Both sides would be fare better off if they came to out of court agreement and sell domain to Nissan Motors.
1. This is not usual cybersquating, a legitimate, but far less popular business.
2. Given Nissan Motors financials, paying few mln USD is a drop in the bucket:

3. On the other hand that would be a lot of money for Uzi Nissan.
4. Spending 10+ years in court is counter-productive and probably already cost several times more in opportunity gains. Both sides losses. Business equivalent of prison dilemma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma
5. Low-cost meditation. Send each party copy of book: http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-Without/dp/B001TI3OFA http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-With...
Book a weekend trip to some luxurious place, where each party can get comfortable and try to strike a deal.

I assume either Mr. Nissan didn't want to sell the domains at any price (unlikely but possible) or insisted Nissan pay eleventy bajillion dollars for them, leaving Nissan with court as their best option.
