Nissan marks its 90th<\/sup> birthday with five special editions in Japan, and McLaren switches to a build-to-order system in the US and Canada.<\/p>\n This is AM Drive, Motor1’s daily look at the news you need before you get in your car.<\/em><\/p>\n Nissan Marks 90th<\/sup> Anniversary With Five Special Editions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Nissan was founded on December 26, 1933, which means the company is only days away from turning the venerable age of 90. To mark the important milestone, the “90th<\/sup> Anniversary” collection is being launched in Japan. It comprises no fewer than five models: Sakura electric kei car, Leaf electric hatchback, Note and Note Aura hybrid hatches, and the Serena minivan. Sadly, the more exciting Z and GT-R are not included in this group.<\/p>\n The cars share an assortment of copper and black body accents, along with dark wheels and more of that copper inside the cabin. Nissan is also offering hood decals as a dealer-installed option. You can also order different floor mats embroidered with “90th<\/sup> Anniversary” along with other miscellaneous items like a special license plate frame.<\/p>\n McLaren Moving Away From Stockpiling Cars In North America<\/strong><\/p>\n McLaren is changing how it operates in North America by adopting a build-to-order system in the United States and Canada. Going forward, the 29 showrooms will receive vehicles that have already been ordered by a customer. It means dealers will no longer get a bunch of cars before trying to find them a new home. <\/span><\/p>\n However, there will be a couple of exceptions as dealers are still going to stockpile the more “mainstream” models such as the Artura and GT since these are typically sold quicker.\u00a0<\/span>McLaren Americas sales boss Geoff Tink explained in an interview with\u00a0Automotive News<\/em> how the new system works:<\/p>\n “We will allocate inventory to those dealers that show demand in the form of customer orders and effectively provide our allocation to the places where it’s needed the most.”<\/p>\n The decision to primarily switch to a build-to-order system makes sense considering as much as 80 percent of McLaren vehicles purchased in the US are custom orders.<\/p>\n Nissan 90th Anniversary models <\/h3>\n
