    Nissan Profit Plunges 99%; 12,500 Job Cuts Eminent

      ...Profit margin shriveled to 0.1 percent...

    Yesterday we reported that Nissan may be cutting up to 10,000 jobs.... we were short by about 2,500. Nissan Motor Company's CEO Hiroto Saikawa said "The results were really more negative than we expected" in a financial briefing at Nissan Headquarters.  Operating profit was nearly wiped out, falling to just $14.8 million in the first fiscal quarter ending June 30th.  Operating margin shrank from 4.0 percent last year to barely 0.1 percent this year.  Global retail volume fell 6.0% to 1.23 million vehicles.

    On the back of these poor results. Nissan has annouced job cuts of up to 12,500 worldwide as part of a plan to revive the company.  Of that, 6,400 job cuts are already underway with 1,420 jobs lost in the U.S.  An additional 6,100 job cuts are planned over the next 4 years. Most of the job cuts will be at plants that are working below capacity. 

    In the U.S., Nissan is trying to move away from fleet sales and focus on increasing retail sales, with the goal of boosting retail sales by 100,000 units.

    I didn't know they sold retail. I thought they were a rental car company, exclusively.

    The sins of excessive dependence on fleet sales have finally visited themselves on Nissan.  Apparently, they have not learned from Ford and GM that moving the metal kills profits AND resale values.  I do hope that Nissan has the guts to close underperforming factories as opposed to just cutting hours and shifts.

    Apparently they are killing a plant in Indonesia and in India.

      As opposed to the “original” designs from Kia and Hyundai that have borrowed from others for decades now? Make it make sense outside of your obvious anti Toyota bias.

      Yes some homage, but the sides of the original FJ did not squeeze in and look like a pinch cut off. This is a far better design imho. Nope not even started as it is still work time here, but so much of the front end I see already on the various Kia EV models. Nothing new in this.

      KIA EV4. Delayed. Indefinitely. For the...US market.

      By oldshurst442 · Posted

      For whatever reason,  the KIA EV4 has been postponed. From the US market. Until further notice.  Probably never to be offered actually. The EV3 however,  is expected to go on sale early 2026.    KIA says that EV market conditions have shifted and changed.  So there was a reason given actually.    Random thought:  Don't be surprised if even the EV3 does not go on sale in the US either.   For the same reasons as to why the EV4 is delayed and postponed indefinitely until further notice in the near to far future.     https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69207203/kia-ev4-delayed-indefinitely-united-states/   The EV4 was supposed to be one of two affordable models to bolster the bottom end of Kia's electric lineup, but now seems unlikely to arrive stateside.   At least Mopar gets it... The EV Charger Daytona was canceled but a surprise Charger engine  will be announced shortly for it.   Could it be that Dodge will offer a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 for it?  Formally known as the Hellcat engine?   Oh baby baby baby!!!!  Maybe if KIA could also offer a supercharged V8 for it and call it the evangelical anti-christ,  they be in business.   Oh snap...built in South Korea...tariffs and all.  Ok ok ok... Maybe they build a factory...in Georgia.  That would be the state and not the country       for all the Americans reading this out there.  Not that Americans would actually know there is a country named Georgia anyhow...      Oh snap again...

      Sure, if you’re drunk and forgot your glasses, then they look the same lol.    Otherwise, if there was a Kia badge on that, you’d be praising the design. See the EV3 as an example.
