Ke hoʻi nei ʻo Datsun.

ʻO ka hōʻailona Iapana nāna i hoʻokumu i ke kumu no ke aupuni Nissan o kēia lā a lawe mai i ka compact 1600 a me ka 240Z i nā ʻumi kaukani o Australia e mākaukau nei no kahi hana hou i ke kenekulia 21. 

Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Nissan i nā hoʻolālā e hoʻomaka i kahi laina Datsun e kūʻai ʻia ma Rūsia, India, Indonesia a me nā mākeke kaʻa ʻē aʻe. Hōʻike nā hōʻike mai Iapana ʻo Datsun ka hōʻailona makemake no ka pana hou, me ka manaʻo e kūʻai aku ma kahi o 300,000 mau kaʻa i hoʻokahi makahiki me nā kaʻa - nā minivans me nā kaʻa - kūʻai ʻia mai $5700 wale nō.

Mai manaʻo ʻoe e hōʻea mai nā Datsuns i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i Australia me ka manaʻo ʻo Nissan ʻaʻole e holo ke kumu kūʻai. "ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke noʻonoʻo i kahi e kūpono ai kahi hōʻailona e like me kēia i loko o kā mākou kōpili," i haʻi aku ai ka ʻōlelo a Nissan Jeff Fisher iā Carsguide.

"Loaʻa iā mākou ka ST Micra ma lalo, a hiki i ka Nissan GT-R ma luna. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi kumu, ma ke ʻano maikaʻi loa. Ma hea mākou e waiho ai i ka Datsun ma laila?

"No Australia, ʻaʻohe o ka nīnau. ʻaʻole iki.

"Ma kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻo Australia kahi mākeke makua, ʻaʻole kahi mea e kū mai ana."

Hele mai ka hoʻolālā o Datsun i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o nā mea hana ʻelua i nā hoʻolālā kūʻai ʻelua no nā ʻāina like ʻole e like me Turkey a me Indonesia. Hāʻawi kēia iā lākou e hoʻolaha i kā lākou hoʻomohala ʻana a me nā kumukūʻai hana me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka mana a me nā kumukūʻai o nā kiʻi kumu.

ʻO Renault, kahi ʻāpana o ka hui ʻo Nissan-Renault, hoʻohana i ka brand Dacia no kāna mau kaʻa haʻahaʻa, ʻoiai ʻo Suzuki e hoʻohana iā Maruti ma India. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Toyota Australia e hoʻokuke iā Daihatsu i ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o ka ʻoihana kaʻa no kekahi manawa, akā ua hoʻihoʻi ʻo ia i ka wā hiki ʻole i nā kaʻa ke kūʻai aku ma Australia.

ʻO Datsun ka inoa poʻokela o ka hui makua ʻo Nissan no nā makahiki he 30, ʻoiai ua ʻike maoli ʻia nā kaʻa mua i ka makahiki 1930. Ma hope o ka kūleʻa me ka 1600 a me 240Z, akā ʻaʻole i hāʻule me nā mea āpau mai ka 200B a i ka 120Y, ua hoʻopau ʻia ka hōʻailona ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā makahiki 1980.

Ma Australia, ua kūʻai mua ʻia nā kaʻa me nā hōʻailona Datsun, a laila ʻo Datsun-Nissan, a laila Nissan-Datsun a hope ʻo Nissan wale nō i ka manawa i lilo ai ʻo Pulsar i ka poʻokela brand kūloko.

ʻO ke kumu o ka inoa Datsun e hoʻi iā Kenjiro Dan, Rokuro Aoyama a me Meitaro Takeuchi, nāna i kūkulu i kahi kaʻa a puni 1914 a hoʻohui i kā lākou mau hua mua e kapa ʻia ʻo Dat. Ma 1931, ua hana ʻia kahi kaʻa hou loa, kapa ʻia ʻo Datsun i ke keiki a Date.
