My feeling is that Nissan shouldn't merge, Nissan as well as most companies have gone down hill in trying to find a more usefull vehicle. Most vehicles have gone to status symbols or are turning into general all purpose machines without the character they once had.
A small example would be Nissan's '07 skyline. Take the strait six out, take out the turbo's, put it on an already existing platform and ship it to America, we don't want a 350z w/ a differen't name we want the straight six, awd, turbo boosting wet dream we've had since we found out about how great imports can be.
Mazda's rx-7 the rotary's been upgraded and is better then it was before, but why do I need the extra door? So I can tell all my friends how fast I can get home from the grocery store with the car loaded with my spouse, 2 kids, and 200 bills worth of grocerys?
The Hummer was originally built with a pourpose atleast, until people started getting their hands on em, hey lets add 1000 pounds of insulation, carpet speakers, and anything else useless that we can think off. WHY do I need a 32" tv I'm DRIVING! Half the experience of driving is getting there, never mind of all the cool stuff you'll see if you pay attention.
As we all know life is speeding up, fewer and fewer people are caring less about what's along the way and just focusing on what's at the final location. GM's final location, the universal fit all do everything vehicle, universal parts made by and assembled by robots. Cheap to make, universal parts to fix all of em, and sells like crazy.
Nissan has proven it'self to me, GM once held that tittle, I've seen them make to many mistakes, and I've had to many bad expieriences w/ the company and the dealerships. In my opinion no one can trust GM to just buy a company, and let the company keep it's characteristic's that set it aside while guiding any company towards success. :furious:
KK, I'm done freaking now.........
