Notice where he'll be working?

Nissan Motor Co. (7201) said it’s hiring the senior auto reviewer for Consumer Reports magazine to be the carmaker’s new executive adviser on vehicle quality.

Champion, who worked as a Nissan engineer from 1994 to 1997, will report to Steve Monk, Nissan’s director of vehicle evaluation and testing, the Yokohama, Japan-based company said...

It sounds like heads are rolling over there. I guess telling the mother ship that the batteries can handle Phoenix didn't work out so well.

He should have great insights into what testers are looking for when they review new cars. That would be valuable information to have, especially early in the development cycle.

Too funny! Yet another reason for more people to report the battery issue to Consumer Reports and let Nissan know we are doing it. Who better than Champion to realize how damaging this could be.

I hope one of his perks isn't a "slightly used" Arizona Leaf.

He could be in for a big surprise.

I hope he gets a new one. Let's call him in a year!
