Honda and Nissan have formally agreed to hold talks over the next six months on a possible merger, a deal that would create the world’s third-largest automaker and give them more resources to compete with a growing threat from Chinese carmakers.

Honda's electric output here in Europe is close to nothing and what there is is dreadful. The little Honda E was cute but not very practical and far too expensive.

And here's someone who hasn't heard of BYD yet

IC engines and drivetrains, Honda is probably best on the planet. An ICE Honda if maintained can basically run forever (and if you replace other wear items). BYD is amazing and the future, though, yes.

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
