On Monday, 15 July 2013, the name DATSUN will be making a come-back - having its "World-wide Premiere" - from India (of all places). The countdown has begun....
Question is: Is this new Datsun going to be as good as what we've come to expect from our rides over the years? What will happen with those rigid lines, the "SSS" branding, rear-wheel drive and general fun factor we experience (daily) with our rides. Or, are we just nostalgic? Isn't it about time the brand comes back and has a facelift? All in the name of obtaining a new, younger market... even though if you look at the various ages of Datsun lover's all over... it makes you wonder...
Have you taken a peek at the new design, including the (blue-ish) badging? Does this strike the same cord with you? Does it give you that same "I (heart) DATSUN" feeling? Would you buy one?
What's your opinion? Feel free to add your comment below...

Great question! Wouldn't like to be negative, but got a terrible feeling we may be disappointed with the offerings (at least initially).
ReplyDeleteFor one thing, Datsun was a premier brand. It seems Nissan is now pitching it as their low-cost vehicles. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but Nissan has a bad rep when it comes to listening to their customers.
At least Datsun merchandise like t-shirts and caps etc. will be more readily available lol.
