Thailand is a key market for Nissan, an integral part of their growth strategy in Asia. The country now boasts two plants and an R&D facility, and is increasing in importance as the company’s Asian hub for exports and manufacturing. Nissan has invested 3.7 billion Thai Baht in the 580,000 square meter facility, bringing with it 2,000 new job opportunities. Full production capacity is expected to reach 150,000 units per annum.

(I hope Nissan's service will improve over the annoying run-around my wife and I had today trying to buy a car)

This plan was announced in 2012 and they also manufacture pick ups at Laem Chabang

As this is a thread about Nissan can anyone tell me whether the X trail advertised on the Thai Nissan web site is the new version available in Europe? It got quite reasonable reviews and was considered an improvement over the old version.

He has just finished overtaking the fully ladden bus that is overtaking the truck as they come up the hill. Normal occurrence for a pick up to be crossed over the double yellow lines and be on the wrong side of the road. He, however, should be flashing his high-beam to warn those on the correct side of the road to get out of his way.

Nope, although I should be on their VIP list sadly not the case.. Even the spam SMS i get from them is in Thai.

Going to head out to the Fast Motor Show today at Bitec and give the new truck a good looking over cause that's all I can afford . Will keep an eye out for other interesting vehicles around. Wife has told me to not look to much at the pretties....suspect she will make me shower immediately upon my return.
