Just bought a car for the first time in 13 years. Still refuse to consider Nissan products due to their using the legal system to harass others using their family name over trademark.

Nissan the car company name has nothing to do with a person named Nissan. It was landed upon by committee.
While I understand trademarks "must be defended" is part of the laws that govern them, the law is garbage. It's giving special privilege to already established human language when it's used like this.
If you take a known name and make a "trademark" around it, you should get no special protection.
