Datsun brand is officially back
Mentioned earlier in this forum, it was stated that Datsun was considering making a return as an entry level affordable vehicle for all. It would first sprout from areas like India and later spread. Well yesterday there was a press release.
The New $7,000 Datsun Is Go

After success with Dacia in Europe, Nissan-Renault seems to have realized that a new brand for emerging markets isn't a bad way to make a little extra change. Thus the reborn Datsun.P
The first product, the Go, is a small five-door hatch with a 1.2-liter engine and a five-speed manual. Really, who needs anything more?P
Each car will be individually developed for, and largely produced in, its own market. India is first with the sub-$7,000 car, but the brand will soon spread to Indonesia, Russia, South Africa and other places where people suddenly have the money to buy a car.
