Nissan taking over Mitsubishi?

Nissan to take 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors - BBC News

Apparently, Mitsubishi fuel economy scandal is pushing it down the toilet and Nissan, instead of putting out OUR NEXT GEN Z, are buying wacky doo sub par car companies. They will own 34% of Mitsubishi, being the largest shareholder in the brand.

Cash Rich Companies usually will buy other's Companies if their Shares dropped to record low,so to make $$$ when their Shares go up.

Mitsubishi is a huge acquisition for NISSAN
Not only in auto market share
They also have heavy equipment
Way to go NISSAN

I agree, but for purely selfish reasons.

Some models of Mitsubishi passenger vehicles have apparently not sold that well in Canada and, because we own a 2010 Outlander XLS, we want to make sure that somebody rescues Mit. so that Mit. can continue to honor our 10-year powertrain warranty. Go Nissan!

Agreed. Style-wise, I think the Eclipse was probably the best-looking Mit. sports car ever. Change the model name to something that has more numbers than letters, put a Nissan 3.7 NA or FI under the hood and I think they'd sell very well. (And while I'm dreaming with my fingers, make it a RWD-only 2-seater and, for convertibles, design the top to be manually operated, like the one on the venerable C5 Vette.)

The acquisition is only Mitsubishi Motors. Has nothing to do with Mitsubishi Fuso (trucks/busses) nor Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. For reference, Mitisubishi Motors is like the 20th largest auto manufacturer in the world. Nissan is the 6th largest.

It's all a conspiracy!

Nixin · 05-13-2016, 01:35 PM

I hope that Nissan will offer a 10 year warranty as well, just like Mitsubishi does?

Eclipz · 05-13-2016, 03:28 PM

So I have a Nissan Eclipse now?

UNKNOWN_370 · 05-14-2016, 11:13 AM

Well Nissan is holding back on making exciting cars.
Mitsubishi, no longer has an exciting car for 2017.

So does this meaning together Nissan and Mitsubishi are striving to make the most boring car in the universe?

Go Mitssan MiraSentra!!!

They gotta make things that they can sell and get a reasonable ROI. I suspect that the only reason the Z34 is even still in the lineup is that there hasn't been any re-tooling, re-design, or R&D on that ancient platform in 8 years.

Nissan is a pretty successful car company. They might not be making what you and I want to buy, but their overall marketing effort to the rest of the world seems to be pretty effective. The vast bulk of their target market appears to prefer cars that aren't particularly exciting. Exciting cars tend to be "niche" vehicles with a limited market due to their expense and/or relative impracticality.

Mistubishi sells a ton of really tiny econoboxes in Asia. Nissan can scoop up that segment and ditch the rest of the Mitsubishi lineup and come out ahead.
