Dealer sentiment improves—but trust gaps threaten CDJR and Nissan valuations. And despite years of doom-and-gloom, physical retail dominates holiday spending, with AI quietly reshaping how consumers shop across every channel.Show Notes with links:https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/self-driving-tech-ai-take-center-stage-ces-automakers-dial-back-ev-plans-2026-01-05/As EV hype cools down, CES 2026 is turning the spotlight toward AI and autonomy. With EV rollouts slowing due to cost and policy, automakers are looking to autonomous tech as the next frontier.Automakers pull back EV launches amid weaker policy support.AI and autonomous systems dominate CES 2026 exhibits.Tesla and Waymo's recent moves have reignited AV momentum.Rivian teases “eyes-off” driving for city streets.“That connectivity on autonomous, I do think will be front and center,” said C.J. Finn of PwC.https://www.autonews.com/retail/an-kerrigan-dealership-2026-trust-valuation-0104/The latest Kerrigan Advisors survey shows dealer optimism growing—but not for every brand. CDJR, Nissan, and Infiniti topped the least-trusted list, with many dealers expecting declining valuations for these franchises in 2026.64% of dealers have no trust in CDJR and Nissan; 61% distrust Infiniti.Dealers anticipate Toyota, Lexus, and Kia stores will gain the most value.Chevrolet sees a reputation bump, with higher dealer trust and value outlook.CDJR showed the biggest improvement in valuation sentiment year-over-year.“Dealers that trust the franchise are going to invest in the franchise,” said Erin Kerrigan.https://retailwire.com/discussion/lessons-physical-retail-holiday-season/Despite endless headlines forecasting its decline, physical retail flexed its muscles this holiday season—capturing 73% of spend, according to Visa's latest data. But the real story may be the rise of AI and its impact on how we shop.Total holiday spend rose 4.2% YoY; real growth closer to 2.2% after inflation.Physical stores dominated spend, though e-commerce grew 7.8%.Consumer electronics and fashion led category growth.AI drove smarter shopping—price comparisons, discovery, and decision-making.“This led to a more informed, more intentional consumer,” said Visa's Wayne Best.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

An interesting question arises in the case of a boy who was born during a leap year, on the 30 th day of Adar Rishon (the first Adar), and the year of his Bar-Misva is a regular, twelve-month year, when there is only one month of Adar. Since there is no 30 th day of Adar in a regular year, it is unclear which day is considered his birthday when he becomes a Bar-Misva. According to some Poskim, he becomes a Bar-Misva on the 30 th of Shevat. Since the boy was born on the day preceding the first of Adar Sheni – the second Adar, which is considered the real month of Adar during a leap year – he turns thirteen on the day preceding the first of Adar – namely, the 30 th of Shevat. This is the view of the Binyan Sion (Rav Yaakob Ettlinger, Germany, 1798-1871), the Minhat Yishak (Rav Yishak Weiss, 1902-1989), and Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura. However, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) maintained that it cannot be determined conclusively whether this child becomes a Bar-Misva on 30 Shevat or on the first of Nissan – the equivalent of 30 Adar, since Adar has only 29 days. Therefore, the boy must take into account both possibilities, meaning, he must strictly observe all Misvot already from 30 Shevat, but he cannot be counted toward a Minyan until the first of Nissan. A somewhat similar question arises in the case of a boy born on 30 Shevat in a regular year, and his Bar-Misva year is a leap year. The Binyan Sion ruled that since he was born on the day before the first of Adar, he becomes a Bar-Misva on 30 Adar Rishon – the day before the first of the real month of Adar, Adar Sheni. Others, however, maintain that since he was born during the month of Shevat, his Bar-Misva date is not affected at all by the extra Adar added in the year of his Bar-Misva, and thus he becomes Bar-Misva on 30 Shevat. Here, too, Rav Shlomo Zalman ruled that the boy must follow the stringencies of both opinions. He must strictly observe all the Misvot already from 30 Shevat, but he may not be counted toward a Minyan until 30 Adar Rishon.

