Yeah I don’t think they would buy it. It’d just result in bad press.

  "All press is good press." Remember getfirefox.com? Can you imagine how many people type nissan.com into their browser? And how niche that press release would be?

    > Can you imagine how many people type nissan.com into their browser? I bet it’s not that many. When’s the last time you entered a URL in the address bar directly for a website you’d never been to? I don’t even trust myself to not have an accidental typo so if it’s not a bookmark or copy/paste from an external source, it goes through a search engine.

      I think people do it more than you'd guess; especially the case where they have been to the correct Nissan site recently, didn't notice the URL, and then are navigating back quickly. I have done that within the last few years: I was attempting to install Steam on a new machine, and forgot the address is actually "store.steampowered.com".

        My experience/observation has been the opposite. Most users don't even know there is a "location bar" they can put URLs into. The search box/bar is all there is, they will enter a company name and click on the first search result in preference to entering any URL no matter how simple, they don't even know they can enter a URL in a different way than executing a google search for it.
