Bump! Not for our market (at least initially) but $3,000 - $5,000 cars: > But to have a shot at keeping the price at $3,000 for the lowest-priced model—which even Nissan officials concede will be a hard to pull off—the company will have to jettison features that have long been standard in the U.S. but not in developing markets, from automatic transmissions to a full supply of air bags. [http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2012/10/02/can-3000-cars-revive-nissans-datsun-brand/](http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2012/10/02/can-3000-cars-revive-nissans-datsun-brand/) > the cars will only offer manual transmissions and their exhaust systems will be noisier and vibrate more, much as they did before the addition of silencers and stabilizers, according to people familiar with Nissan’s plans. Datsun’s team is also peeling back the now-typical multilayered approach to safety for markets that care less about it than the U.S. “If an accelerator pedal sticks, they tend to overlook it rather than obsess,” says Datsun team senior adviser Tokuichiro Hosaka, referring to emerging-market buyers.

That’s because America is full of babies and whiners. I’d like to see people’s hands getting cut off for stealing and licenses suspended for a decade for drunk driving. We’d be number one again. ---

Guys, stealing and drunk driving have nothing to so with this topic; Emissions and safety standards do. ---

Emerging markets love ballin’ on a budget. If it looks like a real car for 5k they’re willing to accept the fact that it may explode. They just need to accessorize with some Chinese 22’s ---