Send us a textThis is the episode years in the making. In this installment of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tell the full story of finally receiving the R34 GT-R I bought three years ago and stored in Japan until it became federally legal.Over that time, I traveled to Japan six different times, driving the car the way it was meant to be driven and putting over 13,000 kilometers on it overseas — learning the car, bonding with it, and experiencing it in its natural environment before it ever touched U.S. soil.Now, the wait is over. The paperwork is done, the car is legal, and the R34 has officially made it home to Maine. We talk about the emotional side of the wait, what it's like to own a dream car before you can import it, and why the journey mattered just as much as the destination.

In certain years, an extra month of Adar is added to the Jewish calendar. The reason for this occasional extension of the year is to synchronize the Jewish calendar with the solar calendar. The solar calendar, which is used by the Christian world, is based upon the earth's revolution around the sun, which occurs over the course of 365 days. The Jewish calendar, by contrast, is arranged on the basis of the moon's revolution around the earth, which occurs approximately every 28-29 days. The Jewish year is determined by twelve revolutions of the moon, which spans 354 days. Hence, the Jewish calendar is eleven days shorter than the solar calendar. If we would follow only the lunar system, all our holidays would fall each year eleven days earlier than the previous year, and they could thus fall during any season. (In fact, the Moslems' calendar follows exclusively the lunar system, and so their holidays can fall at any time during the year.) The Torah requires that Pesach always be observed during the spring season, and it is therefore necessary to adjust the lunar calendar so it is synchronized with the solar calendar, assuring that each Jewish holiday falls in its appropriate season. We do this by adding a month every several years. The month that is added is a second month of Adar. (Interestingly enough, the zodiacal sign of the month of Adar is Pisces, which has two distinct images, corresponding to the two months of Adar. The sign of every other month has only one image.) During a leap year, when an extra Adar is added, the second Adar is considered the actual month of Adar, and the first Adar is regarded as the additional month. Therefore, we celebrate Purim during the second Adar, and we likewise observe Shabbat Shekalim and Shabbat Zachor during that month. If a child was born in Adar Sheni (the second Adar) during a leap year, and the year of his Bar-Misva is also a leap year, then, quite obviously, he becomes a Bar-Misva on his birthday in Adar Sheni. And a boy born during Adar Rishon (the first Adar) during a leap year becomes Bar-Misva in Adar Rishon if that year is a leap year. If a child was born in Adar Rishon during a leap year, and the year of his Bar-Misva is a regular year, then he becomes Bar-Misva on his birthday during the month of Adar. One might have thought that we should consider Adar Rishon the equivalent of Shevat – the month before Adar – such that his Bar-Misva should occur in Shevat. This is not the case, as Halacha considers this boy to have been born during Adar, and so be becomes a Bar-Misva in Adar. Conversely, if a boy was born in Nissan during a regular year, and the year of his Bar-Misva is a leap year, he becomes a Bar-Misva during Nissan. We do not consider his birthday to be in Adar Sheni – the month after the first Adar – but rather in Nissan. These Halachot result in an intriguing anomaly – that a boy can become Bar-Misva before a boy who is older than him. If a boy was born toward the end of Adar Rishon in a leap year, and another boy was born several days later, toward the beginning of Adar Sheni, then if the year of their Bar-Misva is a regular year, the younger boy will celebrate his Bar-Misva first. Since he was born in the beginning of Adar Sheni, he will become Bar-Misva on that date in Adar, whereas the older boy – who was born at the end of Adar Rishon – will not become Bar-Misva until that date arrives toward the end of Adar.

