Nissan's Bold New Strategy: Sell More Cars
Nissan's recent struggles are no secret. But over the last few months, the Japanese automaker has attempted to right the ship with a flurry of incentives and programs aimed at moving new product. This latest offering is no exception.
According to
Automotive News
, Nissan will ditch the 20 performance-based metrics that the company currently uses to measure dealer success and focus exclusively on new-car sales. That means dealers have more incentive than ever to sell you a new Nissan, even at a potential loss.

"What matters most is achieving better sales—more Nissans in consumer driveways," US marketing and sales boss Vinay Shahani told
Automotive News
.
The new program, dubbed Nissan One, will give dealers $350 for each new vehicle sold if they achieve 90 percent of their target sales. Dealerships that reach 100 percent of their target sales will get $600 per car, while overachievers (reaching 110 percent) will get $1,200 for each car.
Every new Nissan will afford dealers the same amount—so an

won't deliver more cash than a
Kicks
. And retailers will be allowed to spend that money however they wish. The downside is that Nissan will divert spending from programs focused on things like customer satisfaction to focus almost exclusively on Nissan One.

"We're significantly increasing the margin opportunity," Nissan's vice president of dealer network, Steve Milette, told
Automotive News
. "It will help [retailers] align 100 percent with where the OEM is going, because that's where the maximum opportunity will be."
Nissan hopes it can achieve a 5.5-percent retail share in the US by the end of the calendar year with this new bonus program. Nissan One officially kicks off on June 3, 2025, which means next month might be a great time to get into that Z you've always been dreaming of.

Ferrari Trademarks Hint at Two New Special Editions
Ferrari does a remarkable job concealing its future products from the public. It's not an automaker known for leaks, but now and then, a tidbit of information surfaces that spools up the rumor mill to full power as everyone ponders what it could mean. The latest is a pair of recent trademarks that sound like the names of two new special edition models. Ferrari trademarked SC40 and CZ26 last month, alongside requests to use both on automobiles. Beyond the filing, however, there's no information about these potential names or how Ferrari plans to use them. Automakers trademark names all the time that they never use, although that's not usually how Ferrari operates. There are plenty of upcoming opportunities for Ferrari to use either name if it chooses to, though. Ferrari Launching Six Vehicles in 2025 In February, Ferrari announced it would reveal six new cars in 2025 . One of those cars was supposed to be the brand's new electric vehicle, but Ferrari pushed its full debut to 2026 . We also got the 296 Speciale in April. That leaves four other potential debuts for the automaker to use the latest trademarks. Ferrari has no shortage of one-off or limited-run special-edition models in its portfolio, and the CZ26 moniker seems perfect for such a car. The SC40 name is just as mysterious, but it sounds more like something Ferrari would stick on a mainstream model. The company discontinued the SF90 Stradale in 2024, so any replacement will need a name. The company could also be preparing a new Icona Series model. In 2021, after Ferrari introduced the Daytona SP3 , the company said it had ideas for five new Icona models , and we haven't heard anything about a potential SP4. So it's possible these names could be reserved for such a car. We won't have to wait long to find out. Ferrari Is Just Fine: Ferrari Buyers Are Getting Younger Want a New Ferrari?
