I doubt that it would happen.

Like any company, especially a well established one, it uses it's name to stand for it's product. To change it's logo, let alone it's whole name that it markets it's products under is a HUGE gamble!!!

I guess this is a little different cause it is reverting back to a name it previously had, but i really can't see it happening as a worldwide change over, especially in certain country's such as here in oz or in asia where it is a major established brand.

Maybe in those countries where the brand and sales are strugling they may take the risk. I dunno.

Would be good in one way as it would mean we datsun fans would be able to continue our passions with datsun vehicles even after the past generations of cars become impossible to find and very very expensive. Also would mean heaps more merchandise, and may even produced a renewed love and interest in the older generation of vehicles. This would mean values and availability of parts would increase which would sucks balls.

On the flip side if it turns out to be a cheap ploy to make cut price nasty little plastic peices of korean or chinese junk then it would cheapen the legendary name and that would be a tragic shame.
