The Japanese economic daily Nikkei said that the Japanese firm has outsourced production of the Grand Livina, a multipurpose vehicle offering a third row of seating, to Vietnam Motors Corp. The goal is to sell 2,000 units in fiscal 2010. 

Two more consigned models will be added to Nissan's Vietnamese lineup within three years, the Nikkei added. Nissan now offers five imported models in Vietnam, including the Teana midsize sedan 

The firm will open dealerships in two cities, including Ho Chi Minh City this month, bringing the total to four locations nationwide.
