OMG!!!! Look At This
4x4=16 wow!!! Toyota has 17% NISSAN 4%
That means that people who would prefer a Toyota EV to a NISSAN is more than 4 times greater (even after all their “good” publicity Toyota got this winter). Worse 2 times the amount of people would rather buy an EV from a company that just went bankrupt. OMG!!!! YOUR reputation has become one big OUCH!!!!
My “thought” the NISSAN North America “Good Ole Boy’s” succeeded at turning YOUR reputation into &%$# (something that could be flushed down a toilet). I’m a lady so I won’t say the word… I think YOU get it.
I was told in Mark Stout’s office that there was a “filter” system in place so that Mr. Tavares would NOT know of problems. Obviously Mr. Kelly had the same “filters” working in Tokyo.
NISSAN: Mr. Tavares would have never listened to his relocation consultant had his “North American” team had been candid, professional and honest in telling him of problems. It's Scary!!!
AMERICA: It’ took an “outsider” a “skirt” to speak otherwise Failure would have succeeded in North America and our tax dollars would have been “flushed” too.
A SPECIAL "Thank You" to those working on Team Tavares the last 14 months. FYI- I’m sure there has been a team working 24/7 cleaning up the mess that was created by unethical HR that discriminated. YOU deserve a “great” vacation. ??? Cabo.
??? Mr. Tavares
??? Is The" Play Pen" is closed.
Managers and Directors: Just think…. If the problems were not identified 14 months ago by global leadership maybe those “pay cuts “ would have continued as the “status quo”.
As of now in “perception” Reuters casts YOU NISSAN at #9 that’s a double OUCH!!!
Tokyo GOOD NEWS!!! Americans LOVE a good comeback… It’s part of the American “dream”.
For that to happen it takes "1" team.
The tranquility room might be needed to assist in the COMEBACK.

Let’s make Mark Stout’s office the room to “open minds” with a Bose sound system loaded with“culturally driven” relaxation music.. The office is “hidden away” near the kitchen (we’ll have bottles of water and fresh fruit).
Fantastic!!!
Turning that “torture chamber into a place of inspiration….. Poetic Justice. It’s a Win~Win.
Have A Great Night/Day!!! Sharyn

Read Below…. Image is Everything.
…….From Deloitte a study on brands best positioned this year in the United States in reference to the EV…… for the full article “Google” I’m being “kind” by not using the name of the articles title…..DETROIT, May 13 (Reuters):
………………..The study also showed that Nissan and General Motors Co [GM.UL], the two major automakers that will introduce electric vehicles this year, face a potential problem with consumer perception of their brands when it comes to electric cars.
"The auto purchase decision in the United States is very much a brand purchase. People tend to affiliate with automotive brands," said Robert Hill of Deloitte, during a webcast to detail the study's findings."
A Deloitte survey found that 17 percent of consumers would prefer to buy an electric car from Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T), 15 percent from Honda Motor Co (7267.T) and 12 percent from Ford Motor Co (F.N).
GM's Chevrolet brand was fourth at 8 percent, and Nissan was ninth at 4 percent.
Tesla Motors, which already has a high-performance electric car on the road and is using U.S. government funding to develop a mass-market offering, was at 2 percent.
Deloitte's Hill said brands like Chevy, Nissan and Tesla might have to spend more on marketing than better positioned brands.
"The onus will be on them in a very difficult automotive market that they will bear the burden of educating consumers," he said.
