Just to bring a bit of balance.....

"On Sunday, when Nissan announced its decision not to build the X-Trail SUV in Sunderland, the firm's Europe chairman, Gianluca de Ficchy, said that "the continued uncertainty around the UK's future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future""

Who would have thought that Gianluca de Ficchy is a 'remoaner'.

And realistically would he say anything else ?
Nissan Europe have been caught out lying before, and managed to get several millions out of the govt, which when the lie was revealed they never paid back

If Brexit is the reason for Nissan pulling out of Britain why are they not just transferring to another EU Country?

Fekkin hell all we need now is Grant Webb to raise his head, the man is absolutely convinced that we are all heading for the end of the world after we exit, no amount of telling him to lighten up and wait will slow his crusade.

Exactly, if brexit is to blame then they are pulling out of Britain because they want to remain in the EU so why not just move to another EU Country?

Still got to sell it though...and it won't be in the UK or Europe.
If they slot a petrol lump in it then people will still buy the cheaper Quashquai instead.

We had a 7.5 tonner but Bev was too frightened to drive it & Sarah doesn’t have Granddad rights so I ended up giving up weekends to drive to shows, Bev then said she’d drive a smaller box so we sold the 7.5 tonner & bought a 3.5 tonner, Bev still won’t drive it but at least Sarah can.

Quite nice looking thing for what it is.

I only ever drove one Nissan and it was awful. In fairness it was a Premia. At least I think it was. Totally forgettable.

I had a mid 80's 1.0L Micra (the first of the rounder shaped ones) for a runaround for a couple of years. Total hoot to drive in town and completely bullet proof.
Would've been faster on a space hopper on the motorway, though.....latest Micra is a bag of shite to drive.
