Maybe they could make a comeback by building a car that came with wind up windows, manual door locks, a key operated ignition, an engine you can tinker with and a basic radio. If you want a gps, get a Garmin. Get rid of all the computers and tracking crap.

I'd like that. The tech has gone beyond anything I want from a car. It's gone from cool to frustrating.
I know, it's not going back to simple but simple was good.

Not everything you ask for, but some of it.

Well, in our area the only Nissan you see on the road for most part is Altima. Apparently a pathway car for those who can't quite get a Charger/Challenger. They are both driven with equal aplomb and indifference to any norms, laws or common sense.

If reparations were made, Jackson alone would put Nissan in terrific position again.

I looked into buying a year or 3 old one before getting the RAV I now have,

did not want another CVT (traded the 15 Civic w/ CVT) and the RAV was better rated, and the examples I found and saw on the road seem to hold up better

subject test, I know, but it worked for me

Honda And Nissan To Work Toward Merger That Would Make Them World's Third Largest Automaker

As China continues its dominance over the global market, EVs continue to play a central role in changing the business and global economies slow down, Honda and Nissan have announced plans to merge, according to AP.

The resultant company would be world’s third-largest automaker by sales, according to the report. On Monday the two companies announced they had signed a memorandum of understanding to integrate their businesses, with Mitsubishi Motors also joining the discussions.

Facing competition from EV leaders like Tesla and China's BYD, Japanese automakers are uniting to cut costs and accelerate their transition to electric vehicles.

Honda's president, Toshihiro Mibe, stated the companies plan to form a joint holding company, maintaining their brands while Honda leads management. A merger agreement is targeted for June, with the holding company expected to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by August 2026.

There is still to study and discuss, Mibe said. He commented: “Frankly speaking, the possibility of this not being implemented is not zero.”
