Karl Brauer, executive analyst at iSeeCars.com, discusses the possibility of a mega merger between Honda and Nissan.
Honnitsubishi (Honda + Nissan + Mitsubishi) will be a disaster. Honda makes super reliable cars, while Nissan and Mitsubishi make CVT-failing rubbish.
It’s Honda that silently taking over the Nissan/mitsubishi alliance. Nissan is still a popular brand in Asia/south east Asia. For Honda it’s all about market share, it will be the third largest car produser in the world with a large market share in Asia where smaller and affordable cars are in demand
@@12345anton6789 the demand for ICE cars is falling hard in Southeast Asia. Even Thailand is gearing up to change from building ICE cars to EV cars.
Believe me it wont
interesting
I can’t wait till we start seeing some affordable sleeper coupes and sedans.😂😂😂
This merger may give Honda more leverage.
All three manufacturers will get a big boost 😊
@@stocksandrich1369 honda sales fell 15% this year. BYD is taking them on by the neck. If they are not careful they will go bankrupt in 6-8 years. Japanese cars is getting outdated every year even the new model. Technology stagnation seems the problem with Japanese cars.
Hey Tesla the competition are coming errr imploding
BYD and Tesla are very scared 😂😂😂
not really
Not really, Tesla and BYD are well ahead of the game. This is more a survival mode for the 2 companies cause in 7-10 years time they will go bankrupt if they are not careful. BYD alone could take on these two without a sweat. Nissan deserved it for not innovating. BYD rolls out 30+ patents everyday, way too advanced than Honda.
@@Ghost12561I don’t like any tech coming out of China, especially their cars.
@aminr4281 me too but unfortunately their R and D has surpassed Japanese and Western cars. 2 days ago I had a chance to ride an Aion EV but been in a toyota car for 10 years, difference is night and day, you could never compare new generation chinese cars with japanese cars, its too advance. Anyway, it is good overall for consumers like us as it promote innovation and competition.
Tony Seba had predicted this disruption of ICE car makers 10 years ago
Why would Honda (IMHO – Best Automaker out there) pollute their gene pool with the likes of Nissan……. Big Mistake – Big ……..
This is not a merger from strength. Nissan is very weak with debt trading in junk territory. Honda is nothing special, just a mid-market vehicle maker with no distinctive technology, engineering or design. They both don’t spend enough on EV technology and will need to catch-up on R&D.
not a threat, none of their cars are future proof
Hope Nissan doesn’t ruin Honda. If Honda is in charge & has the ability to remove people and Nissan, it would be better.
Agree Honda is the better product
BTW, Honda is more or less a US company… it’s biggest market.
Honda should wait till the Nissan debt comes due and drive a better deal.
Japanese car companies are too slow to see what consumer need they sre riding on old frame. Chinese vehicles will take over them
I hope Honda doesn’t ruin its good reputation and product with this merger
Reputation is tainted ..had to litigate against acura…sold me a car with engine recall…didn’t wanna fix it ..they ended up buying me a house 😂…I gotta change my name lol
Nissan and Honda have very weak EV and software technology, their system is also hierarchal not meritocratic. SouthEast Asia is already shifting to EV, demand for Japanese cars is falling fast.
There’s no threat 😕😬
They is a big decline in there sales
There’s not one famous product from both these brands from last 5-7 years 😢
Still stucked in 80s and early 2000 period
sad to heear that Honda is gonna give up his independance!
Tesla and BYd should merge😅😅😅😅😅
Nope. It’ll simply become unwieldy
The time has come for Japanese car makers to consolidate. The world can not support a surfeit of Japanese cars. Want to see Mazda, Suzuki, & Mitsubishi to merge with someone bigger.
A threat to nobody. Honda and Nissan are in trouble. Over-capacity. Something has to be cut …
Nike ❤❤
These companies laughed at BYD 10 years ago. Their refusal to innovate had put them in this ferulous situation. If Toyota does not change its EV outlook they will find themselves in this similar situation. The NOKIA fate!
Who cares about EVs?
Carmakers that don’t produce EV’s will go bankrupt. So they’d better care about them
Toyota will still dominate!
yeah Nissan may be a threat to Honda !!!
Honda -Nissan merger will bring Honda quality down!
As much as I hate tech coming from China, they might over take Japanese car manufacturers ,expect maybe Toyota, but Japan as a country has a lot of issue like low birth rate and even the quality of their tech is going down while China and India are slowly but surely moving up! India and China will eventually replace South Korea and Japan as the tech leaders of Asia and I’m not liking this at all, but it is happening!
Great reset is here thank god only one more year before i can finally watch the chaos unfold ill sertle for the recession in 2025 by july tho and the disappoint retail sales in February and bank losses in march for now
You know what’s funny about all this is that George Carlin literally predicted this
This could be a ridgid path for Honda to take on Nissan. Though I do feel for Nissan, even Cummins screwed them with the engine they provided for the Titan trucks. Among other things.
I wouldnt bet big on tying two Luddite cultures together to make a winner. Legacy auto in Japan either doesnt see what is coming or doesnt want to participate.
I dont think they will become bigger.. they will shrink.. Nissan is bound to fail.. Honda wasn’t growing either..
How can we get your, iSeeCars, and your subscribers’ opinions “up the flagpole” to the people that matter at Honda management/ executives/ board/ etc., i.e. the decision makers? Has Honda created any kind of social media listening system yet? Or do we need to create one for them? How else are they going to hear the honest opinion of their buying public? A lot of people in your comments section make a lot of valid points about why this is a bad idea; will cost them a lot of money, tarnish their reputation, etcetera which should factor heavily into Honda’s decision making!!
It doesn’t matter. Their lack of EV solution and failure to capture the ev wave will doom them. Chinese ev will eat their lunch in Asia, South America, and also China… it’s an extinction level event
Honda and Nissan will create a monopoly which will threaten US national security and harm competition.
Honda reliability going down, Nissan is already down in the toilet
Nothing exciting about this merger
I have no doubt trying to merge Nissan and Honda comes from Japanese government’s foolish pride and nationalistic sides. To be bought out by Chinese company especially in auto industry is a kind of insult for Japan and it should be obstructed whatsoever even though it wouldn’t work for both Nissan and Honda.
Look what they did to Carlos Ghosn himself.
It’s a shame that Chinese companies are not allowed to compete in fair and free markets. I am not big fan of Chinese cars but It would be very beneficial for consumers for price, innovation and quality points of view.
