TAKEN FROM NEWS24.COM From NISSAN SA.

With regards to the 1400 Bakkie:
Production ceased on this model due to new homologation regulations that came into effect in January 2008. However, there is sufficient stock to carry us until the replacement model - so if you are part of the many die-hard fans & customers for this legendary rear wheel drive workhorse, you still have a chance to get one.

That in itself answered the question: Yes, we will have a replacement for this model and we believe our contender will be competitive. Our competitors are also reading these replies, so enough said for now...

See the artical for yourself - Clicky

This pic is of the last one ever built.

So teh rumours were true about the Dacia thing replacing the 1400 bakkie. a Scoop they call the story. I say a scoop of sh!t yes...
