Their only purpose seems to be to occupy this domain to counter Nissan the car company. Their own actual business doesn't look that remarkable or even successful. It has eclipsed the purpose of existence almost. Maybe time to declare this isn't worth the trouble in life, and there are better things to spend effort on? What are you winning? Sell, and make a buck while you can. There isn't much principled fight to be g…
Uzi Nissan just died of COVID19. It will be interesting to see if his relatives stick to his principals, and hold onto the web site in memory of him, or make millions and sell to Nissan. I hope they hold on. I predict someone will eventually sell, though. Principled people are few and far between. https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/uzi-nissan-who...

It's the guy's name. He registered the domain 5 years before Nissan Motor Company showed interest. He seems to have started businesses further and further from "automobiles" so that he wouldn't have a trademark dispute with the car company.
> Their own actual business doesn't look that remarkable or even successful.
Is that the measure by which someone should keep their property?

On one hand, you have someone with absolutely no use for the the name holding out against an entity that everyone in the world would assume has ownership of it.
On the other hand, you have a company that tried to strong arm the small domain owner in court.

Why would the car maker even care about paying top dollar for the domain at this point?
That site just looks like he's holding out for more money.
Trying to profit on the mark is what caused Ford to win a lawsuit over a domain auction site that was selling volvoguy.com, jaguarenthusiastsclub.com, vintagevolvos.com, and others. “bad faith intent to profit” cited in the ruling.
