Good for Nissan customers in the US, as this will keep prices from rising to cover costs for the Yen. Nissan will still be unhappy as US Dollars still won't buy many Yen. However Nissan is owned by Renault, in France. The US Dollar compares much better to the Euro than to the Yen. So, better for Carlos Ghosn than Yen.
