Just found this and thought some of you might be interested

I was at the Nissan factory in Japan last November. A very inpressive site, other than engine build staff everything else was total automated, it was strange to see so much activity yet very little workers.

 

At the end of the tour we were given scale replicas of the 350z, I nice touch i thought. (shame they wer'nt 300's)
