    Remember this is the DE version, no doubt the facelift will address the feedback 

     

    I dunno Nissan are slacking. The model life cycle is questionable. I doubt there'll be need for a face-lift when they're due to sell the alternative front bumper in Japan. Maybe can check the nismo parts catalogue. They may have changed their mind on it. Why spend money....

    Out of interest, why is about time?

     

    It served it's purpose but didn't really evolve despite the face lift in 2018. Imagine they had made it into a model 3 type 4 door with a more appealing design. It could have stayed as a hatchback but with a slightly longer wheelbase. They allowed Tesla to steal their market share when they had a 4 year headstart in the mainstream. 

     

    They will struggle compete with the likes of MG who will probably refresh the line up every 3 to 4 years! Selling more appealing designed cars from mid 20s. Prices of Leaf have reduced but the likes of the Ariya at 48k was quite high. I see they reduced them by 5 to 6k since release. So now MG are closing in on Nissan in EV sales. Others have joined the party but BYD and Co are able to offer sub 40k cars easily with new Chinese companies to enter EU market shortly. 

     

    I'm assuming going forward Nissan will make 3 to 4 new crossover SUVs of varying sizes under a new platform. 1 or 2 of them being built in Sunderland. They should include a 4 door saloon they can sell to public sector and govt agencies. Tesla already sold a few to the police. A refresh is needed with new players in the UK. 

  3. They paid out £9,000,000 million to Flintoff who is known for fanning about and taking risks. Apparently rumour has it he wasn't wearing a helmet and was standing up in an open top kit car when he crashed at low speed.
