Absolutely not true. The Nissan Sunderland plant (which produces over 500K cars per year on two lines) produces both the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti Q30 in low volume on line two (might be line 1, not certain now). The Q30 was introduced from a slow ramp up without stopping production of the line around 18 months ago and is a low volume car.
- mynameisvlad 9y agoIt cost $375 million to retrofit the plant to support building the Q30: http://infinitinews.com/en-US/infiniti/usa/releases/infiniti-q30-officially-starts-production-in-sunderland-uk http://infinitinews.com/en-US/infiniti/usa/releases/infiniti... That's in line with what the parent comment said; it's not cheap at all do add a new vehicle to an existing assembly line, and it's not worth it for low volume production. Infinity also sold over 25 thousand Q(X)30s in 2017, so it's not as low volume as talked about in previous comments, either.
