NU-CARS

Welcome to NU-CARS 2012

History of NU-CARS

NU C A R S, an acronym for "Northwood University Computerized Automotive Retail Simulation," is an English-language management training game developed by Toyota/ University of California that puts the automotive students as close to reality as possible in an academic environment. The simulation challenges student teams to cope with real life challenges in automotive dealership operations.

The student teams will be formed from five colleges and universities with automotive dealership management programs in their curriculums. Students work with teammates as opposed to individually, reflecting today's management philosophy. Team members come from a multitude of cultural and language backgrounds requiring a higher level of understanding and cooperation to accomplish goals.