¿Te consideras un verdadero experto del motor? Hoy, con todo mi cariño, pretendo poner a prueba tus conocimientos. Vivimos en un mundo donde un Porsche 911 o un Ferrari Testarossa son iconos universales que todos reconocemos. Pero la historia del automóvil es inmensa y está llena de soñadores, ingenieros maravillosamente locos y marcas que brillaron intensamente para luego desaparecer en la oscuridad. He seleccionado 16 rarezas, desde 1954 hasta mediados de los 90. No son necesariamente los mejores coches del mundo, pero todos tienen algo en común: son grandes desconocidos para la mayoría de los aficionados. Si conoces más de la mitad... ¡enhorabuena! Eres un auténtico experto. Esta es la lista de las joyas olvidadas que analizamos en el vídeo: 1. Kaiser Darrin (1954): El coche con las puertas más extrañas de la historia. Se deslizan hacia delante y desaparecen dentro de la carrocería. 2. Facel Vega HK500 (1958): El "Rolls-Royce francés". Lujo parisino por fuera y fuerza bruta americana (motor Chrysler) por dentro. 3. Matra Djet (1962): El pionero olvidado. Se adelantó al Lamborghini Miura siendo el primer coche de producción con motor central-trasero. 4. Gordon Keeble (1964): Ingeniería británica, diseño de Giugiaro, motor de Corvette y, curiosamente, una tortuga como logotipo. 5. Toyota Sport 800 (1965): El "Yota-Hachi". Un deportivo diminuto y ligero que sirvió de base para la tecnología híbrida de Toyota. 6. Reliant Scimitar GTE (1968): Un "Shooting Brake" de fibra de vidrio que enamoró a la aristocracia británica, incluida la Princesa Ana. 7. Melkus RS 1000 (1969): El "Ferrari del Este". Un deportivo de alas de gaviota fabricado en la Alemania comunista con motor de dos tiempos. 8. Peugeot 504 Coupé (1969): Una obra maestra de elegancia diseñada y fabricada por Pininfarina, equipada con el motor V6 PRV. 9. Monteverdi Hai 450 SS (1970): La respuesta suiza a Ferrari. Motor Hemi de 450 CV colocado tan adentro del habitáculo que asustaba. 10. Bitter CD (1973): El intento de crear un coche tan bonito como un italiano, pero que arrancase todas las mañanas gracias a su mecánica alemana/americana. 11. Bricklin SV-1 (1974): Obsesionado con la seguridad, este coche canadiense tenía carrocería de acrílico y unas puertas hidráulicas que solían fallar. 12. Isdera Imperator 108i (1984): Nacido de un prototipo de Mercedes, este coche sustituyó los retrovisores por un periscopio en el techo. 13. Volvo 780 (1985): Cuando los suecos decidieron ponerse un traje italiano a medida diseñado por Bertone. 14. Autech Zagato Stelvio (1989): Una colaboración entre Nissan y Zagato famosa por sus extraños retrovisores integrados en las aletas delanteras. 15. Cizeta-Moroder V16T (1991): El diseño original del Lamborghini Diablo, impulsado por un monstruoso motor V16 transversal. 16. Autozam AZ-1 (1992): Una cápsula de combate japonesa. Menos de 3,3 metros, motor central y alas de gaviota. Y ahora, sé sincero contigo, conmigo y con todos: ¿Cuántos de estos conocías antes de ver el vídeo? Déjamelo en los comentarios y dime si te gustaría una segunda parte, porque candidatos no faltan.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here This episode takes a break from our usual detailed discussions to reflect on the conversations that shaped the year for the Auto Supply Chain Prophets podcast. Jan Griffiths, joined by co-hosts Jim Liegghio and Terry Onica, looks at why specific episodes stuck with them and what those moments reveal about where the automotive supply chain is heading.Live podcasting quickly rises to the top, especially the Midwest User Group episodes. Hearing customers talk openly about what they deal with every day brought everything back to reality. The hosts agree that these conversations stood out because they were raw, unscripted, and focused on real-life challenges rather than polished talking points.From there, the focus shifts to the next generation of supply chain leaders. Episodes recorded at the GM Wayne State Case Competition and other student-focused events captured something rare: genuine excitement about supply chain careers. Hearing students wrestle with real GM case studies and receive direct feedback from senior leaders reinforced why investing time in education and mentorship matters.Jim then reflects on episodes centered on leadership under pressure, including Kyle Price from Caterpillar and Darrin Lucas from Nissan. Both talked about disruption as something you plan for, not something that throws you off balance. Tariffs, volatility, aftersales pressure, none of it was treated as a crisis. The focus remained on preparation, trusting teams, and staying level-headed. The takeaway was simple but powerful. The way leaders respond sets the tone for everyone else.For Jan, Kate Vitasek's work on collaborative agreements stood out because it moved beyond talk and into how collaboration actually works. But with structure, accountability, and measurable business impact.Ted Mabley's data-driven discussion on RFQs exposed how outdated processes still slow the industry down and why technology only works when people are willing to rethink habits and silos.The episode closes with a grounded reminder: AI, standards, and platforms matter, but they are not shortcuts. Progress depends on people, relationships, and the willingness to unlearn old ways of working. With that perspective, the hosts wrap up 2025 grateful for the conversations, the community, and the momentum heading into the year ahead.Featured on this episode: Name: Terry OnicaTitle: Director, Automotive at QADAbout: For two decades, Terry has been the automotive vertical director of this provider of manufacturing Enterprise Resource Planning software and supply chain solutions.

