    Honda must be in worse shape than I thought to consider merging with Nissan.

    Can’t think of any modern mergers that didn’t result in a worse situation than it started. Stellantis has been the biggest train wreck so far. Honda and Nissan don’t deserve a bad future like this.

    I mean for Nissan it’s either this, get bought out by the Chinese, or closer down. I think this is the best outcome of a bad situation.

      Nissan has a head start when it comes to electric cars, and Honda really missed the boat on that one, so hopefully some cool electric cars come out of this synergy.

        I wouldn’t say they have much of a head start. They did come out with the Leaf pretty early on but they didn’t really capitalize on that and their design is quite dated by this point.

      Been my daily driver for the past 7 years. Well, not Frontier exactly but Navara which is the European equivalent with the main difference being the 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine.
