Honda and Nissan announce merger to form world's third largest car company

This is a panic move because the Japanese car industry wasted a whole lot of time and money on hydrogen instead of EVs

Honda is known for quality, and every old Nissan I see falls apart. I hope this doesn’t tank the quality of Honda.

This is a bad idea. As someone comes from a “Honda family”, I drive a Honda because I don’t want a Nissan.

This feels like the quality of Hondas get to drop while the cost of Nissans get to jump. I fail to see how this benefits anyone.

What this really is, is the first major OEM casualty from the EV transition.

Nissan was in deep deep trouble. This merger is a lifeline, they needed it to survive.

Mergers should be illegal.

Nonsan? Honsan? Nonda?

Whelp, Renault is getting super fucked. Bailing out Nissan was a mistake.

Expect less competition and higher prices

Gross.

This is just too soon. I’m still shook up over losing Datsun in the 80s.

Honsan or Nisda?

Nissan's failures: Trash CVT, Toyota prices, failed to expand their e-Power (series) Hybrid, missed the small pick-up truck in the USA, ignored the sub $20k EV and they allowed shitty Tesla to grab the EV market. It means Mitsubishi will end up with Honda and Nissan.

No word from Renault?

Is it then called Hondan or Nissa?

Big Altima energy now for Accords

I enjoyed 90s Nissans when they made fun cars.

Surprised at how many people are in love with Honda. They're either annoyingly loud and slow Civics driven by young people with backwards caps, or by old people in sensible sedans like the Accord which are also slow but at least they aren't loud.

Goku fusion!

Honsan? Nisda?

Do we really need larger cars?

CVT all the things.

Merry Christmas, Renault.

I forbid it!
