Beginning in 2014, Nissan Motor Co. (OTC: NSANY.PK) will begin selling cars in the emerging markets of India, Russia, and Indonesia under the ‘Datsun’ brand. Nissan stopped using the Datsun name in 1981.
The rebirth of Datsun will be announced formally tomorrow, but a reasonable guess is that the company wants a unique brand for cars priced at the low end of the market, retaining the Nissan brand for more costly models.
In India, Nissan trails far behind market leader Maruti Suzuki’s 42% share and Hyundai’s 19% share with just 1.5% of total sales. In Indonesia, there are currently only 32 cars for every 1,000 people, a proportion Nissan expects to double by 2017.
Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
