$3,000 Nissan, $3,000 Nissan compact cars are coming soon to automobile new car dealerships. However, in the company's Datsun revival push, the bare-bones affordable vehicle won't be sold in the United States and other industrialized countries at this time. Top news sources say this could change in the future.
Citing a Tuesday story in the WSJ, Nissan Motor Co. announced plans to release its novel brand in "emerging markets" formally called "third world countries."
Apparently, the new car sales strategy is to take advantage of a fast-moving trend in low-cost vehicle demand in these regions. Nissan hopes to become the low-cost leader in setting base pricing for new cars.
A $3,000 Nissan vehicle is part of the motor company's plans to revive the Datsun brand that faded to black in 1983. Remember the slogan "Datsun, We Are Driven!" that baby boomers grew fond of in their heyday?
Obviously, a cheap Nissan vehicle revival is not without opposition. On one hand, car enthusiasts believe it will fill rising demands for low-cost cars in emerging markets.
On the other hand, a bare-bones compact car in the tradition of Datsun somewhat depreciates the brand, long known for economy and its bells and whistles.
However, a $3,000 Nissan will not come with modern must-have features like GPS, upgraded safety features and plush interiors.
And if you want automation, forget about it. You'll just have to get used to cranking your windows up and down like the good old days. Still, the price tag is attractive, right?
