Nissan - what do they do again?

[Tom109]

I did own an ‘82 Datsun 210. Paid $500 for it with 90k miles, sold it 6 years later at 156k miles for $300. Was a great little hatchback.

i had an '84 300zx. after the dealer got me for 900 bucks in '89 for a distributor, i would go out and leave it parked in the middle of the city on a saturday night with the keys in it and the windows down. it was unfathomable that no one would drive off and ruin it.

Related but unrelated note - Honada may merge with Nissan (and Mitsubishi).

Probably fair to say that there Japanese brands grabbed huge market shares starting in the 80's.

Mostly due to more advanced manufacturing.

The tables have turned, now the Chinese are beating the Japanese at their own game.

(Not quite so much in the US where the government have tended to protect their domestic manufacturers)

those guys ran Carlos Ghosn out of town and look where that took them.
Nissan used to have cool products but last couple of years hasn't been inspiring.

His legal troubles spread worldwide

I read the case, seemed more like a palace coup than true malfeasance.
I think shareholders suffered more without him than with him.

The new patrol pro4x is only $80k.
same price as a poorly equipped grenadier… good vehicle

Nissan has 15 months of cash and after that it's bankruptcy. Tough place to be.
They are hoping to merge with Honda to stave off disaster.

Not great, and I hope they pull through.

Ineos Auto still operating?
