The return of the Datsun, for $3,000.00?

Carlos Ghosn
Carlos Ghosn, CEO and chairman of*Motor Co., recently visited the Tokyo bureau of The Wall Street Journal to discuss, among other topics, his plans to revive the automaker’s Datsun brand after a 30-year hiatus.

Asked about why Japan’s No. 2 carmaker needs a third brand after Nissan and Infiniti—and whether Nissan can even make a profit on a $3,000 vehicle—Mr. Ghosn described his vision for Datsun, and gave a hint about what’s to come from the nameplate’s new lease on life. Excerpts follow:

WSJ: Why Datsun, and why now?

Mr. Ghosn: The responsibility of every CEO is to make sure that you have enough waves for growth for the future…The most obvious one is geographical extension…But all car manufacturers are already practically everywhere. So in a certain way the growth [era] coming from geographical extension is ending because we are all global. We have, in our midterm plan, three [new] accelerators of growth that we have identified. The first one is [Nissan’s luxury brand] Infiniti….The second accelerator, obviously, [is] the [Leaf] electric car…And the third is low-cost cars.

When I say ‘low-cost car,’ I’m talking about the one that we mentioned, $3,000-$5,000, engineered and produced in India first and probably expanded after that to other markets for which we are building platforms and we’re working with partners…The third wave is very important because this is the one which is going to accelerate the move in emerging markets from people who are buying used cars, or people who are driving motorcycles today, or people who have nothing for transportation, to [enabling] people who would like a car. The only reason which is blocking them is the price.

WSJ: Can you make any money on a $3,000 car?

Mr. Ghosn: Oh yeah.

If we sold every tree in the world we could pay off the national debt and give every man woman and child in the world a check for 800k. From the History channels "what's the world worth."
