#8 of 17 Art Of Crisis Management (and luck) by steve_ HOST

Dec 05, 2011 (6:56 pm)

"In the big picture, Nissan comes over as perhaps the most quick-thinking and streetwise of Japan's top automotive players and that, no doubt, helped the company succeed in terms of recovery from the March earthquake and Thai floods. Nissan also has a portfolio of many good products and a broad, efficient global production footprint to manufacture them. Put that all together and add a slice of good fortune in the mix to explain why Nissan has managed to been more successful than its rivals in dealing with this 2011’s intense adversities."

Makes you wonder if Nissan/Renault will now start building cars to match survey questions.

#12 of 17 A Cost-Cutting Car by steve_ HOST

Oct 02, 2012 (6:05 am)

"No major car company has yet figured out how to penetrate profitably the lowest price segment in emerging markets, even though these countries already make up nearly half of all global vehicle sales.
That Datsun is part of any Nissan power play, especially one this large, is an ironic twist for a company whose very decision to extinguish the car brand in the early 1980s was heaped in controversy. The nameplate was still popular at the time—it was the second-biggest selling foreign brand in the U.S. in 1981, with 580,000 cars sold—but Japan-based executives decided that year to stop using Datsun and replace it with Nissan to unify the corporate identity. The move, which caused widespread confusion among dealerships and buyers, contributed to Nissan's decline at the time and is still considered one of the worst marketing decisions in automotive history.
 
Other critics point to a similarly bold campaign by Mr. Ghosn—the pioneering battery-powered Leaf. Despite great fanfare as the car was rolled out, the Leaf has stalled out over the past year"

Can't see why not. The Logan has sold well, I think.

Interesting - never heard of them before. They even make a Multi Convivial Vehicle. Cheap, easy to fix, made for rough roads. Sounds good.

The Dacia lineup has some appeal to those who want ruggedness, or are simply cheap. Relatively modern, not as crude as older models, simple to the point where they might have a charm to them.
