Nissan to Build Next Generation Rogue Crossover in South Korea as well as in the U.S. [Updated]
As it turns out, Nissan will split production of the new Rogue crossover between its Smyrna plant in Tennessee, USA, (starting from next year), and the Renault Samsung Motors factory in Busan, South Korea, (beginning in 2014).
