Looks like it's going to go ahead.

It won't affect the current planned new model ranges from Honda, no. Those are all so far advanced in development there's no way they could change them now.

It's a merger that does nothing at all good for Honda and makes no strategic sense - Honda and Nissan are direct competitors with pretty much identical ranges, not natural partners. Honda don't need or want it, but have been politically strong armed into it, to save Nissan who are in the jobby (and who have never liked the Renault part ownership).

To make it really work, they will need to share platforms and technology. Outside of batteries, that's not good for generating unique models that differentiate from each other, so I do worry for the long term.

What about Honda/ Toyota merge as in this example.

I like that, also mapped at StreetRacers.

I like that also.
Bet the Toyota owners must be frothing.
