Episode 473 – BMW Ends M6 Production, OnStar Adds Features, Nissan’s New Brand for China

BMW announced that it’s canceling the M6. This is the end of the line for both coupe and convertible versions of this performance machine. We’ll miss its high-revving V-10 engine and its 500 horsepower kick in the pants, but not its awkward styling or its six-figure price tag. Since its introduction in 2005 a total of 14,152 M6s were built, a number that hardly seems worth the effort given what it must have cost to develop.

Bloomberg reports that Venezuela is trying to boost demand for the country’s vast natural gas reserves.

NISSAN CREATES NEW BRAND FOR CHINA To capitalize on the growth in the low-end of the Chinese market, Nissan and its partner Dongfeng plan to introduce a new low-cost brand. According to Bloomberg, the two companies will jointly produce and sell cars under the Qi Chen brand starting in 2012. The vehicles are expected to be priced between $7,000 and $15,000. Nissan will be the second Japanese company to introduce a China-only brand in the country, next year Honda will introduce the first car under its new brand called Li Nian.
