Nissan even hosted an annual plant tour for us. Never any hassles, only lots of love from Nissan.
Same on my snowmobile forum, as moderator I get to test prototypes 6-24 months before they are put into production.

I'm very upset Honda would threaten the legal hammer to alienate its own customers.
Not really a big deal, manufacturers are very protective of their trademarks. All the forums cave into this, manufacturers can outspend ANY forum owner lawyer wise, a thousand to one. So you change whatever their gripe is and go along your merry way as it really does not affect anything.
