On 20 March 2012, it was announced that Nissan would revive the Datsun marque as a low-cost car brand for use in Indonesia, Nepal, South Africa, India, and Russia,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rushlane.com/india-bound-datsun-will-also-1267791.html |title=India bound Datsun will also head to South Africa by 2014 |date=28 February 2013 |access-date=28 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130303004130/http://www.rushlane.com/india-bound-datsun-will-also-1267791.html |archive-date=3 March 2013 }}</ref> and on 15 July 2013, nearly three decades after it was phased out, the name was formally resurrected. Nissan said the brand's reputation for value and reliability would help it gain market share in emerging markets.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10000872396390443890304578009284279919750 |title=For Datsun Revival, Nissan Gambles on $3,000 Model |publisher=The Wall Street Journal Online |date=1 October 2012 |last=Dawson |first=Chester |access-date=16 June 2015}}</ref>
