month period, the automaker said. Nissan attributed the global sales jump partly to good sales of Altima and Sentra in the U.S., as well as the Tiida car and the Serena minivan in Japan. The Tiida and Teana also sold well in China. Nissan maintained its previous projections of net profit at 517 billion yen and sales at 9 trillion yen for the full year, record high results for the 6th consecutive year. --SP 1356 Local Time 1056 GMT
