Not sure what the point of bringing back the Datsun brand for these emerging markets? Why not just call it a Nissan Micra and be done with it?

Is it just a coincidence that Hostess is bringing back the Twinkee on the same date?

A baby-blue (Sora Blue?) grocery- getter. That should ignite the young buyer LOL
Next let's see the marketing campaign.
Ughh.

Its not so bad. It should be sold here. A brand new economy car for 7k is a no brainer.
Will trade guitars for roadsters, food, shelter, clothes, etc, etc.

You already know the answer.

Re: The new Datsun launches July 15. Here's a preview
Funny, with exceptions of course, we're closer to a bunch of aging curmudgeons who are clinging to old technology in a modern world, which is fine with me. .The marque's new website says Datsun is the brand of "the Risers. Young Risers in high-growth markets who are ahead of the curve".

I do want some "Datsun" emblems to put on my Frontier

Not a new roadster but a new 510! Called the Nissan IDZ: Can't wait to see it in action.
Nismo version comes with a 1.6 turbo and it looks great!

Interesting. There's a lot going on on that car. I prefer the non race version. Reminds me of a 70s era Toyota Celica ST.
