Nissan "no-show" at the auto show

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-16-2010, 11:07 PM

Nissan has been skipping a lot of auto shows because of the reduction in car sales. Since 2007, nissan total sales have dropped near 40% and the only true seller is the altima. Even sentra is so hard hit that this year, it got a new fascia, navigation, upgraded suspension, interior updates and instead of nissan raising the price... they dropped the price by $1,000.
Prices have dramatically increased on infiniti packages and a mild increase on the Z tranny and touring package to cover some of the costs. Also they will again for the 3rd year, will only appear in very few auto shows limited to major cities. It costs nissan millions of dollars a year to attend auto shows... so until car sales start picking up? This will be the trend.
