With environmental concerns growing among consumers, rising gasoline prices and a desire for a reliable vehicle, Nissan embarked on becoming the first to develop an electric vehicle. The Nissan Leaf was rolled out for public purchase in 2008. Nissan has remained a leader in the electric vehicle market.

As a result, numerous theatre stocks have fallen in value, perhaps attracting acquirers looking for bargains.

- India is home to some of the world’s deadliest roads. However, international automobile makers do not provide standard safety features in entry-level cars sold in India that are required in other developed countries. India’s death toll on the roads has ranked top in the world for eight straight years, exceeding 130,000 fatalities a year. Despite this, automakers strip safety features such as air bags and antilock brakes out of the cars most people in India drive. They argue that Indian consumers cannot afford or are not willing to pay for safety features that could increase the cost of the car by 30 percent or more.

I have found that American Express isn't accepted in as many locations as its competitors because of the higher swipe fees (Bond, 2019). American Express prides itself on its global network, advertising that they are anywhere the customer is (Kotler & Keller, 2016). However, this does not seem to be the case in actuality.
