According to the Japanese newspaper Nikkei, Nissan plans to resurrect its long-vanquished Datsun brand. Reportedly, Datsun will serve to produce low-buck cars for "emerging markets": in this case, Russia, Indonesia, and India. But hey, it's a start. Maybe one day there'll be a cool retrostyled Z car or 510 in it for us. Now if only GM would do the same thing with Pontiac... via Carscoop.

By: vanb86 3/1/2012 4:44 PM huh. impressive, the retro style made modern works again with this. i would like to see pontiac come back too. |

By: JoeCool6972 3/1/2012 5:49 PM THAT IS COOL. I want a 510 or 240z. And it's about time car manufacturers start making cheap small cars again. Not everyone wants a huge overpriced truck or SUV |

By: Jperry3 3/1/2012 6:43 PM I would love to see a 510 or 240z again. What about a small truck line. I don't know about anybody else but for small cars to start at $17,000 is ridiculous. I think Datsun could do it. |

By: cknarf 3/2/2012 2:10 PM If Datsun models returned, they probably wouldn't look that awesome. You know how it goes with concepts/renderings lol. "Well, that is one fine looking machine!" "Indeed, but lets make the production model as ugly as possible. Better yet, let's just not make it!" "GENIUS!" |

By: xXCaliBoiXx 3/6/2012 1:42 AM GM needs to bring back Pontiac and the chevelle |
|
|
By: JarrettS 3/6/2012 4:02 AM If pontaic would come back I would buy the pontaic first don't care for Nissan to much but that's not a bad looking car. |

By: jsfury 3/6/2012 4:07 AM Gee, why not the U.S.? Don't we fall in there somewhere between Russia and Indonesia? |
|
|
By: QuickGTP13 3/6/2012 4:51 AM If tim guessing they would be making small hatchbacks and really cheap small fuel efficient cars. Nothing worth getting excited about. |
|
|
By: StreetDemonzCC 3/6/2012 5:03 AM I'm still gonna get a older 240z first chance I can. |
|
|
By: PSnarky 3/6/2012 5:57 AM Doesn't Nissan already make a cheap car, called the Versa? |
|
|
By: Dyvyne 3/6/2012 7:42 AM If they release a new 510, I'll buy 2! |
|
|
By: Pantherx812 3/6/2012 8:18 AM I'm guessing that we probably won't see anything exciting out of this, but it sure would be neat if we could see a the Z line diverge with Nissan keeping the current Z series and Datsun take a "Fairlday" line with retro styling. |

By: XTZTwinTurbo 3/6/2012 9:48 AM This is not a concept by Nissan. It was a 3d design by an artist on the following site. Where do you guys get your info from?? http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=120908 |

By: dwight916 3/6/2012 10:21 AM looks like a BMW platform with redesigned front end |

|
By: viperbabe35 3/6/2012 10:33 AM that datsun is cool i want one |
|
|
By: OutskirtsCustoms 3/6/2012 10:35 AM Looks cool but I'd personally like to see the big 3 bring back more of the muscle cars, the new Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger are okay but what about the Chevelle, El Camino, Nova, Baracuda, Duster, Dart, Torino, Ranchero, Thunderbolt, Mercury Cougar, or even a retro Bel-Air. And give them some balls! These new power plants suck! |

By: okfoz 3/6/2012 11:21 AM Some of my fondest memories are in a friends Datsun 260Z... Stalling in a gas station Car wash and having to push it out while the wash was going for instance ... Matter of fact it looks a lot like the concept above... But not Orange an black... His is more of a Orange and Green combination. |
|
|
By: FatherDeth 3/6/2012 2:21 PM Nope, but I'd rock the Oldsmobile brand if it were to reemerge!!! |
|
|
By: pulsar38501 3/6/2012 3:15 PM HELL YEAH!! A retro 1200 coupe with IRS and a twincam motor?! Count me ALL in! |
|
|
By: LN7_NUT 3/6/2012 7:58 PM Sign me up for a 510 and a 2000 roadster please! |
|
|
By: 93Cutloose 3/6/2012 10:17 PM 510!!!!!! Hell yea park it next to my 280zx |
|
|
By: PathosBedlam 3/7/2012 10:10 PM If they make it look like that I'd consider it. Might be a fun weekend car if it was a convertible. Or a hard top that you can pull off like a targa top. |
