Ever seen the Dodge Caliber? It has parts from Mercedes, VW/Audi, Nissan, and others, and it's built on a Mitsubishi platform.
Daimler Benz has owned Chrysler since 1998-99 and Chrysler and Mitsu have been "in bed" for years. My friends with Eclipses always got pissed when I told them they had Japanese Neons [LOL] Eclipse and Neon shared the same motor (and the problems that came with it...I owned a Neon so I know that all too well).

I am surprised they slipped up on the packaging though!

Just ocurred to me that's the ashtray that fits in the cup holders, right? Someone at Nissan probably just figured out one day that Ford had one that fit!
Me too. It is the cupholder ashtray, a generic one, so my guess is it can go in almost any vehicle. If Courtesy Nissan didn't have one, perhaps Ford across the street did, not uncommon for dealers to get parts from each other. I ordered Toyota dash pieces for a friend through Dodge once....saved him $800 (his Toyota dealer was trying to rape his wallet).