The Nissan Z is a far cry from the 240Z of old. While it is technically superior to the 240Z of the 1970s, it is dramatically more expensive, even when you account for inflation. The Z was supposed to be an affordable everyman's sportscar. Yet, the new Z's price competes with the Supra, Corvette, and entry level Porsches. Jim Miller and I talk about why that pricing has lead to an early demise of the car, and Nissan's decision to make it an "order-only" vehicle.

El tema de hoy es uno de los más importantes en el mundo del motor. Porque comprar es fácil. Lo difícil es mantener. Hemos hablado de sus precios y de su tecnología, pero el coche no es solo un producto. Es un servicio. ¿Están las marcas chinas preparadas para “el día después”? Ya están aquí. Miras por la calle y ves un MG. Paras en un semáforo y tienes un BYD al lado. Te ofrecen un Omoda con un precio alucinante... Pero hoy en Garaje Hermético hacemos la pregunta incómoda: ¿Qué pasa cuando se estropea? ¿Avanza la post-venta al mismo ritmo que la venta? 1. La Promesa Sobre el Papel: Garantías de Récord Lo primero que te ponen sobre la mesa es la garantía. Y aquí, ganan por goleada. Mientras la mayoría de marcas se acomodan en los 3 años legales, las chinas han reventado la baraja: -MG (Grupo SAIC): 7 años o 150.000 km. -BYD: 6 años o 150.000 km (8 años o 200.000 km para la batería Blade). -Omoda y Jaecoo (Grupo Chery): 7 años o 150.000 km. Sobre el papel, es una declaración de intenciones. Te dicen: "Confía en mí". Pero una garantía, amigos, no es más que un contrato. Su efectividad depende de la red que tiene que ejecutarla. 2. El Triángulo Roto: La Realidad de la Post-Venta El problema de la post-venta no es el coche; es la logística. Es un triángulo con tres pilares, y si uno falla, todo se cae. -Pilar 1: La Capilaridad (¿Dónde está el taller?) Un coche chino hoy te obliga a morir en el servicio oficial. El taller de tu barrio no tiene ni los manuales ni la diagnosis. ¿Y cómo de grande es la red oficial? MG roza los 100 puntos de servicio. BYD prevé unos 60. Omoda, 80. Suena bien, pero Seat, por ejemplo, tiene más de 300. Si vives en Soria, Cáceres o Teruel, tu taller más cercano puede estar a 150 kilómetros. Tener que hacer 200 km (ida y vuelta) para una revisión es un inconveniente. Si el coche falla, es un problema. -Pilar 2: La Formación (¿Saben lo que hacen?) Estas marcas se apoyan en grandes grupos multimarca. El mecánico que ayer reparaba un Corsa, hoy tiene que diagnosticar un híbrido de MG o un eléctrico de BYD. Requiere una formación específica en alta tensión que no todos tienen, y la velocidad de ventas a veces supera a la de la formación. -Pilar 3: La Logística (El Verdadero Talón de Aquiles) Aquí está el punto crítico. El gran agujero negro. Los recambios. Para un Renault, un faro o una aleta llegan en 24-48 horas. ¿Qué pasa con un coche chino? No hay recambio de competencia. Olvídate. SÓLO existe la pieza original. Todo depende del importador y su almacén central. El drama viene con la "pieza de colisión" (carrocería) o "pieza de baja rotación" (un sensor, una centralita). Los testimonios en foros se repiten: "Llevo un mes esperando un paragolpes", "Dos meses parado por un sensor". Las marcas están montando sus centros logísticos en Europa (Francia, Alemania, España), pero si la pieza no está allí, hay que pedirla a China. Y hablamos de semanas o meses. 3. El Ecosistema Chino: No Todos Son Iguales Sería injusto meter a todas en el mismo saco: -Nivel 1: MG (Grupo SAIC): Víctimas de su propio éxito. El ZS ha sido un superventas. Tienen la red más grande, pero también la más congestionada y desbordada. -Nivel 2: BYD (El Gigante): Van más lentos, con una estrategia "premium" aliándose con los grupos de concesionarios más potentes. Son los más serios y controlan hasta sus propios barcos de transporte. -Nivel 3: Omoda/Jaecoo (Grupo Chery): El movimiento más inteligente. Se han aliado con EV Motors para usar la antigua fábrica de Nissan en Barcelona como su gran centro logístico para el sur de Europa. Esto debería acortar drásticamente los plazos. -Nivel 4: Los "Aventureros" (DFSK, SWM, etc.): El peligro real. Vienen a través de un importador. Si el importador quiebra o decide dejar la marca, te quedas con un "coche huérfano". 4. ¿Qué Pasa Fuera de España? No es un problema solo español. En Reino Unido, MG es un éxito rotundo, pero los foros están plagados de quejas por esperas de meses para piezas de carrocería. La situación es tal que algunas aseguradoras han llegado a pausar la emisión de pólizas. ¿La razón? No es la reparación; es el coste del coche de sustitución. Si un golpe tonto tarda 3 meses en repararse, la aseguradora paga 3 meses de coche de cortesía. Es la ruina. América del Sur es el espejo donde mirarnos: un cementerio de marcas "huérfanas" que llegaron, vendieron y desaparecieron, dejando a los propietarios sin recambios. 5. ¿Es Más Caro o Más Barato de Mantener? El mantenimiento programado (filtros, aceite) suele ser barato. El problema son las reparaciones. El drama no es el precio de la pieza, es el coste de inmovilización. ¿De qué sirve una pieza barata si el coche va a estar parado 8 semanas? Si eres un autónomo, un taxista o un comercial, es la ruina. El verdadero coste es el tiempo.

