I believe the imports are paying close to $50k per year. Which should be a dandy wage for no more than a high school education. It depends. Nissan resisted efforts at unionization for many years in its Tennessee operations, while attempting to promote a "teamwork" concept that looked more than a bit totalitarian to me. When I lived in Nashville, Nissan wages at the Smyrna plant were above average for the area, but well below UAW levels, but that was ten years ago and I'm not sure where they are now. With Saturn's Spring Hill plant shuttered, there's not an easy comparison to make. Kia's Georgia plant isn't yet advertising for hourly workers, but the wage for members of the "production team," (i.e., assembly workers) is listed at $14.90/hr to start, with top-out at $23.50/hr. Absent any overtime, that would mean starting out just short of $31k and topping out close to $50k. As you say, not bad for a high school education--even at the starting number. I think the UAW has its sights set on Toyota's US operations right now, and I assume Honda will be next. Nissan, Hyundai and Kia won't be targeted as quickly, since their operations are all in the South, where even people who could reasonably expect to benefit from union membership tend to be hostile to the idea.

In 2001, Carlos Ghosn defied Japanese business etiquette, cut thousands of Nissan jobs, shut the first of five domestic plants to help $20 billion debt. So, most of well-trained workers (Japan and Smyrna,TN.) were replaced by cheaper labor (Canton, MI, and Mexico). He is a Hero for Nissan company that has serious financial crysis like GM and Crysler but not for us.

I've dealt with most of the Honda dealers in the north-metro Atlanta area- my best experiences were Ed Voyles in Smyrna and Hennessey in Woodstock. I'm NOT a fan of Honda Carland in Roswell (or Cartersville) or Gwinnett Place Honda. If you haven't already, you should price the specific car (trim level, color, transmission, etc) using Edmunds TMV (just go to Edmunds.com, click New Cars, Price w/ Options and follow the instructions). Once you get to the TMV summary, scroll down and you'll see the option to get quotes from various local dealers. It's worth a shot to let them all give you a quote! Can't hurt... Just my two cents...
Ford, Nissan & Tesla get first EV R&D money from Feds

Ford, Nissan and Tesla are the first to get loans Tom Stundza -- Purchasing, 6/24/2009 424 PM Ford, Nissan and Tesla Motors are the first beneficiaries of a $25 billion U.S. Department of Energy loan program to help car makers revamp factories to produce advanced-technology vehicles. Nissan Motor Co. was granted $1.6 billion in loans to make more than 100,000 electric cars a year at its plant in Smyrna, Tenn., by 2013. Ford Motor Co. will use $5.9 billion in loans to help retool plants in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio to produce 13 fuel-efficient models, including 5,000 to 10,000 electric ones a year starting in 2011. Tesla Motors, a California start-up that makes a $109,000 electric sports car, gained approval for a $465 million loan to develop an affordable family sedan. http://www.purchasing.com/article/295655-Uncle_Sam_expands_funding_of_electric_c- ars_R_D.php
Check your Altima's VIN #,at least for 2005
by elnino2783 on Sun Feb 15 20:57:45 PST 2009
This review of the 2005 Altima mentions that at the time they started manufacturing it there were two plants making it, one being a mature plant with experienced workers, the second being a brand new plant that was experiencing growing pains and having quality issues, at least in the beginning. Anyways the way to tell if your Altima was made in the good plant is if the 11th position in your VIN # is a C or an N. N is for Canton, Mississippi which is the type of 04/05 Altima you probably don't want as they had problems when they first opened . C is for Smyrna (Nashville), Tennessee which represents an Altima that will most likely have very few quality problems. This plant had been in operation since 1992. This is where I got my info, and I haven't looked any more into it, but it seemed reputable enough: http://www.texas-cars-and-dealerships.com/nissanaltima2005.html

Absolutely right about Tesla ( I admit they completely slipped my mind when I posted ) Apparently they have a good product but price is somewhere on the far side of $100,000. I have read quite a bit about the MIEV being tested in world markets. They started in Japan about two years ago and in California sometime last summer so naturally they want to get a realistic picture of the battery capabilities. I don't know if the Nissan prototype ( I think it's a Cube ) has had as much drive-time as the MIEV but I doubt they would put it up for sale unless they were pretty confident of its performance. There's some outfit with another EV from Denmark also hanging out in Oregon right now. Pretty sure their products name is "The Think". Don't know what the product plans for the Mitsubishi plant in Illinois are but I know they fought pretty hard the last couple of years to hold onto it. Only production plant in North America they have so I think it would make sense to build some updated models there, to avoid import tariffs at the very least. I'm sure that the North American Dealers would like to keep prices as low and competitive as possible. In fact, I recently read somewhere that Nissan was considering building their EV at their plant in Smyrna Tennessee. Building products in the same country where you plan to sell them might be the ultimate cliche in advertising gimmicks, but it sure works.
