This is really trivial. Have been puzzled by this mismatch in year of production record in logcard and label in the car. The B180 was registered in Dec/2015, but the metal plate label at the driver door indicated MY2016. Logcard record is put at 2015. I know must follow the detail in the logcard, just curious why it was put as MY2016 in the car. Any one knows why the discrepancy? Hope I am not wasting bandwidth here haha.

Hi guys, was observing my tyres earlier and found that the two tyres on the right had the manufacturing date printed on them, but not those on the left. I've attached the pictures. Is this strange or is it because the dates are printed on the inner sidewall?

A report from The Financial Times predicts that China will build more passenger cars and light commercial vehicles than Europe for the first time ever in 2013. This should not come as a surprise as European car makers such as Opel, Ford of Europe and PSA Peugeot Citroen have announced plans to cut production this year. Analysts expect China to produce a total of 19.6 million cars this year versus 18.3 million units in Europe. In 2012, China and Europe rolled out 17.8 million and 18.9 million cars respectively. However, all is not lost for Europe as its sluggish economy is showing signs of recovery. The PMI index for the 17-member Eurozone hit a nine-month high in December 2012 although the reading of 47.2 reflected an 11th month of contraction. But, if The Financial Times' estimates were accurate, about 23.8% of vehicles sold this year will be produced in China which is almost ten times higher than in year 2000. Taking into account Europe

[extract] Very soon, we may not get Infiniti models that are manufactured in Japan. This is a pity but inevitable in order for the luxury car manufacturer to survive as the cost to build cars in Japan has risen due to the high Japanese Yen. The new Infiniti manufacturing base has not been selected yet but Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn, was quoted saying that both North America and China are under consideration. For the readers

[extract] The Datsun moniker was first used in Japan in 1931 and the decision to change the name Datsun to Nissan was announced in 1981. The rationale was that the name change would help the pursuit of a global strategy that would simplify product design, manufacturing and publicity material. No decision last forever and Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO, Carlos Ghosn, has announced the revival of the Datsun brand for emerging markets during his recent visit to Indonesia. At the same time, Ghosn also revealed Datsun

For years, the Detroit Three have moved production out of their U.S plants to avoid the high cost of union labor. In October 2011, Ford Motor Co. signed a tentative labor contract with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union that partly reverses that trend. The new four-year contract includes adding 12,000 hourly jobs at its U.S facilities over the next four years as a result of relocation of production from Mexico, Japan and China back to America. The move by Ford has earned itself praises from no less than the US President himself, Barack Obama. Mr Obama sited Ford as an example of companies that are bringing jobs back to the US and contributing to the growth of its economy. At the same time, he also credited the effort to the UAW for making the deal possible. In the next few weeks, the President plans to introduce new tax proposals to reward companies that are investing in the US and cut tax breaks for companies that are moving their operations out of the US. An underutilized factory in Flat Rock, Michigan will help build the next generation Fusion mid-sized car that to date has been produced only in Mexico. Another Ford plant in Kentucky will assemble commercial vans that the company now builds in Turkey. All of the new hires are expected to earn slightly more than half of what the veteran auto workers get. This is to ensure that the US is cost competitive against its foreign rivals.