This Week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Rivian's bold vertical integration bet as the EV maker announced plans to build their own chips and lidar sensors, effectively moving away from NVIDIA.Is the introduction of “Autonomy+”, a new software subscription priced to undercut competitors a risky distraction or a necessary move as the company works toward profitability? As Rivian looks inward, Wayve signed a major win, signing a definitive agreement to scale with Nissan in North America and Japan beginning in 2027.Then there is Uber. Who does Uber want to be when autonomy grows up, and who will their partners ultimately be and what those relationships will look like in the long term? Currently, Uber's autonomy narrative faces challenges, as the company appears to be playing defense while getting front-run by partners Waymo in the U.S. and Momenta in Abu Dhabi. Closing out the show, Grayson and Walt discuss the growing world of international autonomy on the weekly Foreign Autonomy Desk segment, covering updates from Bolt, Stellantis, and Caterpillar.Episode Chapters0:00 Rivian's Autonomy Ambitions 13:11 Licensing Autonomous Driving Stacks17:29 Wayve's Approach to Autonomy 21:07 Tesla's Safety Attendant Out in Austin Plans23:35 Waymo's Blitz Scaling 27:37 Waymo's Growing OOH Ad Business 32:32 Uber's Autonomy Narrative 37:57 Serve Robotics 2,000 Robot Delivery Milestone39:30 Tensor Auto / Zero Partnership 42:13 Aurora's Permian Basin Expansion 44:47 Foreign Autonomy Desk 52:16 Next Week Recorded on Friday, December 12, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1216: Today we dig into the tightening-but-shifting new-car inventory landscape, explore Nissan's bold attempt to rediscover its “North Star”, and watch Target leapfrog competitors by baking full-on AI shopping directly into ChatGPT.Show Notes with links:November brought a slight dip in overall new-vehicle inventory, but the real headline for dealers is how quickly anything under $25K is evaporating from lots—and how quickly EV days' supply is rising. Here's the breakdown:U.S. new-vehicle inventory fell 1.6% to 3.09M units, but days' supply ticked up from 70 to 73.Sub-$25K vehicles are practically mythical—spending 1.5 days on lots.EV supply ballooned from 107 to 126 daysHybrids sit at a 60-day supply, ICE vehicles at 75 days; minivans remain leanest at 58 days.Toyota continues to run the tightest ship in the industry with 31 days of supply.Christian Meunier isn't pulling punches—Nissan has been drifting for years, and he