My experience with Hondas and Toyotas is that they never need to go in for service.

The “EV Mandate” will go away for the next 4 and possibly the next 12 years.

By then, we will hopefully be over the obsession with Climate change hoax and the push for electric cars.

Only time will tell.

Huge relief, my next vehicle (if I have one) is going to be the Nissan Kicks.

If Nissan is still involved with Renault, Honda better dump that part or it will drag Honda down. Honda is too good to be associated with Renault.

There is seemingly nobody less competent about anything than the modern day global CEO. The “struggling” number auto maker VW. Hello, they are struggling cause they make crap and now they are all in on EV. MB and BMW announced earlier this year they are not going away with IC cars. The only major company that is running away with sales is the only manufacturer that rejects the stupid 100% EV scam , that is Toyota, who has made the best selling car in the world all hybrid, the Camry. These idiot CEO followers are all clueless. Now that Hondas founders are all gone, they are going down the crap hole too. Honda is Honda cause they do things their own way. They don’t merge with and buy losers. Nissan has been given 12-18 months to live. Nissan is an anvil that will drown Honda. What idiot would have anything to do with a French or Italian auto company. Chrysler soon to be history with stellcluless running its show. If it wasn’t for a small subset of guys who love Ram trucks or lesbos who have money to burn to buy Jeeps, there wouldn’t be a Chrysler either.

* Top Japanese carmakers Nissan Motor and Honda Motor are understood to be exploring a blockbuster merger, as the two rival companies seek to stay competitive on the road to full electrification.

Sell Mortimer sell.

The road to electrification is a fine road to take, go slow and stay on the right so as not to block ICE cars passing. Take your time, build necessary infrastructure, improve EV’s and progress over the coming decades.

Sad that they want to pursue total electric cars. Only the rich will be able to afford to drive. I guess that’s what they want.

My take! Hondas are great. Nissons suck. So once United you’ll end up buying a mediocre auto/suv.

Bad deal for Honda, Nissan is a train wreck. Merger would be a total failure.
The real problem is excess manufacturing capacity.

VW is over $240 Billion Debt and is trying to downsize. Same with Mercedes.

The U.S. has effectively destroyed the German Manufacturing sector with it’s sanctions on Russian and blowing up the Nordstream Pipeline preventing Germany from getting the Cheap energy they need and at the same time we are putting the breaks on supplying them LNG which is more expensive.

This likely means tinny, junky and unreliable Hondas. Oh, I forgot rust. Nissans always rusted faster than any other Japanese brand… at least in Pennsyltucky.

Kalifornia routinely has blackouts and brownouts in summer due to demand exceeding supply. And that's with EVs representing about 3% of the state's cars. Texas often has them in winter with EVs representing less than 3%.

What happens when national mandates brings EVs up to 10% ? Up to 25% ?
