Nissan may ask for bailout

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. is considering seeking financial assistance from the government amid a global sales decline, according to a published report Friday. Nissan has a lot of cash on hand, but is trying to secure its financial base by diversifying funding options, the Nikkei reported. The assistance could be in the form of 50 billion yen ($556 million) in low-cost funds raised from the state-backed Development Bank of Japan, it added. Nissan is also mulling tapping another government aid program run by Japan Bank for International Cooperation, which was founded to help Japanese firms with operations outside the country. Nissan shares gained 1.1% in Tokyo.

Apparently he was and, more importantly, all his posts disappeared :) Suddenly all of Lexus cars feel better :) It looks like his massive effort and commitment, passion and consistency, all the sweat he broke to bash anything from this manufacturer has just been sent down the shitter by some supernatural Autospies forces :D Feel the power of 001! That must have been a hard hit for the ego which will hinder his resurrection. Even my dog felt this morning something good has happened, wagging his tail :) I'll miss Charles, however :P

Wow, I take off for two days, come back and Chunky's gone? The mods on this site are pretty fair, he must have really disrespected someone to get banned. Oh well, RIP chuckG37.

Chucky will probably just log into one of his other screen names and continue to post. I believe he had three.

I believe that ChuckG37 was posing as an Infiniti fan that bashed Lexus, his true allegiance unknown.

I think he did bad in school and now his Mom won't allow him to use the internet for a few days.

One day Crappy will be gone and the rest of the rational thinking people will rejoice just like we are today with ChuckG37.

Keep digging yourself deeper Crappy...BTW, using all caps does not make your point stand out any more. It only make you look like you're grasping at straws...Everybody knows that.

That is what I was thinking. There is a big difference here. Nissan has cash flow and wants low interest loans, very smart of them.
