as much as it's probably a political move to get Nissan out of the alliance.

    Someone mentioned Ghosen in another thread and it reminded me to look for updates.
    Seems like the Japanese prosecutors are looking to hang one of Ghosen's underlings.

    Another update from a Financial Post article.
    Except:
    "After eight months laying bare one of the world’s biggest automotive alliances, a Tokyo court is homing in on a pivotal question: was Carlos Ghosn a leader that Nissan could not afford to keep, or could not afford to lose?

    The man actually on trial in the Tokyo District Court is Greg Kelly, a grey-haired Tennessee lawyer who worked at Nissan for 30 years before his 2018 arrest on charges of conspiring to conceal the true scale of Ghosn’s pay by $87m.

    But as the trial has progressed, prosecutors and defence have focused ever more forensically on Ghosn. The former Nissan chair would have been in the dock himself if he had not fled Tokyo for Lebanon in 2019
    ..."

    Ghosn made a lot of money, but how comprehensive was his benefits package?

    I looked it up. The ones I was thinking of were not. Previous generation Armada were apparently built in a similar Titan "platform".
    New Armada are now built on Patrol platforms.

    I just remember that insane one in Dubai that walked the Porsche 918 on Top Gear or Grand Tour or whatever. That didn't look anything like an Armada, to me.

    I think the 2nd Gen started in 2017.
    I'm talking about the differences between 1st and 2nd Gen

    The qx80 started 2013 which was based off the Y62 patrol. It was only years later that the armada came back after it split from the pathfinder line.

    I don't have good sources. Do you have a source?
    I would have bet a fair sum that a 2013 was still a QX56 and not the QX80.

    Yes thats right the qx56 is the older one and renamed to the qx80 when infiniti did their stupid rebadge. But they are the same car with the Y62 chassis which is the overseas Patrol.

    I disagree. According to Wikipedia... "First Gen was 'TA60' from 2004-2016. Second Gen is 'Y62' from 2017 on."

    Ok, it's Wikipedia... But it lines up from my recollection. A 2010 Armada doesn't look anything like this current generation. It's radically different so it's not like it was a simple re-badge.
    I believe that they switched something major. I liked the look of the last generation ones and these new ones look way different and way to similar to the Infiniti (which I think is ugly). I bet they're a nice rig, but I think they're funny looking.

    Lol I think you are reading Wikipedia wrong. The Z62 (north American designation) is the same as the Y62. Hell it even dates back to 2010, so this chassis is 12 years old already.

    Maybe you are thinking of the face lift?

    The second gen armada were 2017 but the patrol chassis have been used since the QX56 if that clears things up.
