Cheap affordable cars don’t generate enough profit unless you build them somewhere where the labour costs are a lot cheaper.
Maybes they should do that, oh hang on a minute.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the range, Infinity has now gone I believe. The QQ is a very good seller, I think what they lack is just being a little behind and not progressing fast enough as some competitors, for example rolling out a Hybrid, although I believe that is due this year.

Same reason the bosses went big on diesels, an error
 
The new Juke is the same platform as the Renault Captur so it would take relatively few changes to line 2 to be able to build it. Also the next generation Qashqai and next generation Kadjar share the same platform.

I really hope that this comes to reality as a couple of years ago their was a thread on the politics forum that rumbled on for weeks about turkeys voting for xmas and trying to denigrate the workers at nmuk for voting yes to brexit etc,etc, etc. They just shouted down everybody who disagreed with their views, am sure muffin man and whd were the ringleaders. anyway regardless of the vote most of the accusations of turkey’s voting for xmas was f***ing bullshit,as in my 32 years there,most of the squads I was in lived outside of sunderland.

There was definitely an undercurrent of gloating by the usual mob at the thought of the Sunderland plant closing. Anybody who put a different view, as you say was shouted down Let's hope this news shuts them and their false rhetoric up. I doubt it will though.

Have a look at the original post on the " Is Nissan about to reverse out of the UK" thread over on the politics board. It got conveniently bumped recently.
 
The lefties are just so predictable. It's almost scripted. Its no challenge.

A lot of car manufacturers share lines these days - I beleive when ford scaled down the german plants they moved a lot of it to the VW site in SK. Theres a small site just outside Prague that knocks out Toyota Aygos', Citroen C1's and Peugeot 107's and 108s as they are all similar
