Honda and Nissan make it official: Their merger talks are off
-
My first car was a Nissan too. It was an unreliable piece of shit. So based on that palpable experience, I'm glad this merger is off.
-
My little brother said the same thing. I think you're both right. Clearly that wasn't enough to push the deal through though.
-
Thank goodness.
Honda might have dropped quality a bit over the last decade, but they're nothing on the dodginess of Nissan.
I simply wouldn't buy a modern Nissan vehicle.
-
Why?
Nissans haven't look good in ~20 years.
-
If they were pressured into a merger by the Japanese government, what is the path forward? You could a) wind down Nissan or b) solve their major problem by putting Honda engines and transmissions in them. Which also brings their engine r&d cost to 0.

Let Nissan do the styling? No, no, no. They already vomited out the Juke and Cube, we don't need more vehicular abominations out there on the roads...
-
Yes but whats the gain to merge the 2 brands just for a modicum improvement?
bring them together when each can contribute something great, not just to limp along together
-
What's wrong with the Cube?
-
Have you owned one?
They are unreliable and even Nissan itself cannot fix them
-
Look what they did to my Pathfinder!
Fuck Nissan.
-
IMO the 1st gens are the only true pathfinder. And it's 2nd gen brother with FAS a not so close second.
I hadn't even paid attention to the abomination it's become in the last few years.
-
I fell in love with the first gens, but by the time I was able to buy one, it was a '96. 4WD and a standard. Terrible gas mileage, but I loved that baby and she always got me where I was going.
But I agree, the first gens were awesome.
-
Nissans are the American cars of Japan.
-
They are very popular for carshare companies. I have rented a NV200 from a carshare for picking up a TV before and it was a nice experience and very inexpensive.
-
I am out of the loop on this one. I always thought Nissan made solid vehicles. Even newer ones. Has there been some changes?
-
I can agree with this. Problem is Nissan wanted their CEO.and board members to retain control of the company.
Obviously it would be a bad idea since I'm sure it's best to avoid Nissan to take down Honda with their bad decisions.
Nissan picked their CEO and boardmembers over the entire Japanese and American Nissan workforce.

Disgusting. They can rot on their own.
Never buying nissan.
-
I looked at getting them, ending up going with Hyundai instead.
Very satisfied with my purchase.
