Nissan and Honda plan to enter into negotiations for a merger to better compete in the rapidly changing automotive industry, the Nikkei newspaper reported.
Ehhh we’ll see. I feel this is more a takeover of Nissan than anything else since Honda’s market position and corporate structure is so much stronger.
When Chrysler merged into Fiat becoming FCA, Fiat was the weaker player, but Chrysler had the most institutional level problems (and honestly always have). The merged entity ended up getting the bad baggage from both. In this case Honda has a lot better position to drive real improvements in Nissan.
Welp, guess I’ll stop buying Honda. It was nice while it lasted.
