Plans have reportedly been put together to bring back Datsun. Wait, what? yep you read right. Wasn't Datsun just the name of Nissan before it became Nissan? Why yes, yes it was. But the genius Japanese automaker has found a way to sell us more nissan by auto segrigating customers - as reported sometime back in July - planning on dipping back into its own history to launch a budget brand for developing markets.This sub-brand willd further increase the number of marques in CEO Carlos Ghosn's portfolio that already includes Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Infiniti, Renault-samsung motors and a significant stake in Russia's AvtoVAZ. As Auto Express points out, the Renault-Nissan Alliance already has a budget brand called Dacia (pictured above) that's managed by the French side of the equation and based in Romania.  Nissan's revived Datsun nameplate may, then, amount to little more than rebadged versions of Dacias for markets like Russia and China.Whatever they sell and wherever they sell them, one thing's all but certain: Datsun may  be coming back to South Africa any soon. Oh well, if it comes we'll drive it. but for now just you stick with Nissan and vehicles like the Tiida, Micra, Xtrail and Navara.
