Not many people buy any of these brands in volume. Sure some buy the navara or triton but that's only based on low pricing, but when was the last time anyone really cared about those brands? For mits it was the evo and for nissan it was the skyline and that's a long time ago - and performance sedans are dead. They don't even have much skin in the small hatch back segment, nissan or mits haven't sold much there in a long time. Except the leaf it's on in the renault megane.
Sharing platforms never really hurt ford and mazda did it?

You would be hard pressed to find anything worth buying from any of them beyond say a Megane RS, or Nissan GTR. The rest of their ranges are just cheap boring crap. Outlanders, ASX, X- Trails etc. All just boring crap. Yet they have a long history of making really cool stuff. Evo's, Skylines etc, etc.
