OK, I thought the rumor that I posted about Fiat+Chrysler+Opel was strange... this one is even more so.

It'll never happen, but if by some crazy twist of fate it did it might be neat.
Nissan seems to be one of the only companies willing to invest in building exciting cars. |

I got to meet Carlos Ghosn at an economics conference in Detroit a couple of years ago. At that time, he was entertaining ideas to buy/merge with Chrysler. He is a VERY intense guy to talk to. He looks you straight in the eye and speaks directly to you. That being said, he was a very personable person, but I got this feeling that he didn't take **** and that your did not want to be on his bad side.

Expect a 390z that cracks at the headlights going 155 mph.

I think there are definite benefits for both companies here... Nissan hasn't been able to crack the truck market anywhere as well as GM does in it, and I'm sure could learn a lot from GM here.
GM on the other hand isn't all that strong in the small car market, where Nissan does rather well for itself (and part of the reason why Chrysler wanted to merge with Nissan not too long ago), and I am sure that GM could definitely pick up a few tricks there also. It should be interesting to see what comes of this. |

Yeah I think I would take a gtr over a mazdaspeed3. Both of which are the fastest each manufacturer makes.

Better to drive a slower car fast, than a faster car slow and all that eh?
I could not agree more. |

Don't get me wrong I like the speed3 and rx8 for that matter but I definitely don't think either is more "exciting" than a gtr or 370z and that's not based just on lap times.
This is not a bash on Mazda but more of a defense for Nissan |

ZOMG, THE SKILINE G-TR IS TEH F4ST3ST SLOBBER TWITCH SPRAY TAN JAEGER BOMB!!!!!!!!!
But anyway, this could prove interesting, and definitely beneficial to GM. If GM's small car line-up gets a little Japanese massaging, it can only help. |
