Nissan Reconsidering Auto Show

Yesterday we discussed Nissan's decision to withdraw from, among others, the Chicago Auto Show. Now it appears as if the complaints about their pull-out from local dealers have made enough noise that they're reconsidering. A spokesman says an announcement will be made next week and there is optimism. Chicago Automobile Trade Association spokesman Paul Brian said, "We're certainly optimistic, and it would be marvelous if they did. It would be a testimonial to a terrific group of dealers, who have worked very hard to make Nissan the No. 4-selling brand in Chicago."
