Since this decision is about the next-gen X-Trail, arguments about how reliant on diesel it is are a bit irrelevant. The next-gen could be entirely hybrid or full electric for all we know. You're absolutely correct that the trauma in the car industry is down to customer fears over diesel, but Nissan aren't stopping making the X-Trail, they're moving it somewhere else, and that is Brexit-related.
It's not, but Corbyn isn't helping either. I genuinely feel Labour's stance on Brexit is unprincipled and dishonest, and that's mainly on Corbyn.
No X-trail production is being moved, it just isn't being expanded whilst Nissan work on a viable hybrid platform for Europe. At this point it makes more sense for them to tool up for it in Japan rather than anywhere else.
Didn't they say in 2016 that because of the Government's promises that they wouldn't move production from the UK?
I don't see how trends on cars has changed that dramatically in 3 years.
Unless you're suggesting that the Government is doing this on purpose to derail Brexit.
Actually South Korea.
Nope, Kyushu in Japan. Unless you know more than the head of Nissan Europe?

That's the US version, which we wouldn't be building in the UK anyway.
The Rogue and the X-Trail are exactly the same car.
Except the government completely agrees with him...so.
Starting to blink? What? How? Your head of government comes crawling across the canal to Brussels every other day with demands from home, and every single time we've said "No! There will be no renegotiation of the proposed deal!"Im actually starting to think we might leave in a fashion.
The EU is starting to blink and if they can OK the deal and make it look like they sorted out the Irish problem for us, then this could go ahead