says the U.S. turnaround now depends on sharper execution, stronger product, and yes…better dealer performance.Meunier says Nissan had “no North star, no vision and no direction,” prompting him to bring headquarters staff back in-office four days a week to accelerate decisions and rebuild momentum.U.S. sales have fallen 40% in a decade, market share is down to 6.4%, and heavy discounting has trained shoppers to view Nissan as “the cheap one.”Nissan needs at least 7–8% retail share to support its 1,067 U.S. stores, and if the brand can't lift demand, fewer dealers may be necessary.“Christian is the right man for the job. It's just a hard job,” said dealer council lead Mike Rezi.Target is jumping headfirst into AI commerce by embedding its shopping experience directly into ChatGPT, building on OpenAI's growing presence in e-commerce with Shopify and Etsy integrations.Users can search, add to cart, and check out via ChatGPT using their Target account.The integration supports drive-thru and pickup orders within the chat interface.This move mirrors Walmart's AI ambitions, but Target is first to market with a confirmed rollout.“Target is a great example of what that shift looks like when it's done with ambition and speed,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI CEO of Applications.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

เคยสงสัยไหมครับว่า.. ทำไมแบรนด์รถยนต์ที่เคยยิ่งใหญ่ระดับโลก ถึงยอมทิ้งชื่อเสียงที่สั่งสมมากว่า 50 ปีไปดื้อๆ? ในปี 1986.. Nissan ตัดสินใจทำในสิ่งที่วงการการตลาดต้องจารึกไว้ นั่นคือการ “ฆ่า” แบรนด์ Datsun ในสหรัฐอเมริกา ลองจินตนาการดูนะครับ เหมือนอยู่ดีๆ วันหนึ่ง Coca-Cola ประกาศเลิกใช้ชื่อ “โค้ก” แล้วเปลี่ยนไปใช้ชื่อบริษัทแม่แทน ทั้งที่คนทั้งโลกรู้จักชื่อเดิมไปแล้ว ผลลัพธ์คือความสับสนวุ่นวาย และมูลค่าแบรนด์ที่หายวับไปกับตา แต่เรื่องราวมันไม่ได้จบแค่นั้นครับ เพราะอีกหลายสิบปีต่อมา.. พวกเขาพยายามปลุกผี Datsun ให้ฟื้นคืนชีพอีกครั้ง แต่สุดท้าย.. ก็ต้องลงเอยด้วยความล้มเหลว และต้องฝังกลบชื่อนี้ซ้ำเป็นครั้งที่สอง ทำไมค่ายรถยนต์ยักษ์ใหญ่ถึงเดินหมากผิดพลาดซ้ำซ้อนขนาดนี้? และเราได้เรียนรู้อะไรจากโศกนาฏกรรมทางธุรกิจครั้งนี้บ้าง? ยินดีต้อนรับเข้าสู่รายการครับ พอดแคสต์ EP นี้ จะพาผู้ฟังทุกท่านย้อนเวลากลับไปดูจุดกำเนิด จุดจบ และความพยายามเฮือกสุดท้ายของตำนานที่ชื่อว่า Datsun เลือกฟังกันได้เลยนะครับ อย่าลืมกด Follow ติดตาม PodCast ช่อง Geek Forever's Podcast ของผมกันด้วยนะครับ #Nissan #Datsun #นิสสัน #ดัทสัน #ประวัติศาสตร์รถยนต์ #กรณีศึกษาธุรกิจ #การตลาด #รถคลาสสิก #เรื่องเล่ารถยนต์ #Datsun240Z #รถญี่ปุ่น #CarlosGhosn #ข่าวรถยนต์ #สาระยานยนต์ #รถแต่ง #geekstory #geekforeverpodcast

