The most likely thing to happen is that Nissan will slow production to keep dealer inventory low. So the chances for a glut of left over '09s maybe less.

the job cuts will be phased out over a period of a year.


"Of the job cuts, 12,000 will be in Japan, and the rest will be overseas, it said. The company did not give a further regional breakdown. "

"As one key step in response to the dismal results, Ghosn said Nissan's global work force will be reduced by 20,000 through March 2010, to 215,000 from 235,000."
