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.
I am out of the loop on this one. I always thought Nissan made solid vehicles. Even newer ones. Has there been some changes?
It seems like if Honda has any interest left in in Nissan, they’ll just buy it out of bankruptcy when that occurs. The only other chance Nissan seems to have is if there is a non-automotive company that wants to become one.
At the start of this I heard ideas that the Japanese government was pressuring them so that Nissan stock (held by many retirement funds) didn’t go to 0.

Thank fuck, Nissan is ass.
Nissans are the American cars of Japan.
Unfortunate. Their EVs are a great value.
Have you owned one?
They are unreliable and even Nissan itself cannot fix them
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.
My first car was a Nissan. This is depressing.
I looked at getting them, ending up going with Hyundai instead.
Very satisfied with my purchase.
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.
How do we pronounce Nissan in mandarin?
日产 = rì chǎn

Looks like Tesla’s next up to bat. Imagine, the union of the two least reliable car brands! The Japanese government simply will not let Nissan die (or become Chinese).
Financial Times: Japan to court Tesla on Nissan investment in exchange for US factories
Why they want to sell them to Tesla? Ignoring that Nissan has nothing to offer to them (chademo? LOL), all Elmo is going to do is fire everyone and run the company to the ground. Any toddler can do that.
Nissan has manufacturing plants in Tennessee and Mississippi that Tesla may want to get ahold of. In exchange Nissan gets enough cash to survive a while longer until they decide how to waste it.
(DAE remember the Leaf? Shit was dope. What the hell happened?)
Not much point in assembly plants for ICE cars. Why pay for what’s essentially a warehouse.