The blog postIn this episode, Mark Graban flips roles and becomes the guest—answering five core Lean questions posed by longtime Lean thinker Tim McMahon of the A Lean Journey blog. These questions have been answered by many practitioners over the years, and they cut straight to the purpose, the misconceptions, and the future of Lean.Mark shares how he first encountered Lean as an industrial engineering student, and how the system came alive when he worked inside the GM Livonia Engine Plant under a NUMMI-trained plant manager. That contrast, and the mentoring from former Toyota and Nissan leaders, shaped his views on what Lean really is: a management system rooted in respect, not a collection of tools.He discusses the most powerful (and most overlooked) aspects of Lean today, including the central role of psychological safety and why tools fail without the right leadership behaviors. Mark also explores where he sees the biggest opportunity for Lean—particularly in healthcare, where preventable harm, burnout, and broken processes remain stubbornly persistent.The conversation closes with why these foundational questions still matter. Lean evolves as we learn, and the answers shift as our experiences expand. Mark reflects on how continuous improvement requires an environment where people feel safe to speak up, experiment, and improve their work every day.If you're interested in the human side of Lean, how culture and leadership shape results, and where Lean thinking needs to go next, this episode offers a grounded and candid perspective.

Send us a textn this fun and fiery episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we break out a the much loved segment: HOT or NOT — where we each bring five items from JDM culture and rate whether they're heaters… or total misses.From niche parts and weird trends to iconic cars and controversial mods, nothing is off-limits. We go back and forth with honest takes, friendly roasting, and a few surprises as we reveal what we think deserves the hype — and what definitely doesn't.

Today's episode covers a bizarre $12,000 Hyundai repair caused by spilled water, how California police uncovered high‑tech key‑fob relay thefts, and Nissan's recall of 42,000 Sentras for bubbled windshields. We also road‑test the 2026 Nissan Leaf (surprising real‑world range and features), get Infiniti's winter driving tips, review the VueRoid S1 dashcam, and share maintenance advice for diesel trucks and classic‑car musings.

There's no arguing the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 is no slouch. But the World Time Attack Challenge is a whole different league, and in standard form this factory race car is basically like bringing a knife to a gunfight. To run with the world's best, it needed serious development—and that's exactly what Josh and his team at Specialised Racing Solutions delivered, bagging P2 in Pro class on the car's debut outing.

