How do you make a splash in Japan's booming minicar market selling yet another tiny box with an engine a third the size of a Honda Civic's? If you're Nissan, you dub your car Pino (after Pinocchio) and pitch it to young women who can't resist upholstery embossed with stars and sparkly hubcaps "inspired by snowflake crystals." And that's just the start of the cute-sell: A Nissan website also lets the ladies accessorize with stuffed animals and heart-shaped decals and then e-share the sugary visuals with friends. The payoff: Since the car's launch in January, Nissan has been beating sales forecasts by 15 percent while pricing the Pino's base model 23 percent higher than the Suzuki Alto, the plain-Jane mini on whose platform the Pino is built.Wed, 22 Aug 2007 11:48:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/AUTOS/08/01/iihs_luxury_bumper/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/AUTOS/08/01/iihs_luxury_bumper/index.html#cnnSTCTextIn tests designed to replicate low-speed impacts, the bumpers of several luxury cars failed to prevent costly damage.

One of the results is the Rogue, which will arrive in showrooms this fall. The way Nissan went about conceiving the Rogue reveals the complexities of predicting what customers will want to buy five years into the future - and the risk of betting hundreds of millions of dollars on the outcome.Wed, 18 Jul 2007 03:21:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1630310,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1630310,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsissan Motor Co. is recalling over 92,000 vehicles for faulty clutch and seat covering problems, the company and the Transport Ministry said ThursdayFri, 08 Jun 2007 22:45:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2007/03/16/markets/markets_nyopen/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2007/03/16/markets/markets_nyopen/index.htmU.S. stocks opened little changed Friday as an inflation report generally in line in expectations kept investors at bay.Fri, 16 Mar 2007 13:17:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2007/03/16/markets/stockswatch/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2007/03/16/markets/stockswatch/index.htmA key read on inflation showed core consumer prices meeting expectations, taking stock futures off their lows before the open.Fri, 16 Mar 2007 09:22:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/10/01/8387123/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/10/01/8387123/index.htmNissan has long lagged Toyota in sales.
