Just doing a bit of reading with my afternoon coffee and found this little gem in an article about the potential merger of Honda & Nissan. The full article can be read here -

https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/nissan-honda-would-drive-better-together-2024-11-29/ but it deals primarily with the automotive world.

What I found interesting was, "Honda's operating margin at its carmaking business is just 3.6% - way below its motorcycle division's 18% - and may only improve by around a percentage point by the 12 months to the end of March 2026, analysts estimate."

Should give them some incentive to build and ship a few more motorcycle styles to the USA, but then again no one asked for my input.
 
I don't think they want my opinion on motorcycles for sale here either. Probably better that they are running the show than me.

IMHO, Honda would be foolish to merge with Nissan. Sadly, since their collaboration with Renault and behind the leadership of Carlos Ghosn they have went steadily downhill.

Nissan has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. The real question is which will go belly up first . . . Nissan or Dodge/Ram/Jeep? Personally, I hope they go in one glorious flash. They all build junk.
 
As I own a Jeep Wrangler, I hope the MOPAR parts depts stay around. As Wranglers will need multiple parts in their lifetime.