China EVs & More is back with a special Thanksgiving episode — and the China auto world did not take the week off.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Brand loyalty at Nissan isn't earned during a sale. It's earned later, when a driver needs a repair, and the part they need is already there. That moment shapes Darrin Lucas's work. He leads after-sales supply chain operations across the Americas, making sure vehicles stay in service instead of sitting in a bay waiting for parts.His team manages warranty support, service parts, and dealer inventory with one goal in mind: a repair should feel routine to the customer. The planning beneath it, however, is anything but routine. Instead of reacting to dealer requests, they work ahead of demand and stock items based on what they expect will be needed weeks from now.To make those decisions earlier and with more accuracy, Nissan is moving past traditional forecasting habits. The company utilizes AI-driven predictions, real-time performance dashboards, and automation in its distribution centers to prepare the correct parts before customers arrive for service. With better insight comes a different kind of supply chain partnership. Suppliers aren't just shipping parts; they're sharing data, adapting quickly, and helping Nissan support both production and service without sacrificing one for the other.Dealers are also part of the strategy. Darrin talks about advisory boards where dealers give feedback, test ideas, and influence how inventory gets planned. This helps Nissan prevent shortages before they occur, and it provides a clearer picture of what customers are actually experiencing in service bays, not just what spreadsheets predict.Darrin's own career mirrors the way Nissan wants the organization to work. He joined Nissan as a packaging engineer and moved into logistics, quality, and operations because leaders encouraged him to learn beyond his role. That gave him the perspective he uses today. Now, he leads by giving his team the same space to grow, allowing people to learn, think independently, and solve problems without being controlled by every metric. When people understand the business, the KPIs follow.Nissan views after-sales as an ongoing promise to customers who have already chosen the brand. It isn't a backup to manufacturing or a response to breakdowns. It's part of the relationship that continues long after the car leaves the showroom, earning loyalty through every mile the vehicle stays on the road.Themes discussed in this episode:How stocking service parts weeks in advance prevents vehicles from sitting idle at the dealershipThe shift from outdated forecasting methods to AI-driven demand planning in automotive after-salesHow automation in distribution centers speeds up service part delivery and reduces wait timesWhy suppliers must support both production and after-sales to meet customer repair expectationsThe increasing demand for OEM parts through e-commerce and how it disrupts traditional delivery modelsHow proactive parts planning turns after-sales into a strategic advantage instead of a reaction to breakdownsThe value of cross-functional experience in building leaders who understand the entire parts lifecycleThe responsibility of after-sales supply chain teams to maintain customer confidence after the saleFeatured on this episode:Name: Darrin LucasTitle: Director, Aftersales Supply Chain Operations Americas at Nissan North AmericaAbout: Darrin is the Director of Aftersales Supply Chain Operations for the

This week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast: OOPS ALL KICKS! The show this week centers around the entry-level 2026 Nissan Kicks. This is the first appearance of the second generation Kicks on the show, which is important considering how much our hosts like the previous models. Now the Kicks is available with lots of equipment, a bigger engine, and available all-wheel-drive. However, this bumps up the price of the Kicks to a new level, which is an important factor to consider when discussing the Nissan crossover. Hear the whole discussion and don't forget to head over to our website to send us your feedback and comments. Thanks for listening!

Send us a textIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Ben Norris, an Alabama native and proud owner of an R33 GT-R we met at GT-R Festival 2025. Ben's passion for RHD culture runs deep, and his story is a perfect blend of hustle, heart, and horsepower.We talk about his journey into JDM cars, how he managed to get his hands on a Skyline, and what the right-hand-drive lifestyle means to him. From the early days of grinding to finally owning his dream car, Ben brings a refreshing, down-to-earth perspective on the community and the culture behind it.

In Podcast #366, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew dive into some very recent first drives with some very important new models. Greg starts things off with a west-coast adventure in the all-new 2026 Subaru Outback, which officially leaves it's wagon identity behind. Then Jessica recalls her recent time in Nissan's longest running nameplate, the Sentra. And Alex gets passionate about his time on the Tail of the Dragon driving the Hurricane-powered Dodge Charger. Does it really need a HEMI now? Then we recap what we know of the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show. (This episode was recorded before the LA Auto Show announcements, so we want to correct that the 2027 Kia Telluride's standard powertrain is a 2.5L Turbo-4.)

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.
